Rain





















I woke up to the sound of a steady, soothing rain this morning. It was
music to my ears and it almost always brings out some frogs, which it
did! This good size tree frog was peeoping in through our window
(most likely watching all those annoying flies that got in).

Grandpa Willard went to church this morning, so I took the opportunity
to wrap some small birthday items for him. If you may wonder in the
future "why" grandma isn't in church...grandma enjoyed church for many
years when your mom, aunt Lise and uncle Tyler were little. Now that I
am old/er the "orgainized religious" practice gives me a head ache some-
times, not always. If you were here I would enjoy taking you, because we
could sing some fun songs, hear some neat stories and get some stickers,
and learn how God is responsible for all the good in life, and most likely
the teachers would call you cute, sweet, and smile alot.

In the adult classes the singing is for the church serivce only, the stories
are replaced with critical opinions, NO stickers whatsoever! People
use the Bible more for pushing their interpetations, instead of using
it as a guide of inspiration and comfort. No one is very cute, however
the old ladies can be sweet, smile and hug a lot; they inspire me.

Some Saturdays I go, and some saturdays I stay home and watch the
birds and look for frogs...

It has stopped raining so I will walk Marley. What do you like to do
on Saturdays, or when it rains?

A Day Off















Today was my day off from work, YEAH!

One of the first things I do when I get up is make myself a cup of coffee;
I love coffee. Not just any coffee, fresh and rich with cream. I like the
way it smells when it is brewing, I like the rich color before I add the
cream, and I the carmel color after I add the cream...and I love the way
the first sip gently wakes me up.

Grandpa Willard video taped me with his new flip camera he got. I
didn't know what he was doing (I'm fuzzy when I first get up), until
he showed me this:







For breakfast I made oatmeal with a smashed banana and vanilla soy milk.
  • then I took bath
  • fed, watered and walked Marley, (grandma's black lab)
  • fed and watered aunt Lise's chickens
  • went to my computer lab
  • renewed my license plate tags
  • talked to you and your mother on the phone
  • swept, mopped, and did some laundry
  • made spinach quiche for dinner
  • went back to the grocery store because grandpa Willard and I were hungry for ice cream
  • designed a birthday card for grandpa Willard (he's getting old)

It is now 12:26 AM and grandma is tired. What did you do today?

Tolerance

"Tolerance implies a gratuitious assumption of the inferiority of other faiths to one's own."
[Ghandi]


Tolerance...something that came to my mind in church today.

Grace


[Grace isn't a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It's a way to live.]


-Jackie Windspear

I had the day off & enjoyed sleeping in, making a pecan nutloaf, peas, boiled potatos with brown gravey, and watching movies: Midnight Clear, Dan in Real Life.
