I Love Company

My house is clean, and it smells like fresh bread and warm apple pie!

There's nothing like having someone over for supper on a regular basis to keep you on your toes, but I absolutely love everything about it.

List seven random things about yourself:

1. I can't just clean my house. I have to CLEAN my house. This drives Johnny crazy. Straigtened up is not clean in my book.

2. I iron my bedding and any clothes that hang up. Kids clothes included.

3. I would rather be outside doing just about anything as opposed to inside doing what needs to be done. Housekeeping is not my forte. Probably due in part to #1.

4. I had Johnny rent a motel room so we could watch the Olympics ('cause we don't have our tv hooked up) and it just so happened that we picked the night that Michael Phelps set the world record. It was fun, but I'm still glad we don't have cable.

5. I love Spring and Summer, but can't stand the fact that most women walk around mostly naked.

6. I don't like the cold of winter, but it's so nice to see people covered up.

7. Fall is my most favorite season of all. I want a yard full of Autumn Glory Maple trees. They are gorgeous.

How was that for RANDOM!!

8 Wonderful Things About My Husband:

1. He is patient beyond words. Nothing EVER bothers him.

2. He loves me!! Even when I'm unlovable.

3. He is a wonderful daddy. The kids can't wait to see his truck pull in the drive.

4. He is a very handy man to have around. He is a jack-of-all-trades.

5. He is an exceptional friend.

6. He rarely ever sets his heart on something, so when he does I like to see him get it. We just bought some land that he really wanted as soon as he saw it, but he was more than willing to forget about it if it wasn't the Lord's will for us. I am so happy for him that we got it.

7. He loves to hunt, fish, ride horses... basically anything outdoors, but he will give all of that up to stay home and help me if I need him to.

8. And the most wonderful thing about my husband is... He's MINE! And I love him more than words can say.


There. I think that just about catches me all up on the memes I was tagged for. If you tagged me for one and I never did it, please leave it in my comments cause I am ready to update my blog more often.

It's not that there hasn't been anything going on around here to blog about, I just haven't had time.

I spent all day yesterday cleaning and ironing after being gone most of the week helping Johnny. Then last night we had a Fall Festival at our church that I had to bake two apples pies for. We ended up not getting home until about 10:00.

Today, Johnny wanted to go over to our land and get things cleaned up a little bit, so I spent most of the day on a tractor, bush-hogging while he cut down some trees.

Life has been non-stop around here, but maybe it will slow down for a little bit so we can catch our breath.

Good Night and God Bless.

Math Fun

Absolutely amazing!
Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321



Now, take a look at this...


101%



From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:



What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?


What equals 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


If:


H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%


And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%


But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%



THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:



L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
Get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
the way I did.

Have a nice day & God bless !!
