"What were they thinking ?

"Chidi Ogbuta of Allen, Texas, poses with her husband, Innocent Ogbuta, on her wedding. To the left is a wedding cake in the likeness of the bride. She had a longtime fantasy of having a doll modeled after her. The cake fulfilled the bride’s dream, and took about a week to finish off."


**I'd like to know what this cost and I think we know who's going to get their way in this marriage !!

By the way...

I 've decided to start a photo blog!

Santa was very good to me and brought me this:

He also brought this 135 page instruction manual!
The instructions state:
Before operating this unit, please read this handbook thoroughly together with the "instruction manual" and the "cyber-shot step-up guide" and retain them for future reference.
Thank you, but I would like to take at least one photo before I'm too old and feeble to push the button!
so, I'm learning by trial and error!

The link will always be over in the right-hand column.
If you can stop over...check it out... and leave a comment!!

~ Show and Tell Friday ~

I found this old clipping from the local newspaper...the year in the top margin is 1944. I was reading the the radio listings for that day and and saw some titles that I remembered from my childhood....Dick Tracy, Perry mason, and then something caught my eye...


look in the third box in the left-hand column, first entry.....

THE GUIDING LIGHT!

Now, I've not been one to follow the soaps in recent years, but I remember my grandmother having lunch at 12:00 sharp so that she could listen to "her stories". Each one was 15 minutes long, "The Guiding Light" and "Search for Tomorrow". They were referred to as soaps because the were sponsored by Joy dish washing liquid and Spic and Span.

Here's some info about the series:
Guiding Light (known as The Guiding Light prior to 1975, ) is an Emmy award winning American television program credited by the Guinness Book of World Records as being the longest-running soap opera in production and the longest running drama in television history.

The 15,000th televised episode of Guiding Light aired on September 7, 2006. Due to this series run, it is not only considered to be the longest soap opera, but the longest series of any show created.
The program was created by soap writer Irna Phillips, and began as an NBC radio serial on January 25, 1937 before moving to CBS on June 30, 1952, as a televised serial. This program has survived for over 70 years!

This is almost overwhelming when you think about it...

Moses and the people were in the desert ~but what was he going to do with them?

They had to be fed and feeding 2 or 3 million people requires a lot of food.
According to the quartermaster General of the Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have 1,500 tons of food each day.

Do you know ... to bring that much food each day, two freight trains, each at least a mile long would be required!

Remember, they were out in the desert, so they would have to have firewood to cook the food. This would take 4,000 tons of firewood each day.

And just think....they were 40 years in transit!

They would have to have water. If they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes, it would take 11,000,000 gallons each day.

And then another thing...

They had to get across the Red Sea at night. If they went on a narrow path, double file, the line would be 800 miles long and would require 35 days and nights getting through. So there had to be a space in the Red Sea, 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5000 abreast, to get over in one night!

But then, there is another problem....each time they camped at the end of the day, a campground two-thirds the size of the state of Rhode Island was required, or a total of 750 square miles long...think of it!

Do you think Moses figured all this out before he left Egypt?...I think not!

You see...Moses believed in God and God took care of these things for him.

Now do you think God has any problem taking care of all your needs???
