BEST DAY EVER!

BEST DAY EVER chanted Jack as he jumped up and down on the bubble wrap! 

The first time I heard the LOUD POP, I thought someone had fired a gun at our house! 

Then, the BIG surprise--- my daughter came in with a bouquet of flowers mixed with cards from every family member I've ever had along with hometown chums, Memphis church friends and even a few PiPhi sisters. Her goal was 80 cards for my 80th......and then some!

Oh Happy Day! (Romans 12:10)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

A blog to have you mostly use your imagination.....because I only took 1 pic.

Celebrating Mother's Day was special for BB and me & our spouses! 

Her son and my daughter treated us and our "joint grandboys" to nearby Deep Creek for picnic with all the fixin's! Plus, chatting, laughing, campfire s'mores and BB's lemon blueberry poundcake to take home!!

A perfect way to honor their father and mother. (Exodus 20:12)

Before the munching started, I followed the younger grand who removed his crocks & sat right in the water of the COLD creek. Nor far from him were LOTS of tadpoles on an underwater rock in the creek. 

We talked about tadpoles turning into frogs. 

I was unable to scientifically answer his question with eggs, gills or tails to answer his question, "How do they know how to do that?" 

I answered truthfully, "God made them to know how to do that!"

As we packed up to leave, a large pileated woodpecker joined our gathering. (photo by PopPop) 

A "Happy" time was had by all the mothers and their kin!

WACKEY---

WacKey---the perfect descriptor for my mind....

or "lack their of."

Webster would say, "slightly odd or peculiar" but those adjectives  are not zany or outlandishly quirky enough for for me!

WacKey!  All encompassing/inclusive for me in thought and action!

The" key" to understanding the total me. (Note all the dots on the KEY)

Enough said!

*Exodus 20:17---A big THANKS to Buddy, Josh and Molly for living this out for me. Maybe y'all can share this "new to us" house as a vacation destination someday!

OLD & FRAZZLED!

Why can't I throw it out???

I, myself, am old and frazzled! Yet, words within this old frazzled poetry book teach me.....
