Dear Family,
It’s
fun to have a week with celebration!
People are graduating, Seth turned 15, and
we have been married 22 years now. What
a week!
Seth was able to mow the lawn
this week, and I am so glad he’s that
big. I came home one day and told Seth,
“I want a great big hug!” He said, “OK”
and it was sweet. He’s a gentle giant. Later on,
I went to my room and even though I promised myself I would NEVER talk to an
animal with a high voice I did it. I do
it. I talk to Ripley high pitched and
because Seth heard that voice he came into my room and had to pet her
also. Ripley
is so fun – she just takes it in.
She looks at a human and then flops down. She will even do this on stairs, Ripley will
flop down a couple of stairs, no problem,
to show us she is ready to be petted. It’s
adorable.
Seth enjoyed his Birthday of
pretty much nothing special. He didn’t
want a cake; he didn’t want any visitors,
he didn’t want singing (I did it anyway to him saying, “Stop!”) When I mentioned that sometimes people get
spankings for their Birthday he was
surprised and said he definitely did not
want spankings. “Why would anyone do
that?!??” Seth did enjoy spending some
cash and was content. He also enjoyed a
shrimp dinner and a Blackberry milkshake. I did notice some things I could fix for Seth,
and he appreciated that.
Seth and Bobby did help me weed
last week – I forgot to mention it. It’s
crazy how fast weeds grow in the spring.
They are very happy.
Bobby has his entire summer
planned out, and it’s nice to see the
calendar.
Bobby and I enjoyed some time at
the beach this week. We celebrated our
22 years with wonderful walks on the beach, relaxing, and enjoying yummy
food. It is so nice that the kids are
old enough to take care of themselves.
Although . . . Adriel did want to
drive to Portland for Krispy Kreme’s free Donut day. My texted response was, “No driving to Portland while you aren’t feeling
so hot, when you have a test tomorrow
when you are taking care of your brother, when we are out of town, and it’s just for a dog but. So not
healthy!”
Autocorrect
made that funny.
Adriel had an interview this
week, and she said she got the job. Yeah!
Adriel enjoyed going out with me
to Arby’s. I am glad she likes my
company and is willing to talk to me,
especially if there is food involved.
She is very sweet and feels the same as I do about school. We are so ready for it to be done.
She also wants a piranha even though we won’t get her one. I mentioned sarcastically that some people
think cats will kill us. She said, “I
don’t want a piranha to pet
it!”
May you enjoy the people you
encounter, the work you do and nature all
around. May you find peace where you are
and may you bloom, grow and bless those you know.
Much Love,
Cristy
You make laugh and you bless me at the same time!
