I would SO love that. In her handwriting, of course.

Donating $20! What a blessing.

Who won?

We never had cell phones when our kids were little (they didn't come in the rotary dial model) but texting your spouse a picture of a "blow-out" is more appropriate than saving the gift for when they get home to see it.

And the word 'bovine,' even if used endearingly as she feeds said offspring (prior to blow-out) should probably not be uttered. (snort!)

How many WWF accounts does katdish have? #holdout

And I'm not letting Alece get by with coming to town again without meeting her! Have a wonderful time!

"Clamoring for things we can't sustain." How did you know? Very powerful, Ryan.

Gorgeous tabouli! Can't wait for the flatbread recipe. My biggest "miss" is Israeli couscous. Somebody needs to recreate that in GF form. Until then, I'll play with quinoa.

You are the picture of grace. His grace. Wherever he is, your dad should be proud. What a loss that he can't enjoy your beautiful family. And Happy Birthday! You are definitely wrapped in love today.

We have a catwalk thingie on the ceiling above the chairs - it's for access to things like speakers, lights, and such. I look up there every service to see if there's anyone up there watching, and hope they don't decide to plant a camera there. I worry more about lights exploding than speakers falling. That being said, "our seat" is chosen in behind and to the right of a speaker, just in case.

And your wife doesn't knit in church anymore? Because she totally should.

I bemoaned the fact I had to get up and go to work this morning. Thanks for the jolt. I've been called.
