Christmas Project
For those of you who want to encourage your children to do something for others for Christmas, Samaritan's Purse Ministries offers a great opportunity to be involved with Operation Christmas Child. You still have today and tomorrow to get your shoeboxes for kids made and delivered to a drop off site. We'll be making ours today. We usually go to a local dollar store and each child chooses things for a child of same age and gender. This is a lot of fun--we like to see how much we can pack into a plastic shoe box! If you do this be sure you print out the list of suggested do's and don'ts and some labels for the top of the boxes.You can get these at their website. They have a suggested donation of $7 for each box to help cover their expense in getting them there. Have fun with this like we do! Lunch out at a local fast food place and box of hot chocolate mix to take home help make this a fun family outing. Also, we like to play Christmas music while we pack up the boxes.
This is a great way for the kids to be personally involved in serving others which is the best way to kick off the holiday season!

Sunydazy Days
Once upon a time, when things were not so complex...there was a handsome
farm boy (college boy) from the great woods of the Northwest
who came to the south on his
white stallion (White Honda Civic)
and won Buttercup's (Sunydazy's) heart.
He laid his heart at the foot of
her dress and said "Our love can be
like a storybook story. Will you be my bride?"
She accepted and they began talking
and dreaming of their perfect future
together.
Since that time they have together endured
fire swamps, ROUS's, the pit of despair
and yes, they have even teetered on
the edge of the cliff's of insanity (tee hee!)
Though their future was not quite what
they expected they still believe
in True Love.
This blog is all about the rest
of their lives where they are living
'Happily Ever After' in the land
of La Kooka Rancha.
They love to say 'you keep using
that word...I do not think it means
what you think it means.' and
'Hallo, my name is Inigo Montoya'
...but their favorite phrase is
'As you wish'....
