Day 43

I am through with my ten tasks for the day and it did not seem to take me too long. Monday's and Tuesday's are my longest days so I have to think quickly so I can get my ten things done in a reasonable amount of time .I am getting closer to being half way to my goal.

Today I practiced my Spanish and piano. I am still reading my books and working on algebra. Today  I came across another critical thinking question and I decided thinking was not that critical today so I skipped it and moved on to the next exercise.I finished my other earring today.I Did some organizing in my office, bedroom, and laundry room. Last but not least I went to the garage and came up with some wood for part of my birdhouse. I wonder who created the very first bird house. I will have to look into it and find out some time. It is a little like a Cuckoo clock and the Cuckoo clock was supposedly invented in the beginning of the 18th century in the Black Forest in Germany.

When we were kids we would go back to Kansas during the summer for a few weeks and visit our relatives.I remember my great grandmothers Cuckoo clock in the living room. It would be too hot to go outside and I would sit on the floor in front of the fan watching the huge flies land on the screen door and listening to that Cuckoo clock. There was not anything to do there. We killed time by catching Fire Flies once it started to get dark.

 There was an old school in Dresden that had been closed for a long time. It still had a playground so occasionally we walked down the dirt road with the tumble weeds rolling by to play down there. I remember  when we where walking by a wheat field Dad told me if you chewed a piece of wheat long enough it would turn into a piece of gum. I decided to give it a try . I think I must have chewed that thing for about an hour.It was terrible. I could not figure out why it would not work . I finally just shrugged my shoulders and decided to spit it out.

Our other relatives were in Oberlin, Kansas and that was a lot more enjoyable. We were not far from a swimming pool and I thought the brick road in part of the town was like the wizard of Oz. I remember going to a pharmacy down town and Mom bought me orange lip gloss. It tasted just like real oranges. I can still remember the smell of it. I enjoyed the lightening at night even though I was sure vampires were wandering around outside in the dark.The one thing I remember the most about Kansas has to be the cows. You could smell them for about twenty miles before you even got to them.Well , I look forward to my next ten things tomorrow.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it- he will be blessed in what he does.  JAMES 1:22-25
