13 Things I’d Change if I Could

Posted by adamswife on March 12, 2008

Edition 9

1. The candidates for President of the United States –

I don’t know who I would choose, but none of the 3 who are currently running (4 if you count Ralph Nader).

2. My age — I’d like to be 35 for the rest of my life. That was a good year, I was happy, healthy, and about as prosperous as I ever need to be.

3. My husband’s age — Being 35 again wouldn’t be any fun if he weren’t there beside me.

4. TV programs — I’m really tired of realty programs, and sit-coms that don’t know the difference between funny and silly/stupid.

5. The weather — what more can I say?

6. My weight — I know, you’re thinking that’s something I could change. Well, I’m not so sure about that. If I could change it wouldn’t it be different?

7. The economy — There has to be a system that evens out the differences between the haves and the have-nots without destroying individual initiative.

8. People’s minds — This would come in handy so frequently, I can’t begin to imagine how much better life would be if people would just have the sense to agree with me.

9. My little brother — Just think about it.

10. The lack of compassion in the world.

11. The price of gas -- what a hero that would make me.

12. French fries -- I would take out the calories and make them a lot less prone to becoming soggy.

13. The size of my hips — I’d like just once in my life to have hips enough to hold up a pair of slacks or a skirt – I’m really tired of the constant tugging. And there was that time when I didn’t tug soon enough and I walked right out of my slip, or the time my slacks ended up around my ankles. Really!

Idaho’s Snake River

Posted by adamswife on March 12, 2008

I forget that not all my readers are familiar with Idaho and her beautiful Snake River.  If you’d like more information or pictures of the canyons, white water, and dams that are part of the Snake River Google “Idaho’s Snake River.”  And then read until your eyes bleed or until you’re totally bored whichever comes first.  I have spent most of my life along the Snake and sometimes forget that She is not as familiar to others as she is to me.  You might want to start here.

Wordless Wednesday #8

First let me say I slept well last night and I’m feeling much better.  Well enough to take some pictures of the river.

The mighty Snake is beating back Winter.
