August 20 - “Fat fickle finger of fate”

Well, that was not helpful. I had my blog for today all written and ready to transfer from my phone’s notes app to an email and then to a computer copy and finally to my blog site online. All was going well … until it wasn’t. Through some technological glitch, or more likely, some fat fickle finger of fate, suddenly everything was gone. Well, everything except the final word … “Amen.” Fittingly appropriate, I suppose.

 

So from what I can remember, yesterday was filled with frolicking. Not of our own, but of the eight extra little feet that showed up to hang out with us for an hour or two. Noa and Ezra came over. Wait. That’s just four extra feet. I said eight earlier. Well, they brought Leia with them. Leia is their dog. Hence, eight feet. Freddy seemed happy to see the little critter she had just spent two weeks with. And the two much-larger, yet still tiny humans seemed pleased to get some time away from older brothers and parents and potential schoolwork.

 

They all arrived in time to watch an episode of The Floor is Lava while I went to pick up a pizza or two. One cheese and one stuffed-crust pepperoni. I added the stuffed crust part. A little bonus for the errand boy.

 

After pizza we watched some of the Little League World Series until Mom and Dad returned to pick up the young ones. Kel finished off the stuffed-crust pizza before they left, so he was well-fed going forward. Can’t leave Nana’s house hungry, you know? 

 

The rest of the evening we watched Astros baseball with a little Little League thrown in as well. I even remembered that we had the ability to make Sno-cones, and acted upon said remembrance. We tried a new flavor. Tiger’s Blood. Some weird mixture of watermelon, strawberry, and coconut. Odd flavor. Not terrible. Just odd.

 

Galatians 6:9 says, Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

 

Father, thank you for Noa and Ezra and their reckless abandon way of approaching life. Amen.
