My 10 yo son experienced his first rusty nail yesterday. In
the doctor's office he ran circles, paced, jumped up and down,
squeezed the goop out of the hand sanitizer, danced, ran the water in
the water fountain, flipped the light switches all the while asking
"Mom, why does the air in my lungs come out like this".... displays the
air coming out of his lungs...."Mom, why do the cords on my neck look
like this when I do this".. displays the cords on his neck...you get
the picture... for nearly an hour while we waited for.... THE NEEDLE.
And when it went in, he looked at me and said "MOM, THAT DIDN'T EVEN HURT!"
His mother went home and had a very strong Bahama Mama.

Civil War
The kids are in bed, dh is working and the house is quiet. I love scrapbooking during this time. A friend and I are visiting a new fabric store in the morning so I should get to bed but it's sooo nice and quiet right now.
I'm honoring my great, great grandfather James Monroe. James fought in the Civil War from start to finish. He enlisted on 6 Jul. 1861 in Company D, 4th Iowa Infantry. He fought in the battles of Chickasaw Bayou; Arkansas Post; First and Second battles of Jackson, Mississippi; Champion Hill; Siege of Vicksburg; Brandon, Mississippi; Chattanooga; Mission Ridge; In the Atlanta Campaign and in the battles of Jonesboro & Savannah. He was wounded in the head by a piece of shell at Chickasaw Bayou and was shot through the clothing at Vicksburg. Honorably Discharged at Davenport, Iowa 6 Aug. 1865.
I'm off to bed now... thanks for visiting!
