Fresh Young Minds

My pc is located in the living room right next to the television, and nine times out of ten, if you were to drop by to visit, the tv would be on. I may not be able to tell you what is on but I like the noise. If I actually sit down on the couch to watch tv, I fall asleep. My hubby can not understand how I can sleep through the screaming and body parts flying or blood dripping (I like horror movies) but turn that noise off and I will wake up. When I do go to bed, I will wash a load of clothes or turn the dishwasher on to provide a little noise so I can drift off to sleep. I used to have a fan on by my bed for the noise but he took that away from me...he said I was freezing him to death.

Anyway, all of that rambling really has nothing to do with what I wanted to talk about tonight...I go off on tangents rather easily! I wanted to ask you if you have ever seen Twilight Zone The Movie. It is an older movie but one of my favorites. I had not seen it in quite some time and I just watched it on tv tonight...actually this morning at about 4am or so. One of the stories in the movie is about a group of Senior Citizens sitting around and chatting about their days as children. They started discussing the fun games they played and wished they could go back to those days. Of course, they enter The Twilight Zone at that point, and they are children again running around playing games. Whoever cast those children in the movie did an amazing job for they are the perfect counter part of the Senior roles! Anyway, it does not take them long until they realize, they do not really want to be children again. They choose to go back to their nice warm beds in their old worn-out bodies but they return with Fresh Young Minds. Don't you just love that thought?!

Happy Scrappin!

Scrapping Today

There are so many other things I should be doing today on my 10th Wedding Anniversary but Hubby had to work, and I have so many pretties that I purchased on National Scrapbooking Day-well, I just want to play!!! And I want to remind you that today is the last day to grab Rina's NSD Grabbag at the incredibly low price of $2.95. This Grabbag is so huge-it is one that just can not be missed! I made the following layout for Rina's Scripture Challenge with the Joyful Awakening Stacked Papers which is just one of the hidden beauties in this bag! I made the next page for the SBE-Layout Inspiration Challenge . It is inspired by Tomorrows and Yesterdays by Danessa . I used Rina's Secrets in The Attic Page set and the In Memoriam Element Set by Kimberly Stewart and Rina Kroes. It is a heritage page for the album I am working on for the Phelps Family Reunion. This next page was made for Build A Fairy Treehouse Challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps. For this challenge...

Hump Day with Teen Tude

Wednesday is Hump Day:and we are half-way through the week.  We here in the USA are looking forward to a big holiday weekend, the 4th of July!  I am sure my sons will take their kids to one of the fireworks shows in the area, and we always have a family cook-out at my brothers house.  I still have to try to get my stuff together for the big yard sale my DILs are having on Saturday.  But today, my husband and a few of his friends are meeting here to finish putting up the big 100 ft CB antennae tower for his "Bull Creek Sub-Station!  He loves to talk and there is always a listening audience for his foolishness on the CB.  That is about the only hobby he has, lol! For me, my love of digi-scrapping led me last night to double-check and finish some of the photo books I have to make sure they are ready for printing.  I added a couple of slide shows from these projects over on the right side of my blog so I hope you take the time to peek at them.  I ca...

Anchors Aweigh

In 1906, Bandmaster Lieutenant Zimmerman was approached by Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart Miles with a request for a new march or fight song. Midshipman Miles was a member of the Naval Academy class of 1907. Miles and his classmates were eager "to have a piece of music that would be inspiring, one with a swing to it so it could be used as a football marching song, and one that would live forever." The two men reportedly worked out the tune and it was first called "Stand Navy Down The Field". "Aweigh", meaning to raise or hoist, comes from the nautical phrase "to weigh anchor". The current lyrics, as revised by George D. Lottman, were adopted in the 1920s, and it is now recognized as the U.S. NAVY Anthem. "Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry; We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y. Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray! Anchors Aweigh...
