Sincerely Yours, Rebeca Carpenter

At the close of the 19th century, the London Times asked several prominent writers of the day to submit essays on the subject, "What's Wrong with the World?"

Here's how one responded:

Dear Sirs:


I am.


Sincerely Yours,

Love of Life Luncheon this Saturday

Here is the invitation and the info. Please be in prayer for this event

Dog Photo Contest

I entered this picture in Pioneer Woman's Dog Photo Contest she is hosting right now. This is what I wrote about the picture:

Pogo was found by Uncle Charles on a cold rainy day matted, wet, and homeless, little did Uncle Charles know that Pogo was coming home.

If Pioneer Woman does not like this picture, I already know someone who does.... and well that's all that matters :)

Plump

This morning as I was looking at myself in the mirror Seth started to say, "Mami, you look a little bit fat." but before finishing his statement he continued "...I mean plump. You look a little bit plump."

I smiled at him and said, "Oh thank you Seth, plump does make it sound better."

We had read a book where they used the word plump and I told him that it was a nice way to say fat and that you should never tell someone that they are fat because it might hurt their feelings.

Looking the word up did actually make me feel a little better, check it out:
