Colorful Language

 I found this statistic to be interesting regarding swear words in cinema. I have noticed that people use foul language so much more these days. You hear it on the movies, from adults, and now from the mouth's of babe's. We wonder why, where they pick it up, how they are learning it. Hearing terrible language disgusts me, angers me and hurts my heart. It makes me cringe. I want my reaction to always be that way. I never want to become immune to to hearing it, never want to tolerate it, and never want to speak it. There are some who use swear words in every day life in day to day conversation. I find it so sad. We used to hear bad words in the R rated movies, but it has moved it's way even into kids shows. Netflix has a string of television series and its so hard to find any good shows that aren't flooded with swearing. I have seen so many movies and shows that I think, wow if only they cleaned up the words, it could actually be a great show. It ruins the show. I refuse to watch shows that have lots of foul language. Yellowstone comes to mind. It is all the rave these days. There are millions of viewers and it is full of gruesome violence and heavy in foul language. I won't watch it. Mark is one of those that watches enough shows and hears it so much that he has become immune to it. He doesn't seem to notice anymore and I have to tell him to change it. I don't want the kids watching that or hearing that. I don't care if they are all almost adults, I want them to know it is unacceptable and not ok in our home, or anywhere for that matter. We can thank Hollywood and social media for putting it out there. I have noticed in the last 3 years, it has gotten increasingly worse. Where is the filter?  Just look how far we've come. 


















I did some research on Yellowstone. Each episode is 43 minutes, there are 10 episodes in a season. If each episode averages 40 F bombs, that's 400 episodes per season. Yikes!!

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
