Methodist Episcopal Hymnal

Hello all! I've attached a picture of a hymnal and article I found, and the link to my Picasa page with more pictures is accessible by clicking the title of this post.

I'm wondering WHO SOME PEOPLE ARE?!?!? I have this hymnal that dates back to 1878. In it are listed 4 names of people. 2 are Reverends with the Methodist Episcopal Church from the last century. The other two, I'm not really sure... Anyone have any ideas? The names are...

Rev. T.B. Lugg
Rev. John Slater
Brother Clark
John Lowry

Thought it was interesting, and would love to hear from you if you have any info! Or if you just think it's really cool like I do.

Countdown to the Lindsay Clan Family Reunion! See y'all soon. Can't wait and can't believe it's been three years since we were in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Yes, this picture is OLD but I love any reason to post a picture of Granny.

Finley Valentine

Welcome to the newest member of the Lindsay Clan, Finley Valentine Ritchie! Stacy and Taylor are both so proud of their little one, as they should be! Finley was born Jan. 11th at 12:50am by c-section. All parties are doing well. According to Heidi (who I'm also stealing this picture from) she weighed in at 6lbs. 8oz., and was 19in. long! Thanks to Heidi for all the great info and pictures! Check out her blog for more! Congratulations to Stacy and Taylor, and welcome, Finley!

Henry is Walking!!!

Henry has decided it is time to walk....he has been cruising around for awhile now and is really starting to take some steps on his own. I can't believe he (along with Jameson and Archer) will all be one very soon!!!

Hope everyone is doing well...miss you all!!!

Red Ribbon Ride

Heidi just completed the Red Ribbon Ride in Minnesota, and posted her travel experiences. The ride supports finding a cure for and informing others about HIV/Aids. Check it out! She's awesome!

Is Your Dog TOO Happy??

Happy Tail Syndrome. It exists. Even the vet said it did. I'd noticed Coda had been losing hair on the tip of her tail, and was worried it was mange... again. But she hadn't been scratching or chewing on it, so all was well! Until New Mexico. We got there, and Coda got so into the local art scene she decided to join in the fun! We were finding blood spatter as high up as some of the picture frames. When we finally identified the problem, Bob was a great sport and (multiple times) bandaged Coda's tail. She looked hilarious, as you can see below. Apparently, Happy Tail Syndrome is when a dog wags their tail SO MUCH and hits it on things SO OFTEN that it damages the hair follicles. This in turns creates very dry skin in that location. So dry, it ends up cracking and bleeding! And because Coda can't stop wagging her tail (she is a VERY happy dog!), she contributed to Mom and Bob's home with her own modern artwork. Don't worry, we cleaned it all up. But still. HAPPY TAIL SYNDROME?!?!?! Thankfully she's no longer a "mangy mutt".
