Angie-isms
- * "I cannot wait until tomorrow to resume the NO SUGAR diet! Ingesting all of this junk has made my organs very unhappy!"
- * Said Angie, "If you don't buy that dress, I will cry!"
- * Said my co-worker, "My daughter is swimming in the state meet today." Said Angie, "Does she swim?"

There are days when you don't have a song in your heart...Sing anyway! ~Emory Austin
We need to share our light with others...
"In this world of darkness, we are given Light. Hope for all the dying. How will they know? How will they know that Jesus loves them and He died to save them? Carry the light. Carry the light."

Lake Geneva - 08/14/2009
God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars. ~Martin Luther
What I loved about Lake Geneva:
- - Spending the afternoon with my brother
- - the beach
- - the vintage bookstore that I made Bryan go in
- - the walking path by the lake
- - Parking...and watching Bryan get nervous because of the vintage car behind us. (Maybe it was because I told him I was going to SLAM on the gas so "Relax your neck!" And then laughing HYSTERICALLY!!!!)
- - Caribou Coffee
- - driving home and getting "lost"
Something chilly
A little something FABULOUS for our fun outting to Lake Geneva, WI
The Coffee Club
Gloria, Jackson, Angie, Kristin, Patti, Leah, and Lauren

I asked the vet once why Maggie sleeps like this...he said it's because she trusts me! Interesting...I thought only dogs slept on their backs.
