Received this is an e-mail, I don’t know the people involved nor did the person whom I got this from but I want to view this whenever I need a happy heart. Might be a bit irreverant for some but I say, loosen up a bit.
Reading With the Family July 12, 2009
The Story of the Trapp Family Singers is the true, real-life story of the Von Trapps of The Sound of Music movie fame. I have heard that the real story beats the movie hands-down! Their family life was far richer and more God-centered than the movie even begins to let on, and all with very little money once they left Austria. This heritage is obvious in that their descendants are still Christian and still travel about singing the way Maria and Georg and their children did in the late thirties and forties.
A Book On Money
Overall, I thought it was well written, succinct, and applicable; three qualities I admire in a book. It’s even valuable if you know nothing about personal finance, because Passell does a good job explaining the basics like Coverdale accounts and Certificates of Deposit. It’s a book worth pulling from the bookshelf to find out if you like it.

my something similar? Never thought about painting it or staining it darker. I will add this to my looking for at garage sale list!
About the Dentist
I don’t like going to the dentist, but up until two years ago, I went every six months like we were supposed to. When my DH lost his job, we lost our dental coverage, plus we had no money and so we didn’t go. Even after he found a job we didn’t go because we had no dental insurance. We finally got some and it coincided with one of my crowns coming out so. . .I went to the dentist.
The first thing they always say is “oh my, you do have a small mouth”; this is after I tell them that I have a small mouth and would they please give me a baby or a childs tooth brust. Anyway. . .I had periodontal disease (great) so yesterday I had the first half of my scaling and root planing done. I hate going to the dentist.
So, to anyone who may read this please remember to floss, if you have a tiny mouth like mine use those portable flossers that are ready made on your back teeth. Also use Crest Pro Health as your toothpaste and as your rinse. Be thinking of me in August when I have the other side done.
Tips for when you go to the dentist, bring your IPOD and ask for gas.
Check This Out – Gorgeous
While perusing blogland several months ago, I came across this site, A Catholic Mother in Minnesota and while there today, I noticed her header for the first time (perhaps because I always read it in a reader format or perhaps because God wants to go to adoration) whatever the reason, just look at this monstrance! and a great site as well. . .
