Late again!

Well, here it's April and I haven't blogged since January! Maybe I should just give this up, but I do enjoy it when I get a chance or think of something to talk about. My husband does a daily blog, but I just don't want to do that. Oh well.

What brought a subject to my mind this time is what happened yesterday afternoon. Carrie invited two of her friends to come over to "creek-walk". For the uninitiated, that means to literally walk in the creek! She and her friends get a big kick out of walking up and down the creeks on the property, so periodically they get together to do this. Amazingly, both of her friends seemed really excited to do this - as was Carrie! What??? No electronics, MP3 players, IPODS, etc?? Just three girls and nature? Can it be done???

Well, I'm here to tell you that it WAS done! Not only did I not see or hear ANY electronic devices (well, I did see a cell phone, but that was given to me for safekeeping, so we won't count it), but even when they got back to the house they didn't use them, play them, listen to them, etc. AMAZING!! And very heartening, too...they are finally past the Nintendo DS stage where they have to play every minute they're together...and even Carrie managed to lose her MP3 earphones for several enjoyable hours!

Not only did they enjoy nature and each other without the aid of electronic devices, but the girls Carrie invited were very polite and respectful! WOW! You sure don't see that every day! I'm proud that my daughter has great friends with whom she can have fun of the clean, wholesome kind.

I also appreciate the fact that my husband went with us to help make sure the girls were safe and sound. Thanks!

Good job, girls! Ya make me proud!!
