Years ago, the people with Yellow Pages said “Let your fingers do the walking”. This week the person who writes this blog says “Let the pictures doing the talking.”
 For her birthday, Tanah got the two debate trophies that she earned but did not receive. |  The orange dress she got for her birthday brought a much bigger smile....and a lot more comments. "Hello Tan...gerine!" Brother Carter said to her at church today. She also got suggestions that she get a job as a construction worker and/or wear it deer hunting. [NOTE: The sandal actually do match the dress. The camera's flash distort their color.] |
 Grace gets braces....... Before |  ....during..... |  ....after. |
  I came home from work Thursday to find this cage, complete with water bottle, food dish, salt lick, rabbit pellets, and bunny, in my front yard. The rabbit had obviously been well cared for and the abandoning owner apparently assumed we'd care for it as well. |  Assumption validated. Tanah immediately adopted it, named it Mouse, and added it to her menagerie. |
 A very intelligent, smart, good-looking, talented, charming and extremely entertaining man (Chris Hislop, in case the description was not specific enough) offered Lance a ticket to the Cavalier/Jazz game. Cleveland was trailing by 6 when LeBron James sunk a three pointer and then three consecutive foul shots to tie the game with three seconds left. Gordon Hayward nailed a basket to win the game for the Jazz. It was a great night to be a Jazz fan (and a friend of Chris's!). |  This also showed up in my yard. Tanah did not adopt it though Zorro did roll in it.......  Three ends? My boss pulled me into his office, gave me a generous evaluation and then said "I am concerned that you are trying to burn the candle at three ends.....Please take care of yourself." I was touched, honored, and, perhaps, a bit convinced. As a good faith measure, I slept in until 7:30 this morning. OH MY LANDS! What a difference a full night's sleep makes!! |
A barn filled with hay and a freshly tilled garden.........What more could a farmer's daughter want? (Be careful how you answer that!)
For months Manuel has said to Lance, "We're going to get wet together, Bro!" Saturday it happened; Lance baptized Manuel making him an official member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We love you Manny!
The final story has no picture.
Addie, age 4, came to me today and said, with earnest intensity, "When someone loses their leg they have to use one of these" and she pantomimed a crutch.
Yes, I responded with an level of earnestness that I hoped matched hers.
"And when someone loses a leg and another leg they have to use two of these," she continued, pantomiming two crutches.
I nodded.
"And when someone loses a leg and another leg and an arm and another arm they....." she paused thoughtfully, ".....fall."
Yes, they do. [NOTE: I almost bit my tongue in half but I did not laugh.]
Sure love you,
Teresa
