So Alison (one of the crazy-fabulous people I get to work with) and I have been testing each other to see how much Adventures in Odyssey trivia we know. ...We both know quite a bit, in fact. Well, I'm curious to see how many others have some trivia questions of their own! Go ahead and post any you think of in the comment area. :D
While you're racking your brain for creative questions, here are a few for you to try:
- While Whit's invention, the Strataflyer, is ONLY in the video series of Adventures in Odyssey, it happens to be alluded to in at least one radio episode (that I'm aware of). Which episode is that?
- Who is Boswell, and what other characters is he connected with?
- In the episode where Jimmy Barclay is in a coma, what is the common theme in names of the different vehicles/vessels he finds himself in?
(I'll post the answers in a day or two.)
I hope you're having a great day! :)

Thoughts
A lot has been on my mind lately:
Dad and his deployment - how hard it is, but how wonderful it is for the four of us to get to FaceTime so often...
Mom and her illnesses and having to deal with the complications and effects of celiac, and how well she's handling managing these things on top of house-hunting (although that isn't too urgent, I think) and Chaela's schoolwork and everything else she does...
Chaela and -- well, she has a lot going on in her life and in her heart, but we haven't really talked much about it at all lately, which fact is another thing on my mind...
Jon. Goodness. I don't know what I'm thinking there, really, except that I hope and pray he is doing alright after our breakup three weeks ago; praying that we'll one day maybe be able to honestly be friends like we were on the early end of last summer; thankful for the time God gave us to be together and learn from one another...
School and how embarrassingly slow I have been in completing everything thus far, and how overwhelmed I feel by the bulk of what's left...
My future (both immediate and far-off) in all its looming uncertainty and possibilities; I have never wanted and still do not want to have to pursue a career of any sort, even if it's something as appealing to me as working with and teaching children, but it looks like that's just what I need to begin considering seriously.
How wonderful that I have a Best Friend who knows how all this mess will turn out and has my best interest at heart! I sincerely want to be in the perfect center of God's will, but right at this moment I'm struggling to see even a glimmer of hope of knowing what that is....
Needless to say, I sure would appreciate prayer that I would seek God's will with my whole heart without reserve in any area, and that I would have a joyful spirit through it all! Thank you. :)
*NOTE (8/29/13)
Last night Chaela listened to me as I related most of what I said here and more. She is definitely among the best sisters in the history of ever! She helped me by letting me sort through things by saying them aloud as well as by offering advice.
Anyway, I'm feeling significantly better and feel like I've been given a glimpse of where my next first step should be....

Delightful Day in Denver
I had yesterday off from work at Whit's End, so Mom decided to kidnap me away to an undisclosed location for a day out -- just the two of us! We arrived after an hour's drive at the Denver Art Museum... YAY! I haven't been to an art museum since we were in Maryland; it's been a while! Needless to say, I really enjoyed the day. :D
This art was crocheted! I was really impressed since I honestly thought it was constructed from actual coral from a distance.
[ flattened metal bottle caps ]
[ ...thousands of them! ]
This was interesting... the floor, walls, and everything was made of some soft material and filled with styropfoam-type stuff! I kept tripping in it. :P
"Leg and Armchairs"
Mom and I went for a short walk across the street from the museum. The flowers were so lovely, and so prettily arranged!
We knew I was going to have a coaching call that afternoon, so Mom had nixed a couple of her original day-out ideas that would have taken us into the mountains and their fabulous "no service" zones. Glad she thought that through, because my coach and I had a great call! (I sure enjoyed being out on the grass rather than at my desk, in front of my computer, for a change.)
Our next stop was at The Polish Pottery Outlet -- Mom's new favorite place to go! I suppose it's a good thing the place is an hour away from home... ;)
We found three pretty mugs to add to our collection. Now we can finally stop having guests use our old faded mugs - woohoo! Mom also found a pretty butter dish to keep on her gluten-free counter space, since the regular butter dish's butter is always contaminated.
After the Polish pottery shopping, Mom took me to an early dinner at Chili's. (P.S. Their blackberry iced tea is delicious! Mom loved their watermelon lemonade as well.)
Mama and I split a salmon and chicken dish (finally, a perfect serving size)...
Yep. It was good!
Okay, so this is at home, not in Denver. But it was definitely a part of the day's fun! I made caramel popcorn for the first time ever -- including the homemade caramel. :D It sure tastes good, though I want to find a lighter caramel recipe...

Craft Time!
So I've had these glass soda bottles sitting around with my craft stuff for a couple years now. Mom and I finally got around to having some fun with them! We used a "recipe" she found - on Pinterest, I think - for tinting/painting the glass. I think it worked out pretty well! I can't wait to go for a walk to gather up some pretty wildflowers to add the finishing touch to these lovelies. :)
