Saturday's thoughts
- holding Daisy the Pug in my lap---she's all flat like pancake, a very fat pancake
- going to the grocery store later (more manna), and then buying flowers for the altar---thinking I'll go Shabby Chic this time
- struggling just a tad with arranging the flowers---I'm used to doing an arrangement that looks good on all sides, but with altar flowers, you're making them look good on the side facing out---can't seem to get that straight in my head
- Gary had a caller about my truck today, says he'll call back on Monday---was okay on the price, but we've been at this place before---folks don't always follow through, but will pray heartily that this gentleman has a wonderful weekend and feels generous about parting with some cash afterward :)
- reading some Frederick Buechner....my, my he writes beautiful sentences
- you'd think he was Southern by style, but I believe he was raised up North
- enjoyed sweet Indian boyfriend's graduation last night---and after the service his folks invited oldest daughter and I out to dinner with their extended family to have Chinese with them, their treat!
- curious to be out with a group of Indians, the two of us being the minority
- some of them have very thick accents
- but I will say this---SIB's family is comprised of very strong Christians (with some Hindus thrown in for good measure, who live out of town), and when the men pray (as his uncle did before we ate), there's such a power in their prayers---bold and no-nonsense
- very wonderful
- for those of you with my address, our house is now on G**gle street views---funny because fourth son can be seen walking toward our house---he remembers the day the G**gle truck passed by, last summer---his face is blurred, though
- and our next door neighbor is mowing his grass with one of those push mowers---instant celebrities
- must go make my grocery list---what you can make with manna is limited :)
- I've always visualized manna as looking like cotton candy
- whatever....
