I can never find the book I'm looking for, but I remember colors. Very visual here too. I can't tell you street names or the names of anything I buy in the store. But I can tell you what store to turn next to or what color and shape the bottle I'm buying in the grocery store. It makes sense to me!Gracie Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04926917406547565732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29520568901907171.post-6000836744134297902010-11-10T17:03:49.058-06:002010-11-10T17:03:49.058-06:00I love that you arrange by color.

Nobody but me can figure out my system though... I'll have to try your trick for my kids' shelves!Colleen @ The Busy Beanhttp://www.thebusybean.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29520568901907171.post-25724903021348456102010-11-06T22:15:26.817-05:002010-11-06T22:15:26.817-05:00I know! My Papaw is such a blessing to me!!
Erin...I know! My Papaw is such a blessing to me!! <br /><br />Erin, you can "stalk" my blog anytime. I'm convinced (based on what you and Tob have said) that we'd be great friends if you lived closer. Any chance that you'll move this way? Our winters are much milder than yours!! <br /><br />And I will give Tob a hug from you when I see her again. I'm hoping she'll make it to the Ladies Firepit Night this weekend. She has a tough life right now...<br /><br />Oh, and I'm glad you enjoyed the Sock and Glove book. Isn't it fabulous? :DWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399663278970048427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29520568901907171.post-3905069175043879452010-11-06T18:24:54.223-05:002010-11-06T18:24:54.223-05:00Oh, I love that your grandfather is teaching them!...Oh, I love that your grandfather is teaching them!

It was perfect timing. (Thanks God.) What I thought was going to be a morning project turned into an all day project. But we do have an elephant and a zebra (actually it turned into a donkey) to show for it. My boys are hoping to finish their monkey and dog friends this weekend. Thank you for posting about that project...it was one that I was excited to try :)<br /><br />I read Anne of Green Gables to my kids this summer. It was great fun. My 4 yr. old didn't always want to listen, but he would just take his nap during that time. We then watched the movie at the end of the summer. It was fun to hear my kids talk about how they liked the book better :) My oldest daughter then decided to keep reading the series for a homework assignment and has enjoyed it.<br /><br />I hope you have a nice weekend. And if you see my sis-in-law will you please give her a hug for me?<br /><br />Thanks ~ Erin RibbleErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994950426692598662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29520568901907171.post-21836045141384305002010-11-05T17:31:08.571-05:002010-11-05T17:31:08.571-05:00http://billandminnieburnside.blogspot.com/2010/10/...http://billandminnieburnside.blogspot.com/2010/10/traveling-together.html<br /><br />Wendy said I should give you a link to our blog so here it is.

And the less I have to do for them."<br />Wendy, this is a very important principle that helps lead to maturity. And they in turn can help others and eventually teach others. "Each one teach one" is a time-honored principle that is based on 2 Tim. 2:2 "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."
