Worker Dudes

Funny, isn’t it–that from the time they’re little

to the time they’re big…

putting things together…

or taking them apart is such a big deal–like what they live for, almost.

They seem to have a “subdue the earth” thing going on from the start.

And I for one, am so glad that they do because whether it’s a wobbly wheel barrow or

tree bark that seems to need a good pounding, the fellows in my world do a ton of things that I’m happy to let them do.

In fact, a rugged three year old told me once that I was actually here on this earth “to make cookies.”

Good to know.

He, on the other hand was here to “move big stuff and kill all the bad guys.”

Oh, and my other job, he said was to watch him…

“and clap.”

What a deal.

What’s Right…

in the world this very minute.

My sister’s boy—Tim, home at last after 2 years in St. Petersburg, Russia.

{ Tell Them }

“We can begin to become more diligent and concerned at home by telling the people we love that we love them. Such expressions do not need to be flowery or lengthy. We simply should sincerely and frequently express love.”
-Elder David A. Bednar

I have a sweet friend over at Starshine Chic who wrote this really clever post about taking photos of simple things and turning them into art. Check it out, if you like, but come right back. :}

I was so intrigued by the idea that I just started snapping interesting pictures…you know…

of anything and everything…to see where it went.

Let me just warn you–if you try this, and you should, because it’s dang fun—

you may just find yourself looking at everything around you…

with an odd little tilt to your head…

and suddenly, the strangest things will begin to look like art…LETTER art. And all it takes is a bit of flipping and a little cropping to help everyone see things–the way you do.

See for yourself.

“F”

“A”

“M”

“I”

“L”

“Y”

What do you think? Cool–eh?

Try it–and be prepared to suddenly see things very differently.

Good luck!

I’m off to find a pretty little frame…and amaze people.

heh.
