Weather Pandemonium

Nah, our weather here is not really that extreme just thought I'd call it that way since that is what most people are describing it here...he he he.

Here's Joshua enjoying a little bit of the snow flurries yesterday.


Although yes, It has been pretty cold here in Oregon the last days. This morning we are at 23F but we're suppose to warm up to 37F over the weekend. So, we have been maximizing the use of our fireplace and mind you I do start the fire on my own now too. The first time I did it, I forgot to open the flue and so our house was pretty smoky for a while. I am better everytime, just need to take it easy on the use of newspaper to start the fire. Pat calls my fire, newspaper burning fireplace and not wood - he he he.



Joshua taking a little nap by the fireplace! Ah cozy!

Civics anyone?

Well as most of you know, I have been preparing for my upcoming citizenship interview. The interview would be mostly a civics test both written and oral. So, for those who might be interested on what type of questions they ask...here's a sample!

I'm hoping I do pass and become an American citizen finally!

Holy New Comet Batman!

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K

Snatched from the jaws of victory!

The Name

...courtesy of Mom.

"During Jesus' time, Jewish people had only a first name, not a last name. A person would be distinguished from others with the same name by identifying the town they lived in. So, Jesus became "Jesus of Nazareth."

If several men in Nazareth were named Jesus, they were further distinguished by identifying their father. Thus, Jesus would be called, "Jesus, son of Joseph".

The word "christ" is not part of Jesus' name.

"Anointed" was a title used for a person specially chosen and blessed by God. The aramaic word for "anointed" is messiah. The Greek word is christos.

Since the gospels were written in Greek, it is the Greek form that has come down to us" Jesus Christ ("Jesus the Anointed One")."

~Thanks for the insight Mom!

Worst... ice cream... ever.

You know you have a problem when a 4 year-old says "Dad, when I'm done with my ice cream, can I have a 'Go-Gurt'"? Me - "Uh, OK, let me know when you're done". The boy - "I'm done". He ate exactly one spoonful. The worst part about it that the ice cream ruined a few spoonfuls of our precious, hard to come by, supply of Sanders Hot Fudge. You could just hear the fudge complaining about the insult upon which it was perched atop.

You can bet the food ol' boys at "Breyer's Ice Cream" are going to get a letter from me on this one. Yoplait: 1 Unilever: 0! My sincere apoloies to the good people at Sanders for my wasting ~4 tbls of their delicious goo.
