Deer, OH Deer!


This happened NewYear's Eve, the Jeep is in the body shop as I write this. They popped up out from behind a ridge, near here on pavemet, in the middle of the ever-lovin day. I tried to avoid them, but they had a vendetta. Two does slammed right into the side of the Jeep. You can see each of their imprints in each of the doors. When I got safely pulled over, I turned and saw one laying in the road. I thought, well, maybe ate least I'll get to process this one, some recompense for the damage. I started to dial my brother-in-law, who I knew was closeby and would be able to dispatch the infernal creature and help me get it home. However, when I opened my door, she got up and ran off. I imagine she had fallen down laughing anyway and scooted out when the joke on me had played out.

Pa-Pa Joe

Last night my husband's grandpa ended his struggle at the age of 91. We're happy for him, sad for us. We'll miss his humor, his guitar and harmonica playing. As a former Methodist minister, he married Andy and I, as well as Andy's brothers and their wives. Thanks to everyone who has been praying for our family as we were preparing to say goodbye. E4 was happy, she was seeing Grandma June on the other side jumping up and down, clapping, saying 'He's here! He's here!' She probably had the domino table all set up and ready for him.
