"T" is for...

A few weeks ago, my dad's interpreters saw his Tennessee hat and REALLY liked it. So, he called me and asked me to mail him two Tennessee hats. I got this email from him today:

"My two terps say "thanks". They are wearing them proudly.

It might as well been a pot of gold the way they wear them

with pride. This would be a great blog picture, that UT has

fans all over the globe."

What's that smell?

Of course I had to follow up on the lovely story Jon told last night at choir about his stinky socks. If they're left in his gym bag, golf bag, or inside his mowing shoes by the back door, they'll stink. Crunchy socks left in the trunk of his car for weeks and weeks after playing golf in the 100 degree heat are as good as gone. Throw them away. Buy new ones. So, all I can figure...

Stinky Socks = Not my Fault

End of story. :)

Voices from Above

Normally, when I walk through the grocery store or Target or just out somewhere, I never pay attention to the loudspeaker when someone is being paged. I never even hear it anymore. If there is a life-threatening emergency and I am at Wal-Mart, do not page me. I will not hear it. Call me. Text me. I'll hear that. Jack ALWAYS listens to the loudspeaker. He's riding along while I'm shopping and he'll say, "Did you hear that? Someone's oil change is done." Or, "Who is Amy? They just called her name. Is it the Amy I know? I hope she hears it!" Or, "What did they say? I didn't hear that. Mommy, what did they say? Speakers, could you please repeat that? What if they said Jack?" Or, my favorite and probably most aggrevating, when someone by the name of Jack or Angie, not us, is announced, "They called me. I need to see what they need. Speakers, what do you need? I'm listening!"

First Day of School

Last Tuesday was Jack's first day of school. New teachers, some new kids, new room. August brings lots of new changes for little people. Jack recently changed teachers and classrooms for Bible Fellowship (Sunday School), Awanas, Children's Choir, and Mother's Day Out. For a child who likes regularity and consistency, he sure hasn't gotten it for one whole month. What a trooper. Anyway, he has been asking about school since the middle of May, so he woke up ready and excited to go. I'll post a picture as soon as I get my camera back from Jon.

Sorry

Blog neglect. I'll do better.
