Today I kissed a pig. Twice. On the nose.

"Daisy" weighs 125 pounds, and was at our public library for the children's reading program. So guess who got to kiss the pig! The Library Goddess, of course!

Words cannot describe the experience. Or the face of the kids who were watching the spectacle. (Or the face my husband made when I told him that I had been kissing someone else...but he didn't have to worry about it, cause he was a pig!)

So far this has been the highlight of my summer...(not counting the birthday weekend with the grandkids).

Everyone should do it...once...(tell me again why I did it TWICE??????)

No matter what age you are...money is a worry. It's easy to say, "God will provide." It's harder to really believe it.

But in the past few years God has proven to me that He has his "finger in my pie!" Ever heard that expression before? To me, it means that God is in total control. He knows what is happening, when it will happen, why it happens, and how it will turn out.

So why are we spending so much time worrying? I guess we're just human! So say a little prayer right now and thank God for your many blessings...it'll be OK...it always is....

I discovered something that should have been obvious. Probably WAS obvious to everyone else....(sigh)....

I cleaned the kitchen last night (not that I don't do that anyway...and quite frequently!) - but last night I cleaned it for the first time WITH MY GLASSES ON.

Funny how wearing glasses brings the world into focus, isn't it? Focus???? Is that what I'm calling this epiphany????

OK...Ok...ok...(this is my meek tone of voice)...from now on I'll wear my glasses WHILE I clean the kitchen. Sorry to my family and friends that have put up with....well..."substandard" conditions prior to this revelation.

When it comes to my mother-in-law I am blessed. I am REALLY blessed. You know how comedians love to rip mothers-in-law apart? I don't have one of those.

This sweet, wonderful lady adopted me with no reservations and total love. When my parents moved away and left me behind to complete college, this angel on earth would come by my duplex and offer to DO MY LAUNDRY!

Other women talk about their moms-in-law...ranting or despairing about how impossible it is to communicate or get along. I just nod my head in sympathy and say a prayer to God to thank Him for the lady that DID become my mom. Not just a mother-in-law...but a MOM.

She just called, and my husband is out on the back porch telling her about his week and exchanging news. And I'm in here at the computer sharing the news that this lady has my heart and my love...she's the BEST! And I let her know it...
