"Can I help you, ma'am?"


Skipper

It looks like Simon is saying, "Can I help you, ma'am?"

This is a boat that our good friends the Taylors gave Simon for his birthday. They gave it to him when we saw them this summer in Tennessee. Simon LOVES the boat--on land or on water!

SIDEBAR:
Have you ever read Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place? In it she shares how God miraculously never let her bottle of medicine run empty until she did not need it anymore. And then there's the story of the widow's oil in the Bible.

Well, you've heard all of those stories and they may seem so remote. But we have Sam's Brand Plastic Wrap (Saran Wrap.) I promise we have been using the
same box/roll since we were MARRIED over 5 years ago! (I am not necessarily contributing this in all seriousness as a supernatural work of the Lord. I also buy different fun boxes with different colors from now and then and so there could be a logical explanation.)
BUT WHO KNOWS????

My friend Lisa thinks the Lord blesses them through appliances that just never give out. I can't claim that one since our over the range microwave went out in July! Now, that was a lesson in patience. What better appliance to take from someone less skilled in patience?

Does anyone else have a widow's oil or saran wrap blessing?

Oh, thanks, Karen. We took him swimming in the 'big pool.' That's his swim hat to protect his little scalp!

Hey, Ashley, are you calling him fat? Cause if you are, I am going to stand you up at Starbucks tomorrow morning...
