Dear Family,
The survival of the fittest was demonstrated in
our house this week. Skyra our cat has
been doing her job too well. She brought
in 4 live mice and one dead within two days.
She would then drop and play with the live ones while the mouse hid and
the entire family had to help by moving furniture around. Everything is fully swept. UGH!
The solution was simple. Our cat
door locks. Now she can get out no
problem but Skyra needs permission to get in.
Now I check every time she wants in.
If she has a mouse she’s not allowed in.
She did have a mouse a couple of days ago and I was very glad to see it
run away and her give chase. Too many
presents for my taste.
In all this Adriel rescued me once and Bobby
did twice with the live critters.
Ugh.
On another note, we had several wonderful
family dinners this week. Bobby enjoys
choosing the menu and I continue to be glad to clean up. It is good to have peace.
Adriel had a fever for a couple of days. She was afraid it was COVID so she was
tested. Her happy dance when the test
came back negative was heartfelt and wonderful.
We have a healthy fear and Adriel does not want to hurt anyone.
To differentiate her skateboard from another
person who had the same board, Adriel painted some of the grip tape on top of
her skateboard. I mentioned that to an
employee at a skate shop called Caake and he became excited. Art is fun.
Adriel has great talent.
Adriel made me proud this weekend. Seth felt concerned because he crunched her
car a little with the truck he drives.
He was willing to pay for repairs but didn’t know how much it would
cost. After talking with me about if he
should tell her or not he went to Adriel and confessed. She looked at it the next day and told him
not to worry about it. She is not
concerned with imperfections or anything that is only cosmetic. I delight that she is down to earth. People are way more important than things and
Adriel modeled this beautifully.
Our church’s Trunk or Treat event was
delightful. I have such fond memories of
days gone by. The happy smiling, “Thank you’s”
melted my heart and reminded me of when my kids were small. The smiles, excitement, and delight warmed my
heart. What a fun holiday!
May you find joy in each season and each
special day. May you delight in all God
has for you, may his peace that passes understanding be in and with you through
and through.
Much love!
Cristy
