Holy Humor

A Sunday School  teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys  and girls, what do we know about God?"

A hand  shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten boy.

"Really?  How do you know?"  the teacher asked.

"You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven..."

So last night we ate well, laughed a lot, played marbles, ate dinner, ate CAKE.  This one:

Triple Chocolate Cake…and the recipe can be found here.  Oh so easy and good, and it doesn’t even need a frosting, just a sprinkling of powdered sugar.  Yum.  Almost half a cake came home with us, if anyone wants a slice.  Yum.  Oh, I said that, but it is worth repeating.

Save the Earth.  It's the only planet with chocolate!

Have a peachy Sunday, y’all!

Happy birthday, Joy!

This sweet sista is having a birthday today!  No, these are not her very own orchids (although she has at least two green thumbs!).  She and dtr Melissa were at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens recently.

All of you have some cake and leave a little bloggy love for this soon-to-be-grammie.

We are looking forward to celebrating with you tonight!  And many more birthdays!!!  Love ya…

Cell phone caper

MM has loved Jason’s cast-off old flip phone.  It is water resistant (for those rides on the jet ski), is orange (easy to spot when it falls into grass), and is simple to use.  Until the charger thingy part won’t work.  Then, it is worthless!

No problem.  Friend Matt has (a discarded one) just like his damaged phone, and will give it to Dick.  Matt even delivered it to Jason and Amy’s house and put it on their kitchen counter.  What a friend!  Only problem was, we didn’t know it had been delivered.

Remember that is the very same home where two wee boys live?  Can you see where this is going?

MM  got the message that the phone was next door, so he went over to retrieve it.  Simple.  No way!  The cell phone was missing from the bag.  MM looked high; he looked low.  No phone.  HELP!

After much coaxing (bribing—whatever!) of two wee boys, Jason finally got Scooter to admit (after Scooter learned that he was NOT in trouble) that he took it in his pocket over to Sloan’s house…and left it there.  Doesn’t every 3 y/o need a cell phone in his pocket?!  We were just happy he remembered where he had left it!

Problem solved (until MM loses this one).

Don’t you just love a happy ending?  Smiles, y’all! 

Happy Friday the 13th!!!

Chilly Thursday

Blackberry Winter is here, but only briefly, so the weather person says.  It always happens.  Always.  The middle of April, and our heat is on.  Bugger.  It was 29 this morning.  Go away!  Go visit Barb in south Georgia with no A/C!!! 

So I got about halfway done with my judging yesterday and gave that half to Joy at lunch, then finished up the other half in the afternoon.  We’ll get together to finish up and compare notes and make a final decision.  We take our judging job very seriously!

MM came home awfully dirty yesterday.  And tired.  He is making progress, if dirt and grease is any indicator.  He is moving a bit slow this morning, bless his heart, but who wants to go work outside when it is cold?!  Not me for sure.  I’ll keep my inside job.

Make some smiles today.  Life is chilly but good in paradise, y’all!

Wonderful Wednesday

 

You want me to do what?  No way…I heard you tell Dad it was 34 outside.  This warm floor is MINE.  All mine.  Forget going outside.  Yawn…time for a nap.

No nap for me, even if I wanted one.  I have a stack of essays to read today to judge contestants for Woman of the Year and Chapter of the Year for an Atlanta BSP area council…along with my other half of Wonder Woman—Joy!  Fortunately, all the applicants will be nameless to us, because we probably know many of them personally, and we do not want our judging to be tainted in any   way.  Oy, wish us luck!  We’ve gotta get these back in the mail soon.

MM is diagnosing a problem he has with one of his big, mighty machines (read:  Expensive!).  Fortunately, he got it for a bargain price, because he is going to be spending a chunk of bucks getting it repaired.  He thinks he has narrowed down the problem, and is off to check part numbers.  And prices.  Ouch…but it’s gotta get fixed and back on the job.  Period.

So that life here in sunny, chilly paradise today.  And it is still good, watching the leaves erupt and fill out the tree branches.  I love spring…and want it back!  Brrr…

Happy smiles, y’all.  Let the judging begin!

So long!

Bob: Don't put this on your blog.
Me: why?
Bob: Because we always look goofy.
Me: That's because you ARE goofy.
But we love you anyway. And will miss y'all.
See you next month. And in another state. A new adventure is brewing. Safe travels to NH.
Gosh, the house is too quiet.
Come back, goofy relatives!!!

Hoppy Monday!

 

Brian, Faith, and Lil Haley all gussied up for Easter yesterday.

And Haley and me in our wraps—it was chilly!  MM, Logan and the girls were already downstairs in line for the Easter Feast that was yummy and quite plentiful.  We’ve got a bunch of good cooks in our church.

Bob and Lynne arrived in time for taco soup last night.  Today we are all putzing around doing a little of this and that…and eating chicken here tonight.

Did I mention that we love having our family around here?

Life is good, y’all.  Happy Monday!
