Taking the Scenic Route

My silly girl

Mom and Dad came up on Tuesday to bring back the Pontiac. They actually drove the Pontiac here, not hauled it on a trailer. It no longer bleeds oil. YEAH! Apparently, the oil leaked so bad on the way there that it left a trail on the way up the trailer, a huge puddle during the drive, and when dad pulled out the gauge, it left a puddle of oil on his workbench. Yeah, it had a serious problem. lol. He fixed it and now I can drive to play dates and start meeting the homeschool groups in the parks and events again. Heck, when Zach isn’t driving an hour out of town, he can drive it to work and I can take the kids in the nicer vehicle. WooHoo!

When they arrived, Zora and I had recently gotten out of the shower. I was dressed already, but Zora was refusing to budge from her tantrum, totally naked, laying her head on the toilet seat cover. I told mom to come around the corner and she couldn’t help but laugh when she saw her. Grandma was able to convince the little diva to get dressed, and let her pick what she wanted to wear in the process. The girl has a flamboyant fashion sense:

We went out to CiCis for supper and she was as charming as she could be trying to get us to give her brownies before the pizza. lol.

Today, when I was getting some clothes washed, she decided to “help”.

I love that silly girl.

  • Let’s open our hearts in prayer. Gracious and loving God your son taught us that your kingdom is among us. Yet so often we treat life as something to be gotten through instead of something to be embraced and to be cherished. We look ahead to the end of the work day, to the week-end, to the summer vacation, to retirement, and we forget that the only time we will ever have is now. Open our eyes and open our hearts so we know that we cannot collect the moments we waste and store them for future use, and we cannot hide our love away, protecting it, thinking the ideal time will someday arrive when we can reach into that vast reservoir of love we have saved up and joyfully pour it upon the world. Tomorrow may never come and we cannot relive a single wasted yesterday. Today is all we will ever have. Grant us the wisdom to understand that now is the time to embrace the fragile beauty of life and now is the only time we will ever have to love the people you have placed beside us for this mysterious and beautiful journey. — Gary Cox, pastorial prayer, after his terminal cancer diagnosis.
