Friday’s Letters – March 15

friday's lettersDear Blog –  Sweet Mercy I’ve missed you!  I’ve been busy with the living breathing people in my life.  Things are relatively calm[er] now, so DOUBLE YEAH!!  It’s  Friday and I have a few minutes to write a post!!

Dear DirtBike –  Happy Dance! Happy Dance!  You DID it!!  You passed the entrance exam and got into THE High School!!  Don’t get too cocky, now.  You still have to finish the 8th grade. And work with Mrs. R. on developing your comprehension and reading skills over the summer. And clean your room.

Dear Architect –  Oh. My. Gosh.  It was SO FUN to chaperone the trip to Lubbock!!  Yes, I spent most of my time fetching food for that herd of starving teens, finding bandaids, feeding Mr. D’s Starbucks habit, and washing shirts, but who cares?  I was just amazed the entire weekend at how brilliant you kids are.  You built A ROBOT!! And it works!

Robo Vikes Rule!

Robo Vikes Rule!!

The Architect and the Robot

Dear Daughters – It was absolutely, positively fantastic to see you both this week!  I’ve missed you so much, my Darling Girls.

Dear Mr. Pea – Date night was fun.  We really should go out more often without the offspring.

Dear Boys (You too, BigB) – WHY was that so funny?  All I did was walk down the driveway to tell BigB his Mom said to come home for dinner.  All three of you just stood there by the mailbox, looking mischievous and laughing like crazy. I’m looking at you,  walking down the driveway, and then you were practically rolling on the ground – what the heck? DirtBike yells, “Wait! Don’t Move!”. Huh? I looked down, and I’m about to step on a dead armadillo. “It’s What’s for Dinner!”, says The Architect, and the three of you set off on a fresh round of hilarity, laughing so hard you’re gasping for breath. Seriously? What is so funny about a dead armadillo? Not much, really. But your Mom stepping on a dead armadillo? Hysterical, if you’re a teenage boy. I can only be grateful that it had been dead for a long, long time, and there wasn’t much left past the bleached out armor shell.

You may now remove it from the front porch, where it’s sitting up like a begging dog in the flowerpot.

Friday’s Letters – February 22

friday's lettersDear DirtBike and Architect – HA! I saw you with my own two eyes serving food  and clearing tables at the Giving Wings Dinner last night!  The truth is out:  you really do know know it’s done.

Do ya know what this means?

It means that at home, I should never have to remind you ever again to set and clear the dinner table!  Mwahahahaha!!  By the way, you both looked so grown up, working as waiters. You did a great job, not spilling anything on anyone’s lap.  Your Dad and I are very proud of you.

Dear Jim & Kathy –  I am continually astounded, year after year, of the amazing love and generosity that Stephen’s memory inspires.  We are honored to serve the foundation, doing what we can to help make a positive impact in our community.

Dear Linda – You win the prize for best picture ever!

It's SO CUTE!!!

It’s. So. CUTE!!!!

Dear Mr. Elko – Wow.  Just Wow.  Your speech last night was amazing.  The two phrases that are rattling in my head today are “Let go of your need to be right” and “BE a blessing”.  You left me with much to ponder.
