Her Ten Commandments

These are the new commandments ten
Which wives now make for married men

I. Remember that I am thy wife,
Whom thou must cherish all thy life.
II. Thou shalt not stay out late at night
When lodges, friends or clubs invite.
III. Thou shalt not smoke indoor or out,
Or chew tobacco round about.
IV. Thou shalt with praise receive my pies,
Nor pastry made by me despise.
V. My mother thou shalt strive to please,
And let her live with us in ease.
VI. Remember 'tis thy duty clear
To dress me well throughout the year.
VII. Thou shalt not be a drinking man,
But live on prohibition plan.
VIII. Thou shalt in manner mild and meek
Give me thy wages every week.
IX. Thou shalt not flirt, but must allow
Thy wife such freedom anyhow.
X. Thou shalt get up when baby cries,
And try the child to tranquilize.

These my commands from day to day
Implicitly thou shalt obey.

"It is as important for modern children to distinguish nourishing foods from junk foods in a store as it was for frontier children to distinguish between edible and poisonous berries in the wilderness."

Birdhouse craft

I've joined a craft of the month club and this is my first project. I'll take another picture when it is finished.

Don't cry because it's over.
Smile because it happened.

Primrose

This is my first primrose, the yellow one on the left. I hope it lasts. The window sill is pretty chilly. The violet is dormant. Every Christmas I throw out the old poinsettia and buy a new one. In case you are wondering, there are holes in the bottom of the pots for drainage. I soak my plants well until the water comes out the bottom.

State Quarters

I finally found the last quarter, Hawaii. I've been collecting these quarters for ten years.

Christmas decorations

I love this angel bell,and this lighted Nativity,
and these three Kings I've had a very long time.

Happy Birthday, Bob!

Bob, you are so special to me - you are my only boy! I had fun playing with you and your toys when you were little. I loved reading to you. You were a joy. I am very glad and feel so blessed to have you.

Little covered pot

This little covered pot is only 3 inches tall. I forgot I had it.

I've made a list of items women have eliminated from their wardrobes.

parasols - these kept the sun from your face
fans - these kept you cool
hats - these kept you cool in the summer and warm in the winter
gloves - these kept you from getting germs
over shoe boots - these protected your shoes and kept your feet warm
head scarfs - these kept your hair from getting blown in the wind and were a beautiful accessory
corset/girdle/garter belt - these held up a woman's stockings as well as nipped in the middle
aprons - these protected the clothes when working in the kitchen
handkerchiefs
shawls
slips
pantie hose

There isn't much left.

More of the park

Looks like we haven't had enough rain lately. The creek is dry.
I love to swing on swings. I don't like these rounded seats, though. The flat seats are more fun and comfortable.
Look at that blue sky!!!

Furs

These furs belong to my husband. He likes to make everyone try on this fox hat.
Try to guess what animals these bags came from.

Happy First Birthday, Giddy!

This video was taken by my daughter about a week ago. I can't believe how strong Giddy is. Gabey should be pushing Giddy around in the wagon.

Party

I went to a party on Sat. It was at the home of friends. This home is worth around $2,000,000. It has 2 dining rooms, 2 living rooms, a billiard room and, an indoor pool. The basement has another full kitchen. I don't know how many bedrooms. There are 4 garages, a full deck overlooking a large patio, which overlooks a large lake stocked with fish. As you can see from these photos, the home is very lovely. They give a lot of parties which are catered. Both the husband and wife are psychiatrists. I just thought you would like to see what a 2mil. house looks like.
