Farewell Till 2009
The results are in on the ‘Crumby’ poll. Most of you do not advocate sweeping the crumbs onto the floor. I’ll have to break the news to them today. I’m sure it’s going to break their hearts. One of my boys tried to manipulate the results by voting more then once – but it wouldn’t allow him to since he would be using the same IP address. Therefore, I didn’t get to vote either since he beat me to it! Only a few days till Christmas, most of the gifts are wrapped and we’re all looking forward to spending time with extended family. Christmas will be at my sisters house this year. They…

A Great Weekend
What a memorable Saturday we had this past weekend. Some friends of ours put on a dinner banquet for about 35 couples. The location couldn’t have been better. It was held at the ranch of one of the prior owners of the St. Louis Rams. (She passed away this past year.) They liked to host parties at their place and had built a replica of an old west town complete with a mini-hotel and Victorian furnishings. A few ladies went early to help with the dinner preparations. That’s always fun. Of course we cooked till the last minute, then we explained to the servers what to do and left the kitchen in the capable hands of young…

A "Crumby" Poll
We’re having a little "discussion" about crumbs in our house right now. This is it. My kids each have a different meal time clean-up job. One sweeps while another wipes the counters and table. The question is should they sweep the crumbs from the counter directly onto the floor since another somebody will be along shortly to sweep? I have created a poll on my sidebar asking what you do in your home. You don’t have to be a registered user of Homeschool Blogger to participate and all voters will remain anonymous. We can’t wait to see the results – especially if they support our point of view. Crumbling under the crumb…

A Wedding, Birthdays, Thanksgiving Dinner & One Long Road Trip
After a little less then 2 weeks of travel and over 5000 miles driven, we’re back home. My contribution to the driving was 3 hours and my son 5 hours. DH got to do the rest all by himself. He does wonderful but for one part of his anatomy that gets quite sore. Miss Audrey was a trooper, riding many long hours in her car seat. When we left Arizona we drove to Missouri where my nephew was getting married. Justus was asked to be the ring bearer. He was so scared embarrassed (I’m not sure what.) but he was like a soldier walking down the aisle so very stiff…

Garage Sale & Other Updates
Well I’m off the hook for the garage sale I was going to do with a friend. At least for now. She wasn’t quite ready – still had closets to go through – so we put it off for a few weeks. Thanks for those who left suggestions. I listened and have included some of the items mentioned and have been inspired by the others to look for more things. I did find this link "How to Generate More Cash This Christmas" that I thought had good suggestions. Some of the things mentioned I had already cleaned out of my closets and given to thrift stores and to missions in Mexico. But it…
