January 18 - The “Oh, yeah” things stage”

We are slowly discovering all the little “oh, yeah” things we may or may not need over the course of our two weeks away from home.  It’s the stage of walking around the house, seeing some random thing, and saying, “Oh yeah.  I might need that.”  Terrible place to be for too long.  So glad we leave tomorrow.

Chris cleaned house.  I mean, down to sweeping and dusting and mopping.  I know because I walked on her freshly mopped floor.  Not a good idea on the best of days ...

We went to Academy to check out the big clearance sale they were having.  Chris finally found some t-shirts for the cruise.  She has been searching for some for a long time.  How long?  Let’s see ... we signed up for this thing back in 2018 ...

Last night we went over to Cailyn’s house to deliver her birthday present.  She turned eleven on Wednesday and is having a party later today, butt the present was kind of fragile.  OK.  It was a lot fragile.  We got her a very cute Precious Moments figurine of a little girl listening to music on her headphones.  It reminded us of the countless times we have seen her in the same pose.  We also gave her a graphic novel.  Now hang on.  They make graphic novels of the Bible nowadays.  Except this one was the novel Diary of Anne Frank.  We weren’t sure if she would like it, but she actually started reading right away.  However ... she started at the end of the book.  Reminded her of her Daddy ...

Proverbs 21:2 says, “A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart.”

Father, thank you for that youngster.  And keep all the kiddos safe at this party today.  Amen.
