How Purple Martins Spend a Rainy Day

Peeps

I blew my daughter away this weekend! We had our annual ladies' retreat and I was explaining how the Lord led me to this year's speaker. I said "I realized I knew people (friends and family) that might have some speaker suggestions, so I emailed my peeps for suggestions." Well! I just wish you could have seen her face!!! Priceless!

Now I have to add a caveat and tell you that I just recently learned what "peeps" meant even though I know the term's been around for a while. A couple of weeks ago I asked someone what it meant and learned that it meant "people"! So since I am all for expanding my vocabulary, I now have peeps!!!! :-)

Leaning new lingo: educational
Seeing my daughter's face when I use new lingo (in public, no less!): Priceless!!

More India Pics Online

Our tour group said we would share our pics. These are ones that I posted for them. Of course, what I think is interesting or unusual and what they think may be entirely different things! :-) So, anyway, if you're a glutton for punishment or have nothing else better to do, here's a link to about another 100 shots. Some are the same as the others I uploaded but some are different.

County Garage Sale

Today was Bosque County's Garage Sale. Heart Cottage Bed and Breakfast does a big garage sale and last year and this year I was the hostess showing people Heart Cottage and spreading the word about the B&B. The kids and I lived there for 3 weeks when we moved to Clifton before our rent house was ready. I always have a good time telling people about Heart Cottage and of course, Vivian always has snacks and then serves a free lunch (with donations for our local animal shelter). Today was great. AND I sold $30 worth of stuff! :-)

India Pictures Online

I looked at the 2,447 pictures we took. Chose some representative shots. Still had too many. Was able to get the number down to a little over 100. Obviously, this is just a "taste" of what we saw but tese will give you an idea of India.
