    Ive decided the support for 2000 Mules is enough, you just lost me. So sad to see you had to go there.

      I’m sorry to see you go, Lori. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but election integrity is a concern both sides of the aisle should share. Have you watched 2000 Mules yourself, start to finish? If not, I would urge you to do so before completely writing off the evidence presented therein. If you still think it’s a bunch of hooey after viewing it yourself, so be it. But you shouldn’t pass that judgement sight unseen.

    I’m trying to find a place for a musical: my family loves musicals: but I want to try to find one that is Biblical. Have any suggestions?

      Check out Sight and Sound Theaters’ musical productions, Melissa. There is one in Branson, Missouri, and another in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We’ve only visited the Branson location (so far) but have been thrilled with every show we’ve seen there. If you can view them live, I would highly recommend doing that. We saw the stage productions of Moses, Sampson, and Jesus on past visits. You can also watch online, though, or buy a DVD of a live performance. They’re excellent.

        Thank you for the tip! I am definitely going to check into this. My daughter’s 13th birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and I am wanting to do something special to celebrate her first teen day! This might be just it. I am assuming you have to buy tickets right? If so, how much are they?

          Yes, you can purchase tickets through their website. I don’t know the cost. It may depend on where you sit in the theater. I honestly don’t remember what we paid for ours.

    Hello
    I wanted to send a big thank you for your year-at-a-glance calendar in with the habit trackers download.

    I’m a Speech therapist and it’s been a life saver for the past 3 years when it comes time for parents to sign off on therapy attendance! Please don’t stop making them, because I’ve scoured the Internet and they’re no where else to be found!

    Again thanks very much for your hard work!
    Best to you

      You’re most welcome, Rose. I’m glad you’ve found them useful. Thanks for all the good work you do, too. I had to take speech therapy when I was a child, and a couple of my boys had to have it, too.

      I’ve even posted a couple of the resources I made for practicing difficult speech sounds with my kids several years back. Check out Fishing for F Sounds and My Tat has a Toffee Tup.

      The ability to speak clearly and be understood by others is a gift those who’ve never struggled with such issues sometimes take for granted, but I will be eternally grateful for all help our family has received from folks like you. Blessings!

Well, we put our house on the market, and it sold Well, we put our house on the market, and it sold in 3 days. So after 5 1/2 years in this happy home, we’ll begin moving out this week.  #godisgood but #movingishard
We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone as gregarious as Rebekah finds this “don’t talk to me” meme so hilarious (see my last post for pictures), as she is an amazing conversationalist and always has been.  I even thought about stitching a disclaimer on the back of the Christmas sweater (my gift to her) that read: “These dogs may be anti-social, but I love meeting new people, so introduce yourself!”  #strikeupaconversation
So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated fro So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated from nursing school, her sister/roommate Bethany came up with a plan that the whole family should memorialize her accomplishment with hand-crafted gifts featuring a meme that — for whatever reason — totally cracks Bekah up. Here’s the results of our labors ( minus the doggie-embellished flower pot Beth gave her early. I didn’t get a picture of that one). 
Next batch of photos, I’ll share Bekah’s reaction to the gifts. Spoiler: She loved them!.  #flandersfamilycreates

I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics from our family’s recent stay in Cleburne (with a day trip to the Fort Worth Zoo).  There are so many fun, free things to do in Cleburne! Our favorite? The free community showing of the at the @laylandmuseum of the classic film Charade (starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant) with free popcorn, saltwater taffy, and bottled root beer provided by @trovatostreet. What a treat! We’re so glad our trip coincided with this monthly event.  #flandersfamilytravels
Dress for the career you want, they say. Judging Dress for the career you want, they say.  Judging by my grandson’s choice of clothes, he wants a career where he can fight fires, do surgery, and demonstrate his ninja skills — all at the same time. Oh, and also ride his bike to work.  For months now, he has been living in the same set of scrubs I stitched for his daddy at that age. They’re holding up pretty well!  #raidingthecostumecloset #thejoysofdressingup
