The "Love Day" Report

RJ2 has spent a good amount of time, lately, on the Nick Jr. website. One of her favorite stories to watch is a Blue's Clues episode on "Love Day." She has figured out that after her birthday comes "Love Day." (Cards, but no singing or candles!)

We had another enjoyable "Love Day" this year.

Dad and RJ2 exchanged cards. (I was so proud of RJ2 writing without help!)

Dad and CJ exchanged cards. CJ and RJ2 got a fancy homemade card from Grandma as well.

Cards and TULIPS! How Springlike!!

Chocolate for Dad, from the girls. Girls got chocolate from Dad.
(Mom got coffee! Dad got beef jerky!)

Lots of chocolate from Grandma and Grandpa!

And, of course,

Heart-shaped pizzas!

Lots of love on "Love Day"!

Hey, you didn't mention that you too got tulips today. :-) Very nice indeed. And I also got godiva chocolates. Mmmmm.

I love the baseball themed chocolate for CJ. Fits her like a glove...a baseball glove.

Good writing for RJ2!

Beef jerky?
COFFEE!!!!! Mmmmmm.

Happy "love" day! I so enjoyed getting a glimpse of the special cards, candies and creations. I especially loved the pizzas!! Very clever indeed.

Although I agree with Kelly, beef jerky? I hope it was at least heart shaped?

Can you believe it's snowing again up here. Luckily it's not sticking. If school's canceled tomorrow I think I'll drop my kids at school anyway!
(Just kidding. I really wouldn't do that. Well, I probably wouldn't.)

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...

When I was 45....

I t was a very good year! (Yep, celebrating again! I hijacked my own blog--LOL!) The glass is half full, and things have never looked more browniful! Awesome day on tap.... sunshine, take-out barbecue for dinner, cake.... Thanks for celebrating with me! Enjoy.... ( Let it rise....One of my all-time favorite praise songs! )

Did You Find a Directing Sign?

I drove downtown a couple weeks ago to make a hand-off to a friend who was hosting an event. As we traded a couple of quick comments trunk-side, she invited me to join in her activity. I thanked her but declined saying, "I've already made one trip downtown this week." I grew up living 20 miles away from New York City. Outside of my Dad bringing us in to work at his college or my aunt taking us to Broadway shows every so often, we almost never went there. Later, I worked in Chicago and managed the trains and buses in and out of the city for five years -- until I took a job in the 'burbs. Now, going to the city is largely for entertainment purposes, and I tend not to be the driver for those occasions. Despite what you might be intimating, I do not dislike cities. They truly do have a quality and magnetism all their own. But me DRIVING in the city is another story entirely. And life today seems like a nonstop ride in the city.
