Maybe I Need a Limerick Alarm

It was Friday all day yesterday and I completely forgot to write a limerick. It’s too late now. Saturday Limerick just doesn’t have the same ring. Next week will have to be soon enough.

I just got back from a trip to Greenbrier to pick up some beef. Becky took a quick trip to Michigan and brought a cooler full of ground beef back for me from dad’s house. They are heading out of town this morning once again, so I wanted to get up there and get it before they left. Aron joined me and sang his way up the interstate. At one point he stopped singing and said, “mom, I was singing like a daddy. Now I’m going to sing like an Aron.” But he never did sing like an Aron for me. I was curious what the difference would be.

Kris said that the two older boys played really well while I was gone. That was part of the reason I made sure to take one of them with me. I’ve found that two of them playing is pretty peaceful but adding the third boy (no matter which one of them it is) causes strife. Not sure why exactly but I have my theories.

There are a couple of errands yet to run, which Kris is planning to do I believe, I have some cleaning to accomplish and then we’ll have guests this afternoon. It’s always nice to be able to invite people over early on a Saturday. They are coming around 4 and then we’ll have visiting time before dinner as well as a little after and still be able to get to bed at a timely hour. That’s important when you leave for church at 7:00 a.m. on Sundays.

We also had guests on Thursday night. A family from church that lives in our area but we hadn’t really known them until they visited our Sunday school class. They have since become members of the class and we enjoy hanging out with them.

Well, my coffee cup is empty and breakfast is eaten, so I’m going to leave my roost here and keep myself busy for a while so that I have more to write about. I think my boys need some encouragement cleaning their play room too.

Oh…one last thing for you. After picking Owen up from school on Thursday I saw a road block ahead and joined the other cars in the left lane and even into the turning lane to avoid three little calves that were scared and congregating closely on the right side. Aw. I know this picture is terrible, but in the interest of keeping traffic moving I didn’t want to slow down enough to actually take a good picture. My phone reached my hand quicker than my little camera so this is all I got. I wish you could see the expression on the officer’s face. The most sincere look of annoyance I think I’ve ever witnessed…do you think it was because I was taking a picture? Priceless.
