D is for.....

Well today is going to be a hurried post since I have been gone all morning doing our volunteering and now we are waiting for grandma to visit. :0)

D....I did have as hard of a time with this one and like before the kiddos gave me a couple of words.

Dangerous: my son says I am dangerous with driving, can shoot many guns...hes 14.

Delightful: from my delightful daughter

Daisys: I love them! Like the movie You've Got Mail, daisys are the friendliest flower.

Dabble: I like to dabble in everything and learn all I can. I am a jack of all trades master of none.

Decisive: I am not a wishy washy person, I make a decision and follow thru I also am Dependable when asked to do something I do it to the best of my ability and expect those around to as well.

Dimple: I have two on my cheeks but not by chin.

Drive: I love to drive everything. I would love to drive anything and everything at least once. I used to drive a school bus and was very good at it.

Domestic: I love being a housewife and mom. Working outside the home stinks in my estimation and is definatly not for me.

Duffer: in the dictionary it said this means a person you can't golf. That is me I would love to though but never have. And I would get to drive the gold cart.

Dutch Oven: cooking in them is fun and I have 2 antique ones we use alot in the winter.

Hope your day is a blessed one...

Love,

Erika

For more D's

Thomas Jefferson’s 10 Rules to Live by:
1. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have earned it.
4. Never buy what you don’t want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
8. How much pain the evils have cost us that never happened.
9. Take things always by the smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.

Ben Franklin’s 13 Virtues
1. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
6. INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.
11.TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
12. CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
