An old elderly neighbor couple passed away and the daughter gave us loads of their belongings (most of which were sold last weekend at a yard sale). She said we could sell or keep whatever we wanted. Here are a few interesting things among them:

This bag says Christian Dior -- but I can't find anything to authenticate it -- I've submitted it to a purse forum for some help... it is definitely old -- but who knows!

Then these toy boxers are interesting. They are probably from the 60s? They are similar to the Rock'Em Sock'Em Robots, but very different too -- as they are real people. I can't find a manufacturer or anything on them. I've been researching them w/ out much luck.This is the other thing she gave us...

9 bottles of old old whiskey and bourbon. This stuff is ancient.

A not-so-serious conversation

On the way home from small group last night I was listening to a worship CD from our church. The song was Jesus Paid It All. The line came: Praise the one who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead. Kaiya asked me what debt was and why I was singing about it.

I'm thinking -- perfect opportunity to plant a few little seeds in her heart. So I start explaining to her that a debt is something that you owe someone. And I went on to say:

Me: You know how you learned that we all sin sometimes?

Kaiya: Uh mama. I need to tell you something. Remember that time that I rode my bike in the driveway?

Me: Yeah.

Kaiya: That was fun.

Me: You're right. That was fun.

Ahhh... maybe another time. :) Such a brief little window of opportunity and then her little 4 year old mind goes in a completely different direction. I had to smile to myself.

I wonder what God thinks of my 28 year old mind. Sometimes, my spiritual attention span isn't all that much better.

The Bradford Store

A few weeks ago (nearly a month now!) we went with friends up to The Bradford Store in Huntersville. It is a neat little family owned farm and store that has a variety of organic produce, milk, cheeses and grass-fed beef. We picked out some goodies to purchase and then roamed around the farm a little bit. The kids loved looking at the chickens.

Spookeo

I'm not a major conspiracy theorist or anything (although watching 24 has made me a little curious as to how much goes on behind the scenes in our country).

But I saw this website posted and had to check it out for my self. www.spokeo.com You put in your first & last name and it tells you lots of interesting stuff about you. It new that I like listening to Christian music. :) And it new that my mother-in-law is a nurse and that she has a swimming pool. And that we had kids. And that 4 people live in my house. Weird.
