We Are Family

Put Them On

I know I've posted quite a few videos lately. I ran across this and found it incredibly eye opening. See what a difference it makes in your thinking next time you go out of your house.

President Heffernan

Doug Heffernan for President 2012.

Would'nt that be great!

Instead of the "share the wealth" jacked-up philosphy, he would encourage "share the laughter".

Wouldn't that be fun?

He would tell our enemies "Shuttie!"

Love it.

And Carrie as the First Lady...perfect.

You could hear her telling the people, "Freakin' get off your lazy butts and get a job!"

And Arthur. Let's see....well here, let's see what Wikipedia says about him:


Sarcastic, brash, and always scheming, Arthur lives in the basement of Doug and Carrie's house. Quick to take offense, he shouts frequently and often unnecessarily, and often comes up with absolutely absurd, irregular or illogical money-making scams.

Arthur frequently makes bizarre claims (for example, that he invented the moist towelette, and claiming that Charles M. Schulz based Charlie Brown on Arthur's life). He also steals change from Doug's nightstand.

Arthur is a steadfast socialist, and supporter of the communist nations around the world. In the episode "Steve Moscow" he claims that the Soviet Union was a "workers' paradise," and in the episode "Strike Out", he says that he was once enrolled at a socialist summer camp. In one episode, Arthur and Spence hatch a plan to invent and market a revolutionary new backpack. When Spence suggests that they outsource the labor to save money, Arthur reacts angrily, stating that "Unipack will be made in America, by good labor union workers!" When Doug goes on strike, Arthur almost kisses him out of pride, and when Doug takes a scab job at a school as a substitute teacher, Arthur grows disgusted with Doug, saying "Whatever helps you sleep at night you (rhymes with bouche)."

Along with the banning of Halloween, Arthur also attempts to ban a long list of other things from the Heffernans' house, including red pens, soft cheese, non-American VCRs (but not DVD players), mentioning Franklin D. Roosevelt's paralytic illness, and miniature Kit Kats.

Just thought I'd throw that in for some good chuckles. It always makes me feel better.

Wonderful!

This is such a wonderful new song. I was so touched by it.

Praising My Savior

In what seems like the such perilous times, HE gives me comfort. Thank you Jesus.

Blessed Assurance

Way Back When

As we were admiring his little brother on my blog, Mason exclaimed, "When I was a little boy, I was on the P-quter."

When HE was a little boy, says this four year old.

And I LOVE how kids say computer. Rachel and Alec always called it a "puter".

There Mason, you are now on my P-quter, spaghetti stain around the mouth and all.

Greenfield Village

Alec and I went to Greenfield Village on Halloween with his school. Not only was the weather nice, but him and I "broke away" from our group, so it was just him and I. Let me tell ya, I thoroughly enjoyed that. Alec and I haven't spent that much quality time together in a long time.



Inside the "J.R. Jones General Store"




This store was originally on Dixie Hwy in Waterford.




Quaint little english style home.



Covered bridge and pond made for a great photo shot.



Edison's workshop.



View of the street in the village.



He got a mini harmonica in the gift shop.



We loved watching the glass blowing.
