March 2 – “What’s a Maverick?”

We are not at home right now.  Will be shortly.  No, no crisis or anything.  Not in the ER.  Not racing to assist in an emergency birth (Like I would be of any assistance in anything like that).  Not even that far away.  We are in Santa Fe (Texas, not New Mexico).  We were invited to a sleepover at Cailyn’s house.  Sort of.  Actually, it was just us.  We were the only guests.  And Nathan and April weren’t there, either.  That was kind of the situation.  April’s boss gave them tickets to sit with him at the rodeo last night.  And how could she say no to her boss, right? 

 

The evening started with Cailyn taking us out to eat at their favorite local Mexican food restaurant.  Los something or other, I think.  And it was her treat.  She handled herself admirably.  Even asked for the check when the waiter came by.  The food was pretty good.  Chris had chicken tacos.  Cailyn had nachos.  I had a grilled cheese … er, I mean quesadillas infused with beef and vegetables.  After the meal we settled in for a bit of a mini-marathon watching … drum roll here … Maverick.  Cailyn’s new favorite show.  Haven’t seen that one in years.  Still brings a chuckle, if you can find it on your own smart tv. 

 

Everybody is still asleep right now, except for me and maybe their miniature Australian shepherd named Marley.  She perked her head up at me when I walked down the hall to the kitchen.  The boxers kind of roamed the halls all night, and I think they are in the room with Cailyn.  I have no idea when Cailyn needs to be at school or when April needs to be at work.  Guess they will figure that out.  Oops.  There is a random weird sound.  I think it may be an alarm.  Wake up call.  “Git up.  Git outa da bed.  Don’t be a grunt, you big ol’ head.”

 

Acts 3:19 says, “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”

 

Father, thank you for this chance to hang out with Cailyn and Marley and Tillie and Abby for a sleepover.  Be with Cailyn at school and her parents at work.  Amen.
