Good Say For The Day

An Email

My Aunt sent me this and I thought it was sweet.
An eye witness account from New York
City , on a cold day in December,
some years ago: A little boy,
about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the
roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering
With cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said,
'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'

'I was asking God to give me a pair of
shoes,'was the boy's reply.

The lady took him by the hand, went into
the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks
for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water
and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back
part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed
his little feet, and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with
the socks.. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him
a pair of shoes..

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks
and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head and said, 'No
doubt, you will be more comfortable now..'

As she turned to go, the astonished kid
caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears
in his eyes, asked her.
'Are you God's wife?'

Don't believe everything you think!

Out Of The Mouth Of Babes...

Last week I got new glasses.
No one really noticed, which is fine with me.
I really don't like a lot of attention.


No one that is except this little one!

She doesn't miss much.

I picked her and Rea up from school

walked out to the truck and

buckled them in. Got in the front

and cranked up. From the back seat

comes, "Gigi, did you get

new glasses?" Awe, someone noticed!

How sweet it was my first born

grand daughter who loves me soooo

much! I say, "I sure did!

Do you like them?"

From the back seat comes,

"NO!" very matter of fact tone.

I'm like "What!? You don't like

my new glasses??"

"Um, NO!

I like your other ones"

These are the ones she likes.

I tell her that's okay that she doesn't

like them. I kept the other ones too

and had new lens put in them.

I was just looking for something

lighter weight on my face. The

others get heavy by the end of the day.

Why didn't I just take her with

me to pick them out in the first

place. She'll tell me the truth.

One thing I noticed was how green my eyes are these days. They use to be so blue and as I have aged they have turn so green.

Comparing Notes

My grand daughters other grand parents stopped by the house for a short visit the other day and we were comparing notes about the girls.

So Emily tells me that sometimes she calls Shelby 'honeybun' and she asked Shelby if there is any special names that Gigi calls her??

With out skipping a beat, Shelby responds with, "yes, she calls me 'Grasshopper' and she calls Rea, 'Ladybug'.

Well when we hear this, Harry and I bust out laughing. That's the first time I've heard this one!

So Emily says, "oh, you mean you don't call her Grasshopper??"

Um, NO!

I call her all kinds of things but GRASSHOPPER!, I don't think so!

The child has a vivid imagination but seriously if it was 1972 I might think that she had been watching to much 'Kung Fu', (You know the one starring David Carradine.)

Where this one came from, who knows?? I'm tellin yall the girls a mess!
