The “bucket of teeth and claws” trick. Very funny.

[Monkey Face]

To the watchers, no doubt. To the recipient, no way.

Somehow, I think this time, Heavenly Father will say Emberlie and her family have suffered enough, and will take her into His loving arms.

But it won’t stop me from praying, because there is always a chance that He will decide in favor of those of us selfish enough to wish her to stay.

She is such a courageous little girl. Thanks for your prayers for her.

“Mom, you worry too much!”*

*Said immediately before rule 22 of the universe takes effect and the branch makes a snapping noise.

[Tax-chick]

Nothing to add there.

[Tax-chick]

Been there, did that.

[Monkey Face]

LOL!!

[Tax-chick]

“I’m not going to drop it!” is another line always followed by disaster.

[Monkey Face]

Oops! The lol was supposed to be at 526.

[Monkey Face]

Or, “I know how to do this!”

[Darksheare]

“I’m not going to hit him in the eye!”

[ColdOne]

No smoke today, we had some rain yesterday. Take Care You all!!

[Monkey Face]

Rain! Seventy degrees, 91%! Thunder!

[Monkey Face]

We are having a real gully washer, right now. It would be nice if I could send some your way!

[Tax-chick]

78, might rain later, going to Walmart.

[Monkey Face]

We have SO much rain right now! I don’t know what the totals will be by the end of the day, but the middle school next to us has a weather station so I will see if I can pull it up.

This is what monsoons should be like...

[Tax-chick]

What use is a monsoon if you can’t tell it from the usual drought?

Hasn’t rained here yet. I made teh byos go outside. I’m a horrible parent - how dare I not let them sit around the house all afternoon complaining that they’re bored?

[Monkey Face]

You ARE a horrible parent. Not like mine, of course. We were always outside, doing something, and IF we dared to complain on those ugly late fall-winter-early spring days that we had nothing to do and/or were bored, we usually found ourselves up to our elbows in some kind of W*O*R*K!

So we managed to make our own “busyness.”

[Monkey Face]

Friday or Saturday nights were my favorite times in the winter, though I realize now that money was so tight we were lucky to have what we did to eat; on those nights, our “nanny” (to use today’s term) would make cinnamon rolls. She was Norse and Swedish by birth, and her rolls were to die for!

And still, on some dreary Friday evenings, I wish she were in my kitchen, working her magic. ;o]

[Tax-chick]

I used to make cinnamon rolls. I had a starter I got from a lady in the church in Norman.

The byos claimed they heard thunder and came back. Vlad says he got in poison ivy, but I hope he’s mistaken. Sigh.
