Ten Thoughts for a Wintry Tuesday

1. What's up with the weather? We were in the pool on Easter Sunday- had the earliest 90 degree day ever- now it hasn't been out of the 60's this week!


2. The weather's gone to the dogs- ok, not really. This is Roxy. She strayed into my mother's yard 2 weeks ago and set up residence. Since there's not usually many people around at mom's she took the chance to move in at our house. She appears to be a full blooded red heeler. I want to see if she has an owner before we get too attached, though. (Although that's too late for Savannah, I'm afraid.) I have been looking at "lost" posters but I don't want to put up a "found" one. Someone who knows what this dog is worth might claim her when it isn't theirs. I did post a notice on facebook and haven't heard a word. I'll take her by the vet at the end of the week and see if she has a chip.

3. Didn't I say I didn't want another dog yet?

4. I also didn't intend to play church softball right now with things going on around the clock around here. But they called begging last night- you have to have 3 women on your team to play and they only had one. So I went. Didn't do too badly- got two hits and played a mean 2nd base!

5. The boy got his plane tickets today. He leaves for Houston on Monday morning at 7:45am. He'll be there 3-10 days and then board a plane to Iraq. He's really excited. I'm excited for him although I'm trying not to really think about it yet.

6. I'm not directing community chorus this go-round (we share duties because the work for one performance is enormous! Everyone needs a break after that. But I did fill in for the director tonight. I miss it but not with everything else going on!

7. A friend of mine got hurt Sunday playing softball. Took a bad hop at shortstop and tried to catch the ball with her face- to the tune of 25 stitches. Pray for Molly, will you? (And pray that her husband, Jim, will let her play again sometime!)

8. Kippy was talking about glasses today. I took the girl to the eye doctor and she needs a pair. We spent an hour picking out just the right frames and lenses. She is totally excited, and a little mad that she has to wait a week to get them! (And Kippy, I promise- no picking on her!)

9. Susan posted ten thoughts that included how thankful she was for her friends here. Susan, I'm thankful for you, too.

10. If you haven't joined my Bible study and want to check it out, go here. I try to keep it updated every day, but end up missing a day or two here and there.

That's 10- and I'm done for the day. Check in with you folks tomorrow!
