It is a brittle 37-degrees outside this morning. Walking out the door with the girls this morning was the hard way to get fully awake. Burrr. Time for the gas logs.
Dean had some exciting news at work, there may be an opportunity for him to make an in house change. Pray for guideance in this decision.
Alice helped me out with this picture of Faith it was very highly contrasted, but by making some changes and turning it to a sepia tone, we were able to get a up close and personal look at that elusive tooth that she has. She looks like she is having a fantastic time in the pumpkin patch - probably thinking about using that tooth on one of the pumpkins.
I'm heading off to spend some time with Aunt Jo and Mom this afternoon. We are going out for lunch at the New Sino American Buffet. From what I understand this is a terrific place.
We had a great time with Aunt Jo. We had all kinds of fun talking and telling a few stories. The food at the buffett was wonderful. They even had about seven different kinds of sushi to sample in addition to the regular oriental fare. The coupon that we had was only for the southside location (they are owned by different companies), oh well. Perhaps next time.

This first-person account describes how a prayer passed down through family generations brings comfort and joy even in the saddest of times.
The writer overheard the end of an emotional conversation between a mother and daughter in an airport, wherein both wished the other "enough." After the daughter left, the writer approached the mother, asking what wishing you "enough" meant.
The mother's answer was a prayer handed down from her parents to be shared with loved ones. In the form of a blessing, the prayer urges that other person to enjoy a life filled with "just enough good things to sustain them":
- I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
- I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
- I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
- I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
- I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
- I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
- I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
Why you don't need a truck in Vietnam.
Aunt Barbara sent these over and I got the best chuckle out of them and thought this would be a great place to share them.
How many piggies are there on that motorcycle? Just how many fowls is that lady carrying with her? This last one reminds me of when Dad had the Datsun truck, and all of us squeezing into the cab for a ride across the river.
