Doing A Few New Things

Last weekend, my Yoder family went on our annual (3rd year running) campout. We went to a new place. Seems like everywhere we go - we find new ways of being Yoder's and the one new way that we found was "rowdyism" (well actually it was how not to be rowdyism).  Yes, it clearly is a word cuz we googled it. And yes, it was on a set of rules with this one particular campgrounds. But the wording was "no rowdyism". It was second on the list of what not to do or be. We found the entire weekend was trying very hard not to be rowdyism. And if you know our family....well....let's just say - we don't succeed very well in that area.  hahaha

Also during the weekend, I tried something new to taste......turkish delight....can't really see why Edward gave up his siblings for some turkish delight in the Chronicles of Narnia - really wasn't THAT good.

Today, we again had an informal get together. Mom and Pops are in town, so we try to find any excuse to get together. This morning it was over waffles. I tried a couple new things: Mom's gluten free waffle and Lisa's new pecan waffle recipe. No offence to either of them, but I think I'll stick with my gluten-filled Bisquick waffles with pecans baked on top and fresh fruit, yogurt and pure maple syrup.

Another new thing that I did actually this morning was something I have never done before and it kinda creeped me out a bit. And that was to do a criminal background check on myself. I've had employers do that on me when I've begun a new job and evidently there's nothing to report because they continued to hire me. But this is the first time that I've been asked to do it myself and pay for it.
Maybe within the last 4 years since the last time one was done - I've done something criminal.....well we shall see.....it was rather weird though to do it on  myself.

So what new things have you tried lately???  Be brave. I'll keep forging new frontiers and going where I've never gone before and trying all things new. I shall see what new thing will spring up as I check out every opportunity that knocks on my door.
