My little girl dressed up in flowers and bows --
time passes too quickly a wise mother knows,
So I'll cherish the giggles I hear on this day --
along with each smile she sends my way.
-Tami Potter
As I go about my daily housework and routine, I find I can relate to one of my favorite literary characters as I read this passage. I hope all of you have found the same contentment and reward that Anne talks about here.
""I do not like patchwork," said anne dolefully, hunting out her workbasket and sitting down before a little heap of red and white diamonds with a sigh. "I think some kinds of sewing would be nice; but there's no scope for imagination in patchwork. It's just one little seam after another and you never seem to be getting anywhere. But of course I'd rather be Anne of Green Gables sewing patchwork than Anne of any other place with nothing to do but play.""
- L.M. Montgomery

One of my goals in life is to visit each of America's National Parks (I've experienced 10 so far -- 47 more to go, I think), | | Movies I have a toddler -- the only movies I get to watch are Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Veggie Tales. As for "grown up movies", The Princess Bride, Lonesome Dove, Band of Brothers, Tommy Boy, Ocean's Eleven -- those would probably have to be few of my grown up favorites- pretty diverse, I guess. | | Music Mainly Country (GO WADE HAYES!!)and some limited folk and southern rock | BooksI love the classics -- Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Anne of Green Gables
 | TelevisionThe Office is my absolute favorite show. It is a total riot. The sit-coms Still Standind and Rules of Engagement are some of our favorites (they hit a little too close to home -- pretty much they are like looking at Ben and me if we weren't Christians!) Other than that, we are a cit-com re-run family, Seinfeld, Everyone Loves Raymond, King of Queens I edited my profile at ChristianMySpaceCodes.comChristian Myspace |

Hey, Melissa!
What did you think of the season finale of the Office? Holy Cow! I can't wait until next season. This will drive me crazy! You know they will throw a twist in there to keep these two apart?

So Melissa, did it seem like you were forgetting to do something tonight? Like...I know I am supposed to do something but...<br>
I would guess that after doing Power JAM every Wednesday for the last many weeks, and now not doing it, it would seem like you had to be somewhere. I know that is the way I am when I don't have a meeting and I have had a ton of them. I feel as though I should be at a meeting or something.
So by the way, Thanks to you and Ben and your team for a great JAMin season!
