STAY SHARP.NO MATTER WHAT. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. 8220;Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.”. ANYWAYS, it started around Christmas-time 2008. We were having a conversation with some friends of ours about houses. They had been considering buying one, and we were listening intently, very excited for them and not at all thinking about buying one ourselves. And then I had a crazy thought (apparently I have them often? 8211; what if we could buy a house? We also have an excel...

Two Sharp Smiths: Christmas 09
http://twosharpsmiths.blogspot.com/2010/01/christmas-09.html
STAY SHARP.NO MATTER WHAT. Saturday, January 02, 2010. This year was a wonderful Christmas! For starters, we had snow on the ground, which almost never happens. Nevermind it rained Christmas night and washed it all away. Don't ruin my glee. On Christmas Eve day, there arose a game of Speed Circuit. What is Speed Circuit you ask? I would still like to know. And here is Meg hiding on the floor next to me with the Onion Pretzels. She is one smart cookie. Grandma McNeill and Cyndi. And here is Donut Haven.

Two Sharp Smiths: Part 1 – Cleaning and Organization
http://twosharpsmiths.blogspot.com/2010/01/part-1-cleaning-and-organization.html
STAY SHARP.NO MATTER WHAT. Monday, January 04, 2010. Part 1 – Cleaning and Organization. So, with the New Year comes resolutions. I am not good at keeping resolutions. So normally I skip this whole process. However, this year is different. Why? Because I find myself in a place where I NEED to make a change. Or else we will disappear under the piles and piles of laundry and dishes and dust bunnies and tossed-aside-pistachio-shells, NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN! So, why do I need I need a cleaning schedule?

Two Sharp Smiths: Why Merging Never Works
http://twosharpsmiths.blogspot.com/2009/12/why-merging-never-works.html
STAY SHARP.NO MATTER WHAT. Wednesday, December 16, 2009. Why Merging Never Works. So, I've given this some considerable thought (pretty much every morning at 8:45 for the past year and a half), and I've decided I know why merging never works smoothly. Firstly, let me just say that I understand it is a necessary evil. Without it, we'd end up with highways the size of Canada. However, they have overlooked one crucial fact:. People are selfish and always in a hurry. Especially at 8:45 in the morning. These ...

http://czarnews.blogspot.com/2009/01/august.html
A peak into the life of a Czar! Friday, January 16, 2009. The month started out with the girls visiting Nanna and Grandpa Rink in West Va. They worked with Nanna @ her quilt shop. Next, there was Shakespeare camp for the girls at Covenant Life. The middle schoolers learned and performed. The high schoolers learned and performed. Both girls had small parts in each of the shows. Great performances at the end of the week. Emily playing a boy. Rachel with friends afterwards. Waiting for the parade to start.
