Fail fast so...

I am thankful for Will's job-he has one and it's still paying bills-the necessary ones anyway. The thrift store is a great idea in the wrong time. Lots of people visit to drop off items, many say it's good to have a thrift shop in Idaho City (for those that need it-not them of course) some people browse and say oh how nice...most go to Boise instead. The store will be closed at the end of the month. It was a good try and Will and I had a good experience with working together on a project. "Fail fast so you may succeed sooner." seems to be our motto for this, and I don't mind the opportunity to learn and grow from mistakes. Thank goodness we don't have to try and live off the income from the shop.---perhaps we will try again in the spring, with a different project. I have enjoyed working with Will and his exactly, completely opposite viewpoints. We ended up laughing most of the time about how suprisingly "wrong" we thought the other was being. I look forward to having one less item on my too-full plate.

Happy Guy






















We are enjoying Andrew every day.

knitters unite!


We are lucky to have some fantastic homeshcool friends. Ruthie with red hair and her sister Hannah with blonde are teaching us knitting. We enjoy lunching together on wednesdays. Aren't they a good looking bunch?

Honesty

Saeli and Caprial were busy cleaning this morning (to earn extra money) Saeli was singing away in our bathroom so I went in to check as I was putting some laundry away and asked, " How are you doing Saeli?" She answered, " I'm cleaning Dad's side of the sink,....I'm Brave!" I laughed so hard She's a braver woman than I am. I let Dad clean his own. She earned a whopping 35cents for that little chore. Lots of little coins are very rewarding immediately after each little task.
