Be ye thankful


My dear friend has just lost her baby and I feel for her. I love her and her special family with all my heart. They are like family to me, their other children are the best playmates that another parent could ask for. This quote I think fits this situation very well. "There is no footprint so small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world." Please keep this family in your prayers.

Bowling with a 3 year old- A test of patience!!!

I tell you what Madison loves to throw-YES throw not roll the ball-EEK! Thank goodness a majority of the time it went in the correct direction! Tonight we went to quarter bowl and she had so much fun. She wanted to do everything by herself, from selecting her ball (from the kiddo selection) to actually bowling by herself!! I never knew how uptight league bowlers can be, we were in a lane adjacent to theirs and it was obvious that we shared the ball holder thing. I asked if it would get by and put my ball along w/ Maddy's on the rack with theirs. This lady came back with "WE ARE LEAGUE BOWLERS AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR YOUR BALLS WITH OURS!" Needless to say there were only 3 of them in the other lane-YIKES !! My friend Bev from way back (who was in the furthest lane) was in the league and just rolled her eyes at the lady and came and told me she was a real piece of work... Thank goodness I kept my tongue in my mouth and my hands on my ball =I Thank Heavenly Father for that one b/c normally I would have given that ol' coot a piece of my mind. Growing up does people good OBVIOUSLY NOT THAT HEFFA-LOL!!! Lessons in humility and understanding are everywhere =)
