Sincereheart Said:
Does that mean we're becoming Amish?
Oklahoma Howdy to Sincereheart,
You know, I think that the Amish people have many good ideas. They work hard, live simply, and they don't have a lot of the problems of this world. You don't have to worry about what your kids are watching on television if you don't have a TV.
I doubt they are very worried about the gas prices either.
LOL! See? That's what I mean!
We're not worried about gas prices at this point!
We've been growing fruits and veggies. Fresh eggs. Venison and wild turkey. We have no television reception though we are enjoying watching videos and DVD's as a family. And the less we have that's wordly, the more we enjoy the riches of the Lord's blessings. God is so good!
But I do draw the line at the clothing!
I joked once with my wife about wanting to make things really simple for retirement. I suggested no cars, no telephone, no electricity, and a very small log cabin heated by a fire place. My wife told me to write and let her know how I was doing.
ROFL! I've got my poor husband so scared because I'm at the point where all that sounds good!
It sounds like your husband already has a lot of the tools to make a musical instrument. I will find out something for you. I remember hearing my dad talk about it when I was young. I remember him telling me the first and most important step was selecting the right wood for the specific instrument. I also remember that it was a lengthy process with many steps. I'm sure there are quicker ways, but they wanted good sound quality. I'm almost sure there is a curing process first. Remember, they selected their wood from a live tree, and they started over if the wood didn't cure right. I might have a location for my cousin now, and he may even have some of the instruments older family members made. So far, I don't think that he has a telephone. You guessed it - he never married.
Love In Christ,
Tom
Sounds good! I know my husband would actually enjoying doing that with us! Ok, he'd have to! I'm clueless!
