I was really enjoying my spa weekend when the live entertainment showed up. Clyde and Jennie came Saturday afternoon and brought Emerson. Emerson found a lady bug and wanted to keep it. I was giving him one of my “Let it live its life as God intended” speeches. You know, “It’s one of God’s special creatures. If you keep it, it will die. But if we put it in the garden it can eat other bugs and have babies and you can come visit them anytime.” Jim tried a more masculine tactic, “Ladybugs stink.” Emerson looked at him and said, “Yes, they have developed the ability to emit that odor as a natural defense mechanism to keep predators from eating them.” That boy is smart! I shudder to think of the questions he can ask. |

What a treat! I wish I could have been there to make it look like you had three feet. I would have put mine in there somewhere. I sure am proud of our sis and her family,Jim, Jeremy and Justin. I know the good Lord was pleased to see such good work done out of love. Thanks guy for showing such love. We love you all too.
I really liked this story. It is equally wonderful that me and my family are able to share great times and memories with Clyde and Luci.
She is lucky she survived. I guess Clyde was practicing his child rearing skills on Luci. While I was giving Luci her foot massage, I said "You have cut your toe?" Then she went on to point out several places on her body were Clyde had tried to hurt her and was unsuccessful. It was like.. this is the toe I almost cut off where he busted pop bottle, here is the scar on my forehead.. etc..
