DIP STICKS ARE OUR FRIENDS!

On Friday, I started Tommie reading The Hardy Boys! It's just good, squeaky clean, wholesome reading... with enough boyhood adventure to hold my boy's attention. Our local library has a shelf full of them.... he thought Farming Fear sounded good. I am just happy that we've seemed to find a series that seems to be working so far.

Friday, also found me chatting with Holly and my pastor's wife at the local park... while, our kids played baseball! Afterwards, the walking path was screaming our name so we walked! The snakes were out in full force, we spotted lots of turtles the size of fifty-cent pieces and looked at wildflowers! It was just nice to see the kids being healthy and carefree in the sunshine!

Below is that boy of mine.... tearing apart an old lawn mower engine. His dad and him did an experiment, to see how long a motor would run without oil. They timed it... 8 minutes before the engine seized up. Brad said he did this experiment specifically to show Tommie THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING MOTORS OILED and DIP STICKS ARE OUR FRIENDS!
