July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Write about some of your most memorable vacations. Where did you go? Who were you with? What was your favorite part of the trip?  We did not take very many vacations. They had several Christian gatherings in a field within driving distance from us. Week long camping festivals. My family went two different years. There were tents set up where biblical subjects were preached or Christian musicians played and led singing. You were given programs and could chose what you wished to attend. My family went with the people from our church. At one time we had a large family sized tent. Meals were prepared at certain specified times. It was spiritually enlightening. After a couple years the situation collapsed and the meetings were not held any more. Years later I read an old article on the internet that said, the group that was responsible for holding the meetings were not able to pay bills run up as a result of so many people who attended. They went bankrupt and so did not hold any more gatherings. Do to our financial instability we stayed at home on a regular basis. For some years I kept a lot of horses. It meant someone had to be home for chores. Later, when the horses were sold, we kept chickens, dairy goats, and sheep. Still a need to stay at home year round to take care of livestock. I always tried to help the kids find things to keep them busy. I was not as good at it as I now wish, I had been better. Trouble is now I am more educated and more capable of understanding things I never even thought about back then. People can't go back. We can only hope life is better for the generations going forward. MY children had more than I had as a child. My grandchildren have more than my children in learning and technology. That seems like it is the way it should be. |
