And the award goes to...

Just thought I'd let everyone know what a good wife I have. Yesterday, I had to deliver mail in rainy, 44 degree weather. Needless to say, even wearing raingear, I got wet and cold. When I get home, Kacie had cooked one of my favorite meals: fried deer steak with gravy, purple hulled peas, homemade cornbread, and Texas potatoes (with real bacon!!!). All because I had to spend most of the day in the rain. What a woman! Then this evening when I got home from church, she had done it again--she cooked more deer steak to go with last night's left overs. Smiles and full bellies all around! Love that woman!

This is My First Blog

This is my very first post. Kewl. (sike). I hate "kewl." Its ridiculous. It has to be spelled c-o-o-l and pronounced "cool" as well. I had a college course where an older classmate, (far too old to be using the terminology) kept on saying "kewl." Not just a time or two. ALL THE TIME! This was a night course, too. Three and a half hours of "kewl" this and "kewl" that. Then she started inciting her other "too old to use this word" friends into saying it with her. Misery. Speaking of cool, how many of you remember the practice of "cool pointing?" I was very surprised to hear the term recently. The drummer in my praise team said it the other day. He's a high school student. I had nearly forgotten the word. It did, however, bring to mind the time when my junior high vice principle, after questioning some students about the nature of this practice, announced one morning over the intercom, "There will be no more coo-pointing, and anyone caught coo-pointing will receive detention." Needless to say, we all laughed at the mispronunciation. I still laugh at it.
