May 7 - “5 or 10 Thousand”


It’s getting a little warm out there. We were a bit late getting started on our walk yesterday, so we were shooting for 8:30. We had to get the car to Dennis first, but we didn’t want to wake him up too early. It needed an oil change and inspection and check of a noise we are hearing that could mean we need new tires. Had to get that critter all fixed up and greased up for our next road trip. 


Dennis didn’t take long to get everything done. He called a few hours later and reassured us that our tires were still OK for another 5 or 10 thousand miles. That’ll get us through this next trip anyway. Woohoo. I think the next thing to check on those tires will be the balance. That means a trip to Firestone. 


In the afternoon we headed into Texas (Alvin, to be exact. Home of Nolan Ryan).  The homeschool co-op that the LaMarque Vaughan’s are a part of were having an end of the year celebration thingie. Noa had invited us to come, because she was performing. How can you say no to that?


Ezra’s group recited in unison a story they had learned about a caterpillar. Very cute. 


Noa’s group was much larger, obviously older, and as such more was expected of them. They put together a rap of the history of the world, including costumes, fake beards, and huge poster boards with key dates on them. The kids did some chanting together, and select kids had rap solos. Guess who was the best? Noa, of course. 


Micah’s government class made a video about our system of government, taxes, and potential abuses of power. Very well-done. 


You know what? We got some good grandkids. Just wanted you to know that. 


‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬ ‭ says, Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.


Father, thank you for the folks who volunteered so many hours to put that co-op and that final presentation together. Bless them for that. Amen.
