Greetings from the long absent peoples!

Good day, readers of this blog!
I was going to post and put some pictures on that I've taken, but then I realized that I don't have them on my computer; I downloaded them to the family computer when we were home for Thanksgiving break, but didn't put them on mine because my computer doesn't like to store very many pictures... At any rate, a long explanation to say that I don't have any interesting pictures!  Except for these first three that were taken way back in September.

Pictures on the wall beside my bed

Patty's desk

My desk.  (Ooo, I must not have made my bed very nicely that morning, the quilt is all crooked!  Ick.)

Yup... this is the only kind of pictures I have on my computer currently.  Try to guess which herbicide is causing these soybeans to die!

Try to guess.... Oh wait, nevermind, this is a picture of one of the identified flats, not one of the unknowns.

And this is a picture from last summer.  It's evidently been on this blog before but I liked it.  Thus, it gets repeated!

Well, that was certainly an interesting post, was it not???  I was wanting to post some pictures of one of the football games that we went to, but as I said before, those pictures are not accessible to me at the present moment of time.  Perhaps you shall be treated to more pictures at a later date of time!
Patty and I have been studiously studying the whole semester, but only two more weeks until Christmas break!  We are very excited and greatly looking forward to five whole weeks of no classes! ... And you should be excited, as well, because perhaps this blog will finally get some attention again for a little while!
But, for now, that is all...

Have a wonderful day, and may God bless you richly!

Pictures and Words

All right.  As promised, I am back with some pictures.  I didn't get ones like I wanted yet, but here is what I did get.

And then my camera decided to run out of battery after taking some really blurry pictures.  Oops.  Good thing we have a battery charger!
Oh yeah, I was supposed to put some "words" in along with the pictures.  Well, Patty and I have been at college since the 18th, so that kind of explains the silence on this blog.  We've been occupied studying and whatnot.  And on Saturdays we've been helping park cars for football games(which, by the way, K-State has won both of!  The first one 51-9 vs. Missouri State, and yesterday we creamed Miami 52-13!). 
The most exciting thing to study for is Weed Science.  Coming up with stories to remember the scientific names of weeds is great fun.  Like wild buckwheat is Polygonum convolvulus(I can't even remember what exactly our story was for that), field bindweed is Convolvulous arvenvis(it sends you into convulsions because it's so awful)... and I could go on with 30 more weeds that we've learned so far, but I'll spare you.
I don't quite know what to say and what not to say on this here blog.  How about you comment and tell us what you would like to hear about?
Have a lovely day/week/month/however long it is before someone posts on this blog again!

Finally!

Dear readers, (hehe)
I am most incredibly sorry for the lengthy absence that both of the administrators of this blog have taken from their duties. 

I like this picture(oops, I probably shouldn't say that since I took it...), so I'm posting it.  Ooooo... it makes me miss my dear lil' corn fields!  *sob*  And it reminds me, I haven't taken any pictures since we've been up at K-State!  I miss taking pictures.  This is inspiring me to go out and take some pictures.  Then I would actually have something to post instead of trying to come up with words to say!  I think I shall!
Okay.  That does it.  I am going to go take some pictures, and hopefully remember to come back and post them along with some info as to what we have been doing in the month (!) since we've posted!
Sincerely,
Josie

Stories from Days Gone By

All righty, well, a few months ago I was skimming through all of my old journals trying to find some interesting stories or anything to post about here on our blogs. And I surprisingly did find a few things that are worthy of posting. So, here are a few stories from a few years ago...(and I'm just gonna type 'em straight from my journal, how they were written then).

"February 25, 2009-- After supper we were talking about Camp Salvation, and Dandi told us some funny camp stories! One especially funny one was once when she was at camp, they had just finished eating supper or something and some of the campers were going back to their cabins, but Dandi and some of her friends were near the cafeteria, and well these boys were going back to their cabin, and all of a sudden they started screaming and yelling (boys screaming! =O My goodness, that's unusual! And Dandi said they sounded like girls! Haha!), and they were yelling, "Bear! There's a bear!" or something. And then one of the guys had a gun and he came out with the gun pointing forward and said, "Where's the bear?"  hahaha! It was just really funny when she told it! It doesn't sound as funny on paper, but it really is humorous! She told more camp stories too, but I'm not going to write them down."

July 18, 2009-- Pa just told us a funny story about when he was younger! I really like hearing stories! I wish Pa and Ma told them more often though! But anyway, when Pa was about 6 or 7 years old, he got bit by a dog. Well, first of all, they (Pa and his family) were getting ready to go to Liberal (they lived in Meade, KS), and the dogs were eating or something, and Pa had one of those things that you blow on and this thing pops out. And he went up to one of the dogs and blew it right in the dog's ear, and the dog immediately bit Pa on the ear! And so they were late getting to Liberal. But the funny part was that Pa blew the thing in the dog's ear! Haha! That is very amusing! See, Pa did things like that when he was younger to, just like we do! So that is where we got it obviously!"

July 18, 2009-- I practiced for a few minutes on the 13th, and while practicing, I fell off of my chair! Backwards! How it happened is, I got a bit frustrated, because my violin wasn't playing how I wanted it to, and leaned back in my chair (forgetting that I was sitting in a chair with no back on it!) and all of a sudden, I started falling backwards, and fell completely out of the chair...with my violin still in my hand. But thankfully I was able to shelter my violin, and it didn't hit the floor. It was fine. I was fine too, it was actually kinda fun! Funny too! Falling backwards out of your chair is quite exciting actually! You might try it sometime...though I wouldn't advise doing it when you have your instrument."

And someday I will post some more interesting things...about "Best Excuses for Getting Caught Sleeping in Class" and other random things like that. But that's it for now! I've got books that need to be read!

Have a good and godly day rejoicing in the Lord! =) He is our strength and song!
