Well, I finally went down to visit my sister.
She's been bugging me to do it since, oh, I don't know...... Thanksgiving?
So yeah, I went down there, boyfriend in tow. For the weekend, he was known as 'uncle Brett'. He he... I like the sounds of that.
Anyway, we visited with Jenna while we were down there.... and MATT!!!! Oh how Matt is looking forward to school. I'm not all that much really. I'm enjoying my summer.
We chilled out Friday night, Saturday we went shopping and played in the yard with the girls. We also watched Million Dollar Baby too... VERY good movie!
Sunday we went to church, and then went to the pool with the Girls and Lynton.
Cohen is very cute these days! He's gained a lot of weight since I last saw him, so he gets lots of nicknames... I like HAMHOCKS myself... that's the bestest.
Jorgia is still really tiny. She's a smart little tookie too!
Taelin is getting so big!!!! And now she can handwrite and read and do all sorts of stuff! She's growing up into a lovely lady now! I can't believe That she's getting so big now, it makes me feel old.
So yeah, I had a wonderful time! Of couse, I would always say that I had a great time.... It's true though. Brett had a good time too. Anyway, sorry I'm so boring today! Off I go.

My Midsummer Ramblings
Point One:
It's amazing to see the faith of the elderly who are Christians. As most of you should know, I've started work as an assistant to the activities director at a personal carehome, known as The Sherwood. It's a neat place, with about 40 or so residents. It's a secular place, but religion was such a large part of life back in the day. There's many people there who still have all their ducks in a row, and there's some who insist that they need to get going home. I love them! Anyway, as I get to know some of them, I'm learning that there are some devout Christians hanging out there. One lady sat with me and talked to be about John 3:16 and how important the cross was. She is definitely with it, and the faith that she has is incredible!
Another lady I've been visiting with is so old that she doesn't even really know where she is. For those of you at school, it's Uncle Henry's mom. Yeah. But she really is an amazing lady. I've seen her at my mom and dad's church for many years now, but she doesn't really have much recollection of me. What interests me the most about seeing her is that even though she is deteriorating and can tend to be quite forgetful- she has it so ingrained in her routine that every morning she opens her Bible and studies it. The other day I asked what she was reading about, and she had no idea. But she insists on reading the word every day. I'm sure she's defintely getting fed.
Point Two:
Work minus air conditioning = one huge headache. And drowsiness. And sickness. I feel terrible!
Point Three:
I'm 21 now! I had a fairly normal day on my birthday this year. Led worship, watched Brett play baseball, had supper in Hamiota with Brett's folks, ate ice cream. Yeah!
Point Four:
No more sev! I'm done!
I miss people there, some I don't. Tina and I have already gone for supper. It was fun!
Point Five:
I can rollerblade! I didn't really know that I could. But I went out with Brett, and he didn't really laugh at me, and I didn't bif it or anything.
Point Six:
Leslee and Matt!!!!! Are you two free like maybe next weekend for a visit? Brett, you can come too if you want...
That's about it. My head is killing me! Damn this heat!

My Crusade
People, I have an astonishing discovery that may very well save the Catholic Church as we know it today.
As we are all very well aware, the Catholic church has been riddled with difficulties. Accusations have been made. We all know which one I'm talking about... do I really have to say it? No? Ok. Good.
So usually, the solution to this 'problem' is to play '3 Priest Monte'. They move them around as soon as a problem arises, and no one knows which one is the Queen. He can cause havoc in the name of the Lord in some other troubled town, visiting old ladies, cleaning the pipe organ, and sullying the holy water; all the while turning choirboys into the next generation's cross dressers and fashion consultants who throw hissies in LA.
This isn't a solution, it's a bandaid! You know what my solution is?
Eunuchs. If you don't know what one is, look it up. Believe me. I think it's a good idea. Think about it, then sign my petition to the RCC to have all Priests become eunuchs. It could be fun. They could have 'eunuch parties' in seminaries.
Of course, after you look up the word eunuch, you'll realize that this is all a joke. A very poignant, befitting, determinate joke.
