It's hangover Thursday


It's hangover Thursday today. You know how you feel like you've been run over by a mack truck? Well, I'm TIRE-D!


I LOVE THE YOUNG WOMEN! I just need more energy, more stamina, more exercise, More sleep, MORE CHOCOLATE!


It was New Beginnings last night. We made glass bead bracelets for the new girls coming in this year in the colors of the values. You can see it in the picture. I told a brief overview of the "Daffodil Principle" about the woman who planted a mountain valley of daffodils (50,000 of them) one bulb at a time. I compared the girls personal progress values to seeds that they were planting in their lives. I asked 7 older girls to read a few lines about each 'seed value' as they held a flower in each color. When they were done, they put their flower in a glass vase. I asked a guest speaker to take the rest of the time. It turned out nice. So today, I'm tire-d.

It's still snowing here too



This was taken from the front porch yesterday. If you look to the left center you can kind of see the mailbox. We have about 1 1/2 feet of snow now. Dan took the boys sledding after we dug out.
