Honey's Break

I just had to:)

You Know You are in Minnesota when:

"Vacation" means going up nort' for the weekend.
You measure distance in hours.
You know several people who have hit deer more than once.
You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.
You use a down comforter in the summer -- and gloves.
You drive at 65 mph through two feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.
You see people wearing hunting clothes at social events.
You think of the major food groups as venison, fish and berries.
You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.
There are seven empty cars running in the parking lot at the Fleet Farm at any given time.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
You think sexy lingerie is tube socks and flannel pajamas.
You know all four seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
You define summer as three months of bad sledding.
A brat is something you eat.
You go out for fish fry every Friday.
You can recognize someone from Iowa by their driving.
Formal wear is blue jeans and a baseball cap.
You drink pop and refer to your dad as pop.
Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
You decided to have a picnic this summer because it fell on a weekend.
You only know three spices: salt, pepper and ketchup.
You've seen mosquitoes with landing lights.
The local paper covers major headlines on one page, but requires four pages for sports.
You think the start of deer season is a national holiday.
You find zero degrees a little chilly.

So, what’s going on?

Rex and I went to a high tech store the other night and when it was our turn to be seen the young lady asked us, “So, what’s going on?” I had a hard time keeping a straight face. Super sweet girl though. Am I at the doctors I thought? Most things electronic are pretty far above me now anyways.

We had a board breaking BBQ with the families we teach tkd to last weekend. Rex broke 5 concrete patio blocks with a palm heal and one with a knife hand strike. Anyway the kids broke boards and after they broke the boards they threw them into the fire pit. After awhile the adults broke them also.

My mom came up a couple weeks ago. She usually goes to my hairdresser to get her hair done. I am going to really miss my hairdresser when we move. So, we had a nice visit with her. Why does time fly so fast when you have company over???

Have you tried Coke Plus? It tastes good but I can’t find out off the can what vitamins and minerals are in it:)

Lilly has been really sick all week, she was sick on Sunday night and we made her go to church. Probably should have kept her home. It is hard to tell sometimes.

I planted a lot of flowers outside from seed. I hope everything comes up. I do not have a green thumb! The grass is green though:)

Rexford is turning 17 at the end of this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! My tiny preemie is a big boy now. Overall we have been blessed with good children, not saying they have never been in trouble or they don’t have faults! They all seem to be following the Lord and that is the most important thing in the world. They all seem to have a solid foundation on what the Scripture says also, it's pretty amazing how some “churched” kids have never been catechized or don’t even know the basics of the Bible. It is actually really sad because it means their parents have not taken the time to do this with them. You only have 18 years with them and boy does it seem to fly by.
