It's late, the house is quiet, everyone is sleeping except Joel.. and he's watching the Chronicles of Narnia. Bored, I was just looking at my site meter, and upon seeing that a visitor had looked at quite a few pages on my site, I looked to see where they came in at, and it was Donna in her coffin. More curious now, thinking it was a relative, I clicked to see what referred them and found that they came in from a Yahoo search - they were looking for "beautiful coffins".
It was the first time today that I laughed out loud. They were looking for beautiful coffins at almost midnight and there's my aunt Donna. I couldn't help it, imagining them wince because that had to be unexpected, just made me laugh.
God above I am warped.
Today was the 24th and I put 17 roses on Mamaw's grave. I can't believe it's been 17 years.
I visited 4 cemeteries today - and I took over 300 pictures by day's end.
It seems like I've been on the go all day. I had to go with Sarah to visit a "water hole".. a creek on the side of the road. It looked crystal clear, but I couldn't help wonder what the heck kinds of bacteria were thriving in it, waiting to get into a scratch in the skin. Can we say paranoia? I did get some pretty pictures of the kids there though. They were having a grand time throwing rocks into the water.
Mikyla didn't go to school today, but Jordyn, her cousin did. They go to the same school, and they had an assembly today to pass out more awards, and Jordyn came home and had to call to tell Mikyla that she'd won the award for the best behavior in her class. She was the only one who hadn't gotten a "bad choice" chastisement the whole year. I was so proud of her, she IS a very well behaved little girl! Boy did her little chest puff out when she found out about that. :)
Her teacher had this little bag made up for her students, I found it in the car this morning, and peeked inside.. it was the cutest thing - a note saying how she enjoyed getting to know each student, and it explained what was in the bag. A bandaid for the ouchie Mikyla may get this summer, a pencil and eraser for writing the teacher a letter.. a recipe for play dough to make on a rainy summer day, a sucker to show how sweet Mik was..and hershey kisses for kisses and hugs when needed. I thought that was precious - it had to take her some time to make those bags up for those kids.
I went and bought her a few trinkets and put them in a gift bag with a thank you teacher card from Mikyla and left it in the office for her. I hope she gets it.
Bonnie brought me the movie "Walk the Line" the Johnny Cash story to watch a while ago, I think I'll post some of my pics here and then go watch it. G'nite World!
