Not Quite Bullets

I had a blog that I wanted to post, but my scanner won't scan it correctly. I taught Z how to draw a smiley face. He did one all by himself, completely with a nose (his idea). That's pretty good, right? Three year olds don't normally know how to draw a face, right? (don't answer that - just let me believe it). I wanted to scan it to show you, but my scanner wouldn't scan the whole picture. Wait, I know photoshop. I could scan it twice and merge the two together. Nah, too much work. You'll just have to believe me.

Yesterday was Lonnie's funeral. It was such a sweet funeral. A little bit of tear jerking, a little humor, a lot of God. Brandon gave the message and compared aspets of Lonnie to God. Not to make Lonnie seem perfect, but to share a bit of his life and a bit of the Good News. I saw a lot of old friends. Everyone looks so different. I kept seeing people and thinking, I wonder who that is. Then I'd look again, and say, oh wow, that's so-and-so. I wonder if people thought the same about me. Do I look THAT different? (say, no, b/c most of them looked old and fat) As a mom now, it was really hard seeing Lonnie's mom. I can't imagine what she must be going through. She thanked me for being his friend. That's how I feel towards my kids' friends - thankful. I so love it when other kids or even adults are sweet to my boys. She was so sweet and seemed to be handling things well.

If you made it through that last paragraph, I found a new website. Pandora.com. (thanks Jenny) You can type in a favorite music artist and it'll find a radio station that plays their music and similar music. And it's free. I've been listening to holiday jazz while I work. It's not even thanksgiving yet. Think I'll get tired of it? nah. I think I might even build a fire today.

Looks like I have a winning photo! I'm going to start working on my card this weekend. I'm so excited! Thanks for voting!
