Here is a cute Mayberry-like story:
A little boy walks into a drugstore and sets himself on one of the stools at the soda fountain.
"How much does a chocolate sundae cost?" he asks the busy waitress.
"50 cents," she says.
He reaches deep into his pockets pulling out a few coins that he carefully counts.
"How much for just a plain ice cream?" he shyishly asks.
Now a little impatient, the waitress responds with a quick
"40 cents!" After all, she has "more important" customers to wait on.
Again, the boy counts his money,
"Then, may I please have just plain ice cream in a dish?" When she finally brings him the order, he gives her the correct amount.
Later, the waitress returned to clear the boy's dish, and when she picked it up, there were two nickels! She then realized that he had had enough money all along for the sundae, but sacrificed it so that he could leave her a tip!
HAVE A GOOD DAY,

Well, it sure is white around these here parts! It is just so beautiful though. Every branch on every tree is coated with snow, and it gets so quiet with all this snow. I guess the snow muffles all the sounds out there. (Did I say snow enough times up there?)
Alyce, I will be praying that you are directed to the perfect schooling situation for your precious daughter.
MDC, I loved that little story! As Jesus said, "Suffer the little children". And when we do, we are always blessed!
Floyd, prayers for Jan and her surgery, may God direct her physician's hands.
Homemaker, I will be praying for you also, may God direct your physician's hands as well. You must be one heck of a lady to go trudging out in the snow and muck to feed that little goat, so you recover quickly for his(her?) sake! As well as the rest of your family! ;)
Hey Asa, how's things at your end of the porch? How's that little puppy you got a while back doing? He must be a full fledged fur-kid by now!
I'll be requesting your prayers for our trip to Oklahoma. We are leaving at daybreak tomorrow, and we could sure use some traveling mercies, (and a mashed penny ;)) as well as God showing his favor on Pat and his artwork. He has worked so hard, and I would love to see him do well. He is a good man!

Get a pork tenderloin, put about a quarter of an inch of water in the crockpot, put the loin in, put the setting on low and let it cook for 6 to 7 hours. When you take it out it'll fall apart.

Charlotte, Boo would be the one to talk to about Mexico as she has gone there several times on mission trips. Maybe she'll find a computer and check in before your son goes.
I've been to Mexico once, but we visited just across the border of California to Tijuana(don't know if that's spelled right). I hated it. Parents had their kids all over the place using them to try to sell you things, besides all the shopkeepers trying to get you into their shops. I don't like being constantly harrassed when I go somewhere. I was glad to get back to the good old USA, let me tell you. Hope your son's not going there to Tijuana; it's one big open-market.
75 degrees MDC?!! You want to send some of that my way? :)

Thanks for the advice on Mexico. I asked my aunt whose daughter had gone there on mission trips before and she suggested "Have him buy some real vanilla to bring home!" I was reading a great book that a friend of mine had published called No Silver Spoon. He's an older man and he wrote stories about his life growing up during the depression. It's a great book. Anyway, I thought it was interesting that he wrote this: "It was gonna be another scorcher. There was nary a cloud in the sky." Recognize that nary?? Made me smile.

the birds are singing and charlotte tucker it's the kind of day we can enjoy, right? my advise for te mexico mision is to leave your culture at home.think of it as anadventure but stay close when your awayfrom camp andtake new friends you feel you can trust with you , a. language b. when the vendors and etc are trying to rip off tourist.it will be wonderfull if he takes it as an adventure with a cautious approach because being unfamiliar with laws and cultures, but i'm sure he'll be glad he went. CHARLOTTE TUCKER WHERE CAN I GET A COPY OF YOUR FRIENDS BOOK?NO SILVER SPOON? sterling= i agree tijauna, mexico is the arm pit of mexico. new soldiers go there for good times, drugs, filth, lack of morals,law on the take- does that about cover it? as in any foriegn country if you get away from tourist areas and meet, deal with the locals with sincerity, honesty, story sharing etc, you'll have a great time and be sad to leave your new friends. pipeman

Hey Pipe- nope, not headin south of the border this time. Been to Cancun twice with the wife. Stayed at the Moon Palace Resort both times. It's one of those all-inclusive deals. Great place. So if I head back to Mexico, it won't be for racing, it'll be for relaxing. auh2o- good to see ya again. The weather dude here just announced the snow mark for this season...is still stuck at ZERO inches. Oh well, maybe next year. Sterling- good to see you again, too. CT- in case Spot has already gone on his trip, Zaxby's is a chain of restaurants (mainly in the south) that specializes in chicken wings (about 6 or 7 flavors) and what most folks would call chicken fingers. Also feature some really good salads. They have their own special sauce to dip the chicken in as well. Sorry to ramble. Kinda sounds like I'm a food critic or something.

Thanks Rev. Jr.
Good for you, Dixie! You deserve to relax!
I just learned that my parents were in a car accident, on the way out to or coming back from Walmart. They were turning left and some guy smacked into them. They're ok as far as I know. My Dad is home but my Mom is at the hospital with some neck pain I guess. My sister said that they had her in one of those spongy neck things and wanted to do some tests, but said she should probably be home in a few hours after those tests are done.
I know Doctors like to be painfully thorough and everything. But it still worries me though. They aren't exactly spring chickens anymore.
I wish I had a car here to go pick her up when they're done as their car is obviously in the shop now.
I'd like to walk down there with Kai to cheer her up, but I don't know where she would be(having tests or whatnot). And I'm sure she doesn't have a room just being there for tests.
I hate that she is down there alone. My brother is working and my sister has to look after my other brother's(who's also working) 1 year old, so they can't be down there.
So I'm just sitting here waiting for news.
I guess the waiting is the hardest part, as the song goes.
