Random Quotes

There's No Place Like HomeAmy, who is writing at Family on the Phone, tagged me for a meme about quotes.

My brain is sluggish from lack of sleep this past week – mainly from the new puppy.  Here’s a couple of my favorites that stay with me:

  1. Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest; Home-keeping hearts are happiest, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  Whole Song here.
  2. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  Romans 8:28
  3. A tent or a cottage, why should I care? They’re building a palace for me over there; Though exiled from home, yet still may I sing: All glory to God, I’m a child of the King. by Harriet E. Buell  All words here.
  4. The kiss of the sun for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth,
    One is nearer God’s heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth. ~Dorothy Frances Gurney, “Garden Thoughts”
  5. “I’m ready!  Where’s the bad guys?” from animated Robin Hood movie [Sorry for subject switch.  I had to throw that one in. :) ]

    My First Thursday Thirteen – Numbers

    September 6, 2007 By 13 Comments

    TT Trees

     This is my first stab at this so I’m just doing personal number facts.  Some of the people who participated really have some ingenious lists.  Click the TT graphic to find other participants.

    1. My 1st name is Jendi.  [Yes, it's pretty, thank you.  No, it's not short for anything.]
    2. We have 2 vehicles this year [Hooray!]; a Yukon XL and a Chevy Silverado.
    3. I am the third and last child in my family and have 3 children.
    4. My oldest child is 4 1/2; second child just turned 3 and the baby is 15 months.
    5. I can play 5 instruments fairly well – piano, organ, soprano recorder, melodica, and orchestra bells.
    6. Six – The number of books/magazines I read per week.  [Yes I'm a fast reader; and no, they're not deep philosophy.]
    7. Seven days of the week I wish I could sleep in; but alas, it does not happen for a SAHM.
    8. Eight minutes – the least amount of time I need for a shower. [but more time is better!]
    9. 9:00pm – my children’s bed time and a time I look forward to!
    10. In May I will celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary.
    11. Eleven - The approx. number of minutes I get to fix my hair and face every day.
    12. I could eat chocolate 12 times a day [or more] and not be sick of it.  [Maybe weigh too much, but not be sick of it.]
    13. I’m looking forward to making more than 13 online friends.
