Ever heard of Griz? Sure…doesn’t everyone remember the quote from Jerimiah Johnson:
Old Mountain Man: “Can you skin griz?”
Jerimiah Johnson: “I can skin most anything”
<walk towards cabin>
OMM: “Now boy, are you sure you can skin griz”
JJ: “Just about as fast as you can find them”
OMM: Laughs head off
(Don’t get the reference? Check out this post for some clips from the movie I found on you tube.)
No, not that kind of griz….griz like in the picture below (click in to read more)
One of the blogs I have started reading is called a Yankee in Belgrade. Today they had this picture of this Serbian Tree House. I thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with everyone.

Ever need Sunday School Material? Are you a teacher and want to share your materia with someone? Check out the Sunday School Wiki. I can’t speak for their thology so be careful and make sure you read things first. But, it looks like a good idea and one whose time has come.
Found via this website.
I’d like one of these. That just looks uber cool. If I had the money, I’d buy it myself.
Logos is offering a new commentary of Matthew and Mark for free for a limited time. Don’t have the software? They have a free client you can download and use too. I don’t know aything about the quality of the commentary, so you’ll have to get it and make up your own mind…but the price can’t be beat.

This list may be expanded in the future, so check often:
Pumpkin (the canned kind)
French Fried Onions.
evaporated milk
[Updated 10-21-2008 18:23:36] Removed the following items:
Cranberry Sauce. No, not the expensive stuff…the cheap stuff. In a can. That comes out looking like the can.
Pecans
Pumpkin Pie Spice (made of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves). We know we can get cinnamon. We have nutmeg. We don’t know about the others.
Added:
allspice and cloves
evaporated milk
Lydia is getting so big, but one of her favorite treats from “home” is toddler puffs. They’re really beginner finger foods, but are so very tasty. We especially like Walmart Parent’s Choice Little Puffs (plus calcium) in any of the fruit flavors. Since Lydia can’t have any milk products, I am a big fan of the “plus calcium” part! They come in a pringles-type canister and remind me a lot of cereal :^) Just a thought in case anyone’s looking for ideas for Lydia!!
Maybe I’m weird, since I know you can get excellent chocolate here, but I am such a Hershey’s girl. Even when faced with plenty of fancy “designer” chocolates, I would 99% of the time rather have the plain old American stuff 🙂 I love regular Hershey’s Kisses and plain chocolate bars. On a side note, I also really like mini Reese’s cups, especially around Christmas…maybe because Mom always had them around the house then even though she can’t stand PB! I know Matt mentioned his preference for normal or even big cups, but that just means that if someone feels like sending minis sometime, I’ll have them all to myself…bwaa haa haa!!
