~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were watching Swan Lake done by Chinese Acrobats and the following dialogue takes place, the subject being the Swan Princess.

Ruby: I'd be so amazed if that were my daughter
Georgia: I'd be so amazed if that were me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mom: How many kids are you going to have?
Ruby: I'm thinking 2 or 3....cuz I don't wanna go pickin' them up after school!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We'd just been having scripture study and talking about Saul. Mom did not hear what Lydia asked Ruby as she was engaged in her own conversation with Dad, but right after Lydia asked Ruby, Mom said this.

Lydia (to Ruby): Why do you have one shoe on?
Mother: ....mental illness.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lydia: We are having blonde brownies.
Ruby: Well, I don't like those.
Lydia: Are you sure? Maybe you aren't remembering correctly.
Ruby: Maybe you aren't remembering correctly that I just said I don't like those!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ruby: Lydia shouldn't drive! It's dangerous!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lydia: You have no manners!
Ruby: Yes I do! I have 55 manners!.......More than 55. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dad (to me): What do you want for dinner?
Me: I don't know.
Dad: Hashbrowns?
Me: Sure.
Dad: What should we have with them?
Ruby (off to the side): Ketchup!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ruby: You should do some fun things right now because after you die you can't do as many fun things as when you are alive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is something from scripture study on the morning of 6/8/10, said by our little cousin Noelle, who was staying with us for a few days.

Someone reads 1 Sameul 16:7 "But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."

So now Dad is discussing how we can see what someone's heart looks like.
Dad: Can we open up their skin and see inside their body to look at their heart?
Everyone just sort of stares at him....
Dad: What about Noelle's heart? Can we open up her skin and see it?
Noelle then pops up after not listening since she heard her name.
Dad: Can we see your heart Noelle?
Noelle: No.
Dad: Well, then how can we see people's hearts?
Noelle (after a pause and much contemplation): An X-ray! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Julia: But you hate water!
Morgan: I like lakes.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THIS IS NOT SERIOUS....just in case you were wondering.

Lydia: So remember children, if you're ever very hungry, don't eat Mom.
Mom: Oh! Well, if I'm already dead, you can eat me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me: Are you going to get your wisdom teeth out any time soon?
Laurel: Probably when I'm 40 like dad.
Me: And then you'll be whining about it on your daughter's 16th birthday.
Laurel: No....because I'm a woman. That's what men do. That is why they don't have babies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Julia: did anything good happen tomorrow?
Me: uh.......check your tenses dear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mabel: I want my kids to be British....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Georgia (talking about a yard we were weeding): This grass isn't as comfy as ours.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were reading a bunch of quotes off of a quote calander and Julia was getting tired of all the quotes about flowers.

Julia: What's with people talking about flowers? Just because they need growth and cultivation....humans need growth and cultivation!
slight pause
Julia: Wait....that's not what I meant.
Everyone bursts out laughing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Julia (reading a quote): "I'm here to out live you"......what?....oh! Haha....never mind. "I'm here to live out loud."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mercy, Justice, and Unmerited Grace

Last night some of my family members and I sat down to watch the movie, "Just Mercy."  It follows the story of a young lawyer, newly graduated from Harvard.  As an African American raised in the north, he goes to the south and meets a new kind of opposition to his work of representing prisoners on death row.  This young lawyer takes on an African American client accused of murdering a 19 year old white girl some years earlier.  Throughout his investigation he find unmistakable evidence of his client's innocence and uses the justice system as it was created to give the accused man a fair trial.  Yet, he is faced with overwhelming opposition from the white community -- police, judges, and residents alike. Despite that, this young lawyer fights the fear and racism he and his client and the African American community face.  To this day he and his team have saved over 140 people from death row. This powerful film brought tears to my eyes throughout multiple scen...

A remedy for being tossed among the billows of life

Today!  Ah ha! My car : I should take care of it, right?  And since I'm handing it off to Lydia soon it should probably be in tip top shape when she gets it.  I took it to the auto shop today just to have them check it out and see if there was anything they needed to fix.  Initially the mechanic said a diagnostic test would be $20, and then anything they find will be added to that, but they'd let me know before they did anything. "Okay! Sounds good!" and I left my baby with them. Then they call me back a bit later and tell me my clutch is having issues, but it's still drivable.  Replacing it would cost about $600.  I already knew that though, so I just said not to do anything with that.  And then they mentioned something else, but the mechanic said, "If I were you, I'd just drive the heck out of it until it breaks and then replace the broken parts or get a new car." Well, thanks for your honesty Mr. Mechanic.  How much will the services yo...

New growth

  These plants, gifts from people dear to my heart, have witnessed everything that has happened in my apartment over the last five months.   You can see some of their leaves have turned yellow from inconsistent watering habits on my part.   About a month ago I started watering them consistently again and you can see some new, beautiful green growth because of that. Today as I stood in my kitchen with so many thoughts running running running through me I felt them encourage me a little bit as they shared some wisdom with me: Our yellow leaves are from a lack of water, yes, but you didn’t give up on us.   While we’re changed because of that period of drought, we are currently thriving and bringing forth beautiful new growth because you started watering us again.   That growth is slow and doesn’t come after a week or two of the change in watering, but it does come.   Giving us time is just as important as giving us water in those moments you feel it’s...
