From the first bank robbery re-enactment at the Great River City Festival. There will still be shows at 3pm and 5pm, so definitely stop by if you’re in the area! I’ll be doing more shooting (photos!) of my own.

I first saw this bit of graffiti a while back and finally remembered to go back with a camera this weekend. Gave me a good laugh…

Cougar #1: I love that Everybody Loves Raymond show. That’s the real world.

Cougar #2 & 3: (enthusiastically) Yeah!

While out and about this afternoon I made a quick stop at Goodwill and found this:

I really love the vacant look in the wife’s eyes. It should have been an omen of what was inside. Here are a few little gems I’ve found while skimming…

On a man’s and woman’s role in the marriage…
…for an ideal marriage, the husband should earn the living while the wife devotes herself to the duties of home. No doubt many homes would have been saved had this rule been observed.

On a woman’s view of her husband…
A woman who cannot and does not regard her husband as the head of the house is not to be envied but pitied, for no woman under such circumstances will ever be truly happy. The woman who wants the words “to obey” removed from the wedding ceremony may think of herself as a smart and sophisticated being. In reality she is arguing against God’s Word and against her own happiness. Don’t make this mistake if you want to be a happy wife.

On having children…
Whatever the reasons may be, persons who do not want children should know that their heart is in open and flaming revolt against God. They stand condemned before Him, before their own consciences, and before the judgment of all right-thinking members of the human race…How wrong and immoral the refusal to have children really is, is best demonstrated by the unhappiness of those who have imposed childlessness upon themselves and by the frequency of divorces among childless couples.

Wow. Stifling…and hilarious.
