My phone is broken

Just wanted to let Adam know in case he tried to call and couldn't get through to me...

Below are some shots from a recent Swisher family reunion...

...Just kidding. My phone wasn't broken. Adam can stop worrying now.

Besides Ruth Colvin and YouTube, etc what's actually going on with the Parks?

Hey Guys. It's been a busy summer for sure. After clearing out my ((18)) voice mail messages OMG! I felt really horrible to know that you guys tried to reach us when you needed us. We've been gone every weekend. Next weekend we will be in Watkins Glen for 4 days with friends. Adam is serving on a Grand Jury for 5 weeks, and is on his third week now. Brianna starts Kindergarden next week, and Jacob Pre-school on the 11th. It's just crazy isn't it? Hmmm, I'm glad you tested your phone out. Now maybe we need to check ours huh? Smiles and miss you bad! Love, Jen; August 28, 2007 at 12:27 PM

The Serenity Prayer

From the inspired Friendship poem ' If ' - by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream and not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same: If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools

What Bree and Jake Have Learned

Breathe in Breathe out By Joan Fleitas, Ed.D., R.N. Today I wheezed, today I sneezed, today I learned a lesson. That breathing in and out each day is really quite a blessing. Some tubes connect my mouth to my lungs, And at times they swell up like balloons. And when they do, the air squeeks through, so my breathing appears out of tune. This swelling occurs when I pat the dog, or run out in the cold. When grass is cut, or leaves are raked, or when there's lots of mold. I’m absent when the tubes swell tight. Some say I'm playing hooky, but when breathing is a struggle, I can't even eat a cookie. I've learned what I've got is called asthma. It's a good thing for me that I'm bright. I test my breathing at the start of each day, and avoid things that make the tubes tight. The dog sleeps in the basement. I keep my stuffed toys clean. No one's allowed to smoke inside, hope you don't think that's mean. Sometimes no matter what I do the tubes swell anyhow, but I have tricks tucked up my sleeve. I'll share some with you now. I puff special medicine into my mouth with a nebulizer gadget. It works to open up the tubes. It really is like magic. Before I play some basketball or run out in the rain, I puff a different medicine. Then I can join the game. I don't eat many junk foods, and I try hard not to whine. These tricks help me stay healthy, So most times I'm just fine. If breathing in and breathing out a zillion times each day, is something you do without thinking a thought, thank God for this gift when you pray.

It's a bloody mess, but we are happy !

A Recipe for Mothers--- Today I left some dishes dirty. The bed I made at 3:30. The nappies soaked a little longer. The odor grew a little stronger. The crumbs I spilt the day before are staring at me from the floor. The fingerprints there on the wall will likely still be there next fall. The dirty streaks on the window panes will still be there next time it rains. "Shame on you, old lazy bones," I say... "And just what have you done today!" I nursed a baby till he slept. I held a toddler while he wept. I played a game of hide and seek. I squeezed a toy so it would squeak. I pulled a wagon, sang a song. Taught a child right from wrong. What did I do this whole day through? Not much that it shows, I guess it's true. Unless you think that what I've done might be important to someone. With bright blue eyes and soft blond hair. If that is true, I've done my share. © 1996 Wide Smiles
