A Little Of This, A Little Of That

1. Gentlemen, if you are a beard-wearer (and even if you are not), please get some help from your wife, daughter, or barber in keeping the hair that grows in your ears and from your nostrils from twining into your beard. If you do not get some help, please do NOT come to my teller window to do your banking. For some reason this makes my stomach want to eject its contents.

2. Birthday cards for little kids ought to always have stickers and a coloring poster! How often do you hear of a child asking for a birthday card just like that???

3. I'm getting a little excited about Sprite Lemon's appearance. Her Gweag is hoping that she will come a little early (like Nov. 1).

4. I love the colors of Fall. It is so pretty. God is so lavish in His use of colors at this time of year.

5. Nothing thrills my heart as much as Eva's big grin and squeal when I pick her up at her babysitter's house.

6. I play this little game with Abby, Jonathan and Hunter to get really good hugs. They try to "pop my head off" with a big squeeze. I think Jonathan may just have succeeded this time. I've had a kink in my neck since Sunday night.

7. I'm having fun plotting the books I'm planning on buying a certain almost 12 year old. I love the fact that my grandkids are readers!

8. I had an interesting conversation about golf with David Riley on Saturday. Evidently he enjoys hitting golf balls, but since he doesn't have any clubs, he uses hammers. "You can get a lot of air on a golf ball if you hit it with a sledge hammer, Nana!"

9. Mistie is looking forward to the ending of her evening sickness. She really wants to be able to like the taste and texture of foods again!

10. Two years after the death of my Dad, I still have trouble remembering not to ask to talk to him when I talk to my step-mom. Oh, how I miss him!

11. It's really, REALLY nice to have a working computer again.

12. I'm hungry for pumpkin donuts. I think I'm going to stop at Tim Horton's on my way to work.

Have a great day!
