Food Taste Tester

Wednesday we were coming home and Bayli was discussing becoming a forensic anthropologist. She said she could be a nutritional anthropologist, but she really didn't want to study that much about food, however she would like to be a food taste tester. I replied "Bayli I don't think there is much call for a lactose intolerant taste tester with reflux." She kind of harumphed and said "Well, I could taste test allergy free foods!" I hadn't actually thought about that, but she's got a point.

Be specific

On Sunday trying to get ready for church Bayli was dragging her feet and it was driving me crazy. She kept going and reading a book instead of finishing whatever it was she was supposed to be doing. I finally had enough and told her that if I caught her reading that book one more time I would throw it in the trash. I go on to finish getting ready and come back in the living room a little bit later and what do I see but her reading a book. I say "what did I tell you I was going to do?" She said "that was this book (points to one laying on the couch) not this one (points to one in her hand)." This must be the "getting off on a technicality" they talk about at trials. Next time I will say "a book" not "that book" to cover any book she may be holding at that time. Smart aleck kid! I really don't know where she gets it from.

Can you hear me now?

I went to Verizon Saturday and two hundred and seventy odd dollars later walked out with a network extender. We have to drive about a mile either direction from our house before we get any kind of cell service. That has always been very annoying as everybody we call is long distance and if we were able to use our cells it would all be free with mobile to mobile. Well I took that puppy home and hooked it up with a call to tech support and voila, yes you can hear me now. Tech support probably thinks I'm crazy as I practically squealed with delight when I saw actual bars on my phone and not the words "no service". It really has already been wonderful calling people on the cell and not racking up long distance charges!!!!

Praise the Lord!!

Our church and a couple others hosted a Wildgame dinner for men on Saturday. We had it in a tiny elementary school and we sold about 600 tickets, but the Lord provided more than enough food and plenty of space and time to feed everybody. We saw 23 men and children saved!!!!! The speaker was Bob Reccord. He is a wonderful speaker. The dinner and exhibits were a success and we are making plans for the 2nd annual Wildgame dinner next year. Keep praying that it is an even bigger success than this year!
