I Just Love What Kids Say

As a parent, it may be one of my favorite things to observe. You just never know what your kids are piecing together inside their noggin's based on what they are learning and/or what you've told them in the past.

Setting: McDonald's, Friday evening, just the two of us

Her: "Where's Momma?"

Me: "Remember, she's travelling for work. What would you like? Nuggets? Cheeseburger? Fries?"

Her: "Oh, I remember. I don't want anything."

Me: "Really? Nothing? Okay, we'll I think you'll be hungry soon, so I'm going to get you a cheeseburger meal."

While attempting to get her to eat:

Me: Take a bite of your burger. It's just like Daddy's and Daddy is eating his." (I had an Angus burger and it comes loaded with lettuce and a tomato).

Her: (thoroughly checking out my burger) "Your cheeseburger has a salad on it!"

I Would Like To Report A Missing Tree

One of the things I love most about life is that it continues to truck on, whether you are paying attention or not. It is all around and in constant motion. As a habit, I try to pay attention to my surroundings because experience has taught me that I just never know what I may miss!

Take this day, for example:

I drove this little black car – a rental – to visit a company and I spent most of the day there. I chose this spot on a quiet side street because it placed the already-scorching ride into the shade. When I came out, it did not take long to realize the car was no longer in the shade.

In fact, the tree that made this a prime spot was missing entirely! I observed wood chips all around in the street, sidewalk, and grass. There was also a stump midway between the street and sidewalk that had a very, very new appearance to its grains!

All I can say is someone has skills because, speaking for myself, I would not trust even me to cut down a tree, much less a tree with a strange car parked underneath it!

You GO, crazy tree-stealing guy with skills!

Homesick Hello

I decided to post this just in case a certain someone decides she needs a little touch of home. We both miss you, Momma!

To My Love,

Thank you for so many things. Among them, listening and supporting me and always being there. Know that I would marry you all over again. Happy Anniversary.

I Love You,

Isn't IT Though?

We spotted this Jeep up North. I just loved the plate.

There is another sticker at the top of the windshield and a special badge on each side fender. There was mild discussion amongst the group as to whether or not this might possibly be the owner of the T-shirt company, Life is Good.

I mean, it could be, right?
