The Fish Pocket Tote Bag is completed...and even though I made it with the best of intentions for a three-year-old boy, it looks like something...I might use. I guess using blue doesn't automatically make it boyish. Or does it? I've lost all objectivity at this point. We'll see what the verdict is when the guys come home.
Fish pocket tote bag-for my tiny sweetie. The striped fabric will be used for the lining.
As a child, I grew up eating steak. Yup. My dad used to cook one for each of us, and we would sit across the table from each other eating our steaks. When I found the Baha'i Faith, I read the writings about nutrition (see below) and liked the idea that we could live just fine on a vegetarian diet, but that meat was permissible if we felt we needed it. As I get older, I don't need to eat as much, and there are some things I can live without (except for steamed dumplings!). There are many quotations about eating in moderation and eating simple foods, which I wish I had followed earlier. I'm glad to be looking at it again, now. I'm putting in a quote about medical treatment, as well.
"Thou hast written regarding the four canine teeth in man, saying that these teeth, two in the upper jaw and two in the lower, are for the purpose of eating meat. Know thou that these four teeth are not created for meat-eating, although one can eat meat with them. All the teeth of man are made for eating fruit, cereals and vegetables. These four teeth, however, are designed for breaking hard shells, such as those of almonds. But eating meat is not forbidden or unlawful, nay, the point is this, that it is possible for man to live without eating meat and still be strong. Meat is nourishing and containeth the elements of herbs, seeds and fruits; therefore, sometimes it is essential for the sick and for the rehabilitation of health. There is no objection to the Law of God to the eating of meat if it is required. So if thy constitution is rather weak and thou findest meat useful, thou mayest eat it."
I am going to password-protect this blog soon. I know it makes it less likely that you will come back-too much trouble typing in passwords, but it's best. I knew it would happen. I have to say, I haven't had any problems at all-my readership consists of mostly women friends and family, but I was just watching a somewhat unrelated but related story on the news, and in this case, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, especially when it relates to tiny loved ones. In the last couple of weeks, I have put more pictures on, and it is for this reason that I am going to password protect the site. Thank you so much for reading.
Thanks, Eliana and Evan, for inviting us to play!
Post hike.
I can't tell you how happy we feel after spending time with friends at Garden Day. What an incredible feeling. This time, Suzanne brought a baby Ko Ko bird and a baby monitor lizard, and Else told a puppet-story that she wrote about the Ko Ko bird-it was a wonderful story, complete with super-hero cape and magic jumping boots!
Too much going on these days to blog-but here are some photos from our Father's Day hike. We went with some wonderful friends. Here they are at the top:
It was a fantastic hike down a muddy mountain to the ocean. We were the only ones on the beach, and we played, snorkeled, had a snack, watched the kids make shakers out of shells and tiny rocks, explored, and watched hubby and the kids make a boat out of twigs and a leaf. I'll never forget it. And just a note: coming down the hill, the three men fell, and I tumbled down a muddy slope, leaving nail marks about a foot long in the mud. I came with an arthritic bone spur on my left wrist, which I've had since July. After the tumble, my left wrist hurt, and the spur was gone. Where is it? I've no idea.
