Who doesn't love Jane Austen? She's Awesome Austen.
This is the character I am most like according to the quiz.
Give it a shot. It's fun.
And this is who L- is. I am secretly jealous.

She Had a Birthday, Shout Hurray!
It was J's- B-day. It was wonderful to celebrate her day with her. We had meatloaf, one of her favorite things. And G- went in search of her favorite cake. He went to 2 stores to find it! What a good man.
J- is hard working. She teaches voice lessons at our house. It is fun to hear her teaching techniques and to hear how she works with her students. Sometimes we clap and cheer from the kitchen when one of her students does exceptionally well. We can even tell that the kids are improving.

We love our girl she is fun loving, sensitive, caring and her testimony is strong. She is an excellent speaker. I asked her to speak at my Young Women's New Beginnings program and her talk far surpassed my expectations. I was so proud of her.
This summer she will be the female lead in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. N- and L- have parts in the show as well. It will be fun to watch them all !

Dinner at fancy Restaraunt: $150
Dinner served by these cute girls:
Dinner served by these cute girls:
Priceless
Saturday night we were considering grabbing a bite to eat someplace when I walked into the house to find the table set nicely. Even the silverware was wrapped in napkins. I soon found out these girls had other plans for us. . . Big plans.
Saturday night we were considering grabbing a bite to eat someplace when I walked into the house to find the table set nicely. Even the silverware was wrapped in napkins. I soon found out these girls had other plans for us. . . Big plans.
We were told to go outside, come to the front door and knock. After we knocked we were greeted and asked to sign our name to the long waiting list. Surprisingly, the wait was not long. We saw this sign as we were being seated.
We were given a menu complete with prices. We were also supplied with play money to pay for our dinner.
Click on the picture to see their great prices.
The girls told us they would be our servers and they would get us anything we needed. They took our orders on a notepad and got our dinners dished up. They promptly served us our dinner and drinks.
K- takes her work seriously.
We were served a beautiful steak, yummy corn, delicious fruit salad mixed with yogurt and an ample green salad. When G-asked for more salad, he was told "no," of course.
We enjoyed our meal complete with soft music.
At the end, I left a tip. My bill was added up on the cash register and I payed up! Then I left, feeling full and satisfied. We can whole heartedly recomend the service, the food and the wonderful feeling of being a part of the beautiful evening planned by these two cuties.
Thank you girls, We loved it!

New Preamble to the Constitution
I did not write the following but it does have some food for thought.
NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION
The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day...
"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one is my pet peeve...get an education and go to work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair, sniff the gas chamber, swing from the gallows, or take it in the vein!!
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (Lastly...)
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!
If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States speak out because if you do not, who will?

Hoppy Easter
The two couples came to spend the night with us. But the Easter Bunny still managed to find everyone even though he got some of the baskets mixed up.
Then the hunt was on. We had a couple of volunteers hide the eggs for us and then everyone else went out to do the hunting.
Check out J and N's new camera. It is really nice. We expect to see some great pictures on your blog soon.
This egg took some teamwork to get it up there. It was great!
