Resizing the photos will make them perfect. I haven't taken the time to do anything with very many of them. I will try to do that tonight.
Love your sense of humor.
Marissa sends hugs and giggles.

With the fondue and tea, I think I gained at least 10 lbs last week. :(

Good evening, Visualops. That recipe caught my eye when I looked for a chocolate cake image to post for today. It really sounds special.
Thank you for the nice compliments.
Hope you've had a good week.

My much anticipated trip to Washington, DC started with my first airplane ride. What a trip!!! We said goodbye to California and hello to Texas. Then we said goodbye to Texas and hello to Washington, DC.

Did they say snow??? Yippee
.

MamaBear teaches me how to make a snowball.
She even lets me throw one at her; she is a great sport.

Now, I finally get to throw a snowball at Gramma Amy. Just one?

Who needs skates? I look just like those girls on TV.

I recognize these guys; my friend Sheila was right
.
The salmon was delicious.

Who is this? NnB? He likes to tease and make me laugh.

Inauguration Day
. We stand in line
and wait in line.
I hate this view. Time to leave?
But I didnt get to see President Bush. *pout* *whine*

Well, at least I saw some pretty horses that were to be in the parade.
The highlight of the day so far. Much better than looking at legs all morning.

The Ball!! I meet several other young people.
After eating, we watch cartoons and play games.
I made a new friend, Vivabushchicks grand-daughter, Naomi.


Naomi and I even ventured out on the dance floor. Groovy music.

Hey, Jim. I like your cowboy hat! You look soooo handsome.

To be continued later today. My trip isn't over yet.

Ants And Elephant Seals
Read: Proverbs 6:6-11
Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. 1 Corinthians 15:34
Bible In One Year: Exodus 1-4
Elephant seals spend most of their lives sleeping. Science News magazine reports, "Male elephant seals measure 16 feet from trunk-like nose to flipper, and they weigh about 3 tons. Occasionally, a seal will use a front flipperincredibly tiny for such a massive creatureto scratch itself or flip sun-shielding sand on its body." Otherwise these huge animals are basically motionless.
The article goes on to state that because they don't eat while on land during the breeding season, they sleep most of the time. Besides scratching, dirt-flipping, or rolling over, these ponderous animals seldom move.
By contrast, the little ant seems tireless as it goes about its industrious work of storing up food for the colony. The writer of Proverbs commends the diligence of the ant, citing her active ways as a model for people who would live wisely.
There's a spiritual lesson here. Christians who pattern their service after the ant get things done for the Lord. But others, like the elephant seal, scarcely move. They seem to be barely alive spiritually, as if they are conserving their energy for some huge effort later on. But the time to get busy for Christ is now, even though our talents may seem insignificant.
Imitate the ant, not the elephant seal. Dave Egner
Lord Christ, we humbly ask
Of Thee the power and will
With fear and meekness every task
Of duty to fulfill. Montgomery
Many Christians do nothing, but no Christian has nothing to do.
