It's Lego World (Seriously).
Yes, it's a store dedicated to Legos. I'm not kidding. This place has anything Lego. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, you name it. The displays they had were amazing!
Yes, key chains. But they don't come apart, unfortunately.
Little Lego people.
Lego butterflies.
Cupboards full of Legos. And those are only part of the wall the cupboards cover!
A station where you can make your own Lego person.
One of the many awesome Lego displays.
The Lego logo (ha ha, look, it rhymes!).
So yes, it was a fun store. We didn't even know it was around until Parker saw someone walk past with the bag that said 'Lego' on it.
What could be better? A huge Lego.
Yes, key chains. But they don't come apart, unfortunately.

The Waltons: A Family Poor Financially, But Rich In Love
To me, I think the Waltons is a family worth modeling after. They make do with what they have, and they don't complain about what things they don't have. When they run into a little trouble, they always manage to get by. When the electricity gets turned off, Grandpa Walton goes off to town to pay the bills, even at the price of Grandma getting upset because he left without bringing home the candles (and going with the Baldwin sisters, too!). But in the end, everything turns out alright. No one's mad at each other anymore, everyone's happy.
They don't refuse help to one who needs a warm bed and good food. From a penniless actress to a wandering musician. Even when they barely have enough to feed a family of eleven, they always manage to squeeze in one more for supper.
Back then, in the Depression, times were rough. Odds are a lot of people developed short tempers and got irritated quickly. But even when those tempers rose, the love felt for each other never died. They kept their trust in each other and helped each other through thick and thin.
You don't normally see families like them, huh? Willing to help a stranger in need, patiently helping a sibling over a fault. Helping parents make ends meet. That's a family with strong affections for each other and for people outside their house.
(Did I mention that it's an awesome show, too?)

Life According To.....
.....Cornbread. Can life get any better?!
~~~
......my dad. When everything in this old house just has to break down.
(And yes, I know it's just the oven door, but you get my point.
Alright fine, the oven door just had a crack in it and we had to replace it. But still!)
~~~
~~~
And just for fun. This is what Cornbread is subjected to when she just doesn't care.

Beauty Rarely Found.
You don't see girls wearing dresses like these nowadays. They're so pretty, and goodness knows they're comfortable, too! They're modest, feminine, and just all-out beautiful.

Stories To Be Told.
My siblings and I have just gotten back from our grandparents' house, visiting with our cousins, who came down from Minnesota. It was really nice to see them all again, to just talk and hang out.
It's always fun to visit with family or friends that come back from a different state (if only for a few days). All the stories to be told, to laugh over. Bits of news to tell, fun stuff to do on a laptop (always great times there), and just enjoying being with them. Makes an awesome party, and even better memories.

Outdoor Beauty.
I took these photos last evening. It was pretty fun, too.
One of the kittens. Isn't he absolutely adorable?!
Ella and Isaac on bikes.

Peek-A-Boo. My rabbit.
Abby and a basketball.
A little bitty gnome.
A green sea of beans.

I found this in our cellar (not the one in the back) when we cleaned it out.
It's Grandpa Walton jug (from the Waltons episodes)!
Just picture it, Grandpa Walton swinging it over his arm and drinking whiskey,
while Grandma walks past. ^^
You've no idea how fun it was trying to take
this one while not looking at it.
