Tony, you need both a security system and the guns. You know you gotta have someone there to pick up what's left of whoever is dumb enough to break in while you and Vivian are home! Security foks can have 'em in route while the two of you take care of business. Eh?
Diane, I've got some "behaviour modification" techniques I'd be willing to share with the mother of that three year old. We'd modify adult behaviour first! Kids just don't pick that up from TV alone. (Experience speaking here. My kids heard/hear all kinds of thing on TV and from certain adult relatives who shall remain nameless, but they would never use that kind of language to an adult. Aweful, dire things happen to little children in my house who even think about it)
Diane, my room really isn't anything special this year. I've done much better in years past. It is totally different than what I had planned. The "campsite" consists of paper trees and picnic table taped to the walls and a "campfire" also made of paper.
My room is a big room that has a bunch doors leading into other smaller rooms that we're not going to be using. So I decided that five doors made five destinations. (there are actually more doors than five but it's hard to explain)
Between two doors on one end of the room is the Washington monument(slightly crooked) soon to be surrounded by other landmarks printed off the internet. Chicago is represented on the next wall past the door in the corner, by a huge baseball. It also has nice selection of Chicago landmark pics.
The next door (in the middle, how convenient) is Lebanon KS. Not many pics there but I intend to add some general pics of Kansas Sunday. Yellowstone had lots to choose from so it's door is nicely covered. I'm still working on the Knott's Berry Farm door which is on the first door of the third wall. They had a nice map on the internet of the park, but I need T to show me how to blow it up bigger(much bigger).
The other corner of third wall where it meets the fourth wall is the campsite. The fourth wall is unbroken except for bulliten boards. One board is very long and is our RV.
My Precious and two of her friends made and/or hung at least 2/3 of this. Even though the room still looks bare I'm not doing much else. The turmoil over our preacher's dismissal/resignation is showing up everywhere. I was supposed to be taking a year off from VBS this year and my heart really isn't in it. But we are sooo shorthanded that I just couldn't not teach when asked. I hope the Lord blesses tired, almost burned out giving. If it wasn't for the girls we wouldn't have the decorations we have.
Hopefully, I'll fill in the blank spots Sunday afternoon. If it does turn out to be something I don't mind the world seeing and I can figure out how to download the camera, maybe I can email you some pics. I'm just not technically oriented.
Well ya'll've had my missive for the night. See ya tomorrow.
