Day One Hundred Seventy One 2013

Clark Kent? No, it’s grandson Elijah who got a kick out of wearing these big horn rimmed frames [no lenses] today during lunch at D.Q. Along with that Mohawk haircut, he could start a new trend.

Day One Hundred Seventy 2013

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
~Socrates

[having a little fun today with filters on Instagram on my iPad mini~~this is one of hubby Neil’s carved faces he tends to collect~~it hangs on our deck rail and I’m amazed it still has its nose~~he looks wise, thus the inspiration for the Socrates quote~~happy middle of the week, y’all!]

Day One Hundred Sixty Nine 2013

Grandson Knox sitting in a ‘big boy’ chair today at lunch.

More fun than pint sized human beings should be allowed to have during lunch.

The Bomb Pop addiction has begun. Begging for Bomb Pops is a habit now. He didn’t even want this one.

Are you taking another picture of me, Gee? [that’s a hard G~~he can’t pronounce Granny yet] He and his mom and dad headed back home this afternoon. House is quiet. The only sound is the Elmo tunes playing inside my head.

Day One Hundred Sixty Eight 2013

Cousins Knox and Elijah enjoyed some Cheerios for breakfast this morning while watching an episode of Scooby Doo. Eighteen month old Knox loves being around six year old Elijah, but not so much the other way around. For now, anyway. I hope they’ll be good buddies one day.

Day One Hundred Sixty Seven 2013

"A righteous man
who walks in his integrity -
How blessed are his sons [and daughters] 
after him."
(Proverbs 20:7, NASB)

My dad, Flynn Mabry, and me when I was two or maybe three years old. He was always so quiet and only spoke when he had something he needed to say, was often described as having the patience of Job, and he loved and provided for his family in a quiet and humble way. But most important of all, he was a Christian man who did his best to live a Christ-like life. This is what I will always remember about him. Wish you were still here, Pop, so I could tell you I love you and wish you a Happy Father’s Day. God bless all the good fathers out there. Hope you enjoyed a very happy Father's Day.
