60 IS THE NEW 40!!!!!

"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Psalm 62:1,2. Amen!!!! I love that scripture and I believe it with my whole heart, so why do I let myself be shaken? I'm glad He loves me just the way I am, thank-you Lord for you grace!
After that great scripture, I am going to tell you that I told Boo a lie! I have asked forgiveness, but I'm sure I will do it again. You see I had a birthday recently. BTW (that is text talk for By the way) did I tell you that Jim's birthday and my birthday are on the same day!! Same year even, pretty neat huh! This last birthday was a rather big one, it was a year that ended with a 0, so you know it was big. Well, when Boo asked how old I was I just blurted out 39! He was happy with that so that's what I'm sticking with. I'm sure that someday he will hear Mookie say her age and he will realize I couldn't be 39, but I will deal with that then! I was trying not to celebrate this year, but Boo really reallllly wanted us to have a birthday cake, so I made an angel food cake with 7 minute frosting, sooooooooo good. I have had that very cake each of my 39 years, it makes me happy to eat it!! Go eat something that makes you happy!!

Boo Is Boxing!

"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior." Habakkuk 3:17,18. I am taking the idea of having a scripture at the beginning of each blog from a sweet friend who has blessed me with her pure devotion to God. Undergoing cancer treatments, bone marrow transplant, and all that goes with it, her faith is like a shining beacon for all to see. Thanks Becky! God Bless You! I will be praying that you are blessed by these.
Boo has started boxing!! I know it sounds crazy to put an active little boy into boxing, but it is supposed to be good for him. It is sponsored by the police department here in town. Today is Boos second practice. He is anxious to show everyone his "new moves". They haven't taught any moves yet so we told him to keep the new ones to himself. Oh, I hope he does. All they have done so far is exercises, not Boos favorite thing to do, I hope he will just listen and do what he is told instead of trying to teach the class.

Why Did We Get A New Car?

We purchased a "new" car. It is not really new, but it is new to us. We traded in the little cute Vibe that I drove. I'm not really sure why we did this, but we did. In the Vibe, Boo in the back seat, could not see the speedometer....in this car he can. Not so good!!! I constantly hear "Approaching 40,... approaching 45,... now 50... Oh, now its back to 45." I'm not really loving having him telling me my speed all the time. Sometimes, you see, I am going too fast and I know it, but don't want him to. I'm wondering if this is Gods way of slowing me down. Whatever, it has worked, I don't want him saying "Mama, your over the speed limit!" I might trade cars back with Jim, and I'll drive the Suburban, it won't fit in our garage, but maybe Boo can't see my speed, I'll have to check that out. He is loving school and seems to be doing real well. His teacher called one afternoon and I almost cried! She was just calling all the parents and telling us how much she enjoyed having them in class, I was very relieved, I thought she was going to tell me something really bad! She seems nice and sweet AND she likes Boo! She said he is so polite, and very compassionate, a joy to have in class!!! I didn't question her I just agreed, but maybe she didn't have the right parent....I'm just kidding, he is all that and more, I'm glad she sees it too. From now on I am going to start each blog with a scripture that God puts on my heart, I pray they will bless you!

A Funny "Little Bubba " Story.

Today my oldest grandchild started preschool. Last year he just went 2 mornings a week, this year its 3 mornings, he is so big. He was very excited because he already has an invitation to a birthday party!! He has lots of new friends, and had a really great time. He thinks he already knows everything that they will try to teach him so...there you go!! Since he already knows everything, I guess his parents are just sending him to develop his social skills. The other night they were watching a baseball game on t.v. and a fast food place was advertising a sandwich. When it came on "Little Bubba" said "I love this commercial!! Maid-French Maid, Toast-French Toast, and Kiss--French Kiss" (this was all said with a funny accent). He laughed and told his mom that "French Kissing was when you tackle someone and kiss them, how funny." Mom & Dad agreed and said no french kissing in their house!! I think his social skills are up to snuff. I hope Mookie and favorite son-in-law are ready for him, he is going to keep us all busy!! He will win everyone with his bright blue eyes and super smile!! (or he will talk your leg off). I love him soooo much!
