Hello,
While Brian and his kids were here we
got out the sea shells. Brian was amazed that we have moved them so many times
without getting rid of them. He had decided to get rid of them several years
ago. I do not remember when that was even, but I could not bear to part with
them. When we lived in Chariton we did have them in the display case in the
library. Other than that, a box has been their home.
Sophia and Logan were quite interested
in these pieces, handling them with care and a bit of awe. On Monday I learned
that my co worker was going to do a story time that was beach related so I offered
the shells. Ironic that in one week they have been viewed twice after years of
being tucked away in the dark. Even though I have no earthly use for them, I am
reluctant to get rid of them. I find them interesting to look at, just not
often.
Leroy has managed to work at one place
or the other everyday this week. He will have to get that squared away a little
better so he has at least one entire day off. This was a particularly busy week
at the church so maybe next week there will be that magic day. Leroy is preaching
Saturday night. He was talking about getting his alb and stole to church. I
suggested he stuff it is his bike bag. He said, “I am thinking about walking.”
A vision of Leroy walking to church in
full garb flapping in the wind, flashed through my mind. “What would people
think of that?” I wondered. Maybe he ought to do that just to see the reaction
in the neighborhood. Somehow I suspect he will just carry it as he planned to
do.
Miracles still happen. I got in the
quickest checkout line at the grocery story! Also would you believe that I
earned six dollars more than Leroy in our current checks? I am the big wage
earner in this family for a little while.
