This is a deductive reasoning example that Mike had in his math class. Figure it out and post your comments.

Crafting question

Okay all you fellow crafters,

I need to get a fabric pen. I want to write on some fabric crafts I am doing and I don't want messing looking puff paint or something that looks like I just took a permanent black pen to it.

Can you recommend a nice looking fabric pen/marker?

To post or not to post?

So, another week and weekend have come and gone.  

Conference was amazing this weekend.  It was fun to spend it with friends.  We got a lot of quilting done too!

Nothing much to say but I figured I should write something so the few people that read this don't stop cause I haven't updated!

This week I see myself taking a self defense class with the young men and young women and celebrating my birthday!!  Here is a shout out to my brother who decided he wanted to share the womb and a birthday with me too!!  I love you Darc.

Hey good lookin', whatcha got cookin'?

I love cooking with my husband.

Thank you to mom and dad Lawlor for what you have taught him.

He usually makes french toast for breakfast on the weekends. Today we had eggs and cheese whiz on toast. We usually have it on bagels but we only have cinnamon raisins bagels and I vetoed the decision to have my egg and whiz on that!

Mike's specialties are taco soup, Red Lobster biscuits and no bake cookies. He can also make puffed wheat squares. I know that may sound silly because they are easy but for some reason mine don't turn out! If you want puffed wheat squares from us, ask Mike to make them! I can do it, but they just don't stick together. Am I not boiling it long enough?

He can make more than was mentioned above but those are the ones he makes on a regular basis.

Today we made shepherd's pie and boy was it tasty.

Where did you come from?

I feel that part of the reason that I am in Saskatoon is to do genealogy. I know it may sound funny but my amazing aunt, genealogy wonder woman, has done A LOT of work on my families genealogy. But, she seems to be getting stuck on the Andres (or Andreas) line. Most of my families history on my Dad's side is Mennonite who came from Russia and settled in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. She said that the line just stops and she can't get any more information than what she has. She thinks they moved to Mexico, as many Mennonite families did, and settled in a place called Chihuahua.

I went to the genealogy library at my church today to see what I could do. I looked in my notebook and noticed that I wrote down the date when I started working on it and it was March 5, 2008....only a few days over a year! Kind of funny.

Mike and I went to Hague over a year ago to find the tombstone of an ancestor that is listed in my book as being buried in Hague. But we didn't find anything. I have looked online and have been able to verify some information that my aunt found. That was cool. I can't imagine what it will feel like when I find information that we didn't know at all.

I love the feeling I get when I am in the genealogy library. It feels so neat to be there. I know I can look at home but there is something there that makes me feel energized. Yah, energy, that is the word I am looking for.

My goal is to go on Saturdays at least once a month or every couple of months and maybe change it up to Thursday nights once spring comes and the library is open later.

Wish me luck.
