Try and Figure This Out.....

OK--Is all you need is a measuring tape, a table, and two cans of coke, or any aluminum can (Like the ones in the picture)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First, stand one of the cans upright on the floor, and put the other one on its side on the table, like you see in the picture.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, measure from the top of the can standing on the floor, to the top of the one on its side on the table.

Remember your measurement. Ours was about 32"

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alright, now turn the one on the table that is on its side upright like the one on the floor, and turn the one on the floor on its side. In other words, switch their positions. Now measure it the same way as you did before--from the top of the one on its side to the top of the one that is upright. Remember this measurement, and compare it to the other one. They should be the same, right?? Guess again. You'll probably do this about 60 times unless you have someone REALLY smart who figures it out immediately.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Comment and tell us if y'all figured it out immediately, if it took you a while, or if you are just plain stumped. (I would still be stumped, but Peter, with his ingenious mind figured it out:)

Come on, now try it--you know you want to.....

Lakeland T.E.A. Party 9-12-09

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Lakeland TEA Party 

There were tons of great speakers!

I took pictures of as many signs as I could--There were alot of really good ones.

There were plenty of people--I think around 2500.

"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases."

Thomas Jefferson

Conversing and waiting to hear the speakers

Mama and Deeda

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

Ronald Reagan

Uncle Sam insisted on helping the ladies out!:);)

Haha!!:):)

"Does the government fear us, or do we fear the government? When the people fear the government, tyranny has found victory. The federal government is our servant, not our master!"

Thomas Jefferson

Ariana an Christi

"Man! Is it ever gonna stop raining???"

Mama and Mrs. Pollock:)

Deeda and Mary enjoyed their time together

May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Helping Grandmama and Grandaddy

Here are some pictures of recent happenings, and also pictures that I finally downloaded

from Mama's phone(Which by the way are not the highest quality)
Anyways, hope y'all enjoy!

It's always nice to go over and help Granddaddy and Grandmama in their yard.

We thought it would be nice for Grandmama to have a garden that she could have easy access to, so Granddaddy hopped on board , and we made some raised beds for her right beside the house.

Farmer Dan:):)

Deeda proclaimed proudly that her friend beetles squeaked.They actually did! She was quite proud of them:):)

Digging a hole......obviously

I planted a gardenia here for Grandmama

I would say "Art" if I didn't detest that term :D

Helping Granddaddy!
