The Dramatic Downlow: November 2006

Scriptures to Ponder

Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, so that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward apprearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:11

Happy Belated Thanksgiving

These are some of things that I am thankful for and not so thankful for during the past weekend and holiday season. You decide which is which…

1. My family especially my boys
2. My job
3. The family web site
4. My health & the good health of my family
5. The woman that cut in front of me at lunch on Friday
6. The man that cut in front of me & that I had to push off of me
7. The short lines at SDC, when we went on Thursday
8. Happy Feet that I went to see with the boys that helped lift my spirits
9. Saving money on Black Friday by shopping at 4 PM when everything was sold out
10. Losing my voice over the weekend (that is what the family is thankful for)
11. And stressing out over the weekend about my Series 6 exam (to sell securities) that I passed yesterday!

I'm a cheese head

Last weekend I went to WI. My first time to WI. It was The Suitor's birthday. He wanted to go to Lake Geneva, WI and go to an Italian food restaraunt there that he likes. So we did. I wanted to go on a tour of a cheese factory, but I could not find a cheese factory before hand. So I figured that we could stop at the information area and find a cheese factory. When we stopped the lady told us that there was not a factory for over 100 miles and that cheese is made in the morning so all tours take place in the morning. She gave us a map of all the factories & I saw one that looked pretty close. I asked her how far that one was, she replied "90 miles." Then I saw another & asked how far that one was, she replied "60 miles." And never skipped a beat. Oh well, 60 miles was further than we wanted to travel for just our day trip. She was right about the AM tours though.

We did go to a cheese store & tried several samples of cheese. Bought some for gifts & bought some salami too. We had a really good day in WI.
