Who was the kid at the store with a monkey tail and a tube sock on his hand?




It was Clark.

I love that that kid is my kid.


Today I tried to will autumn to come to south Texas by wearing long pants and a long sleeved shirt. Just made me realize how hot it was even more forcefully.
I really wouldn't mind if there wasn't a mosquito/fireant/gnat attack every time I leave the house.


Which reminds me of this theory that I have long held about creation: I believe that part of our first lessons in the world of spirits was "Creation 101" and we were each involved in the design and creation of some of the things we have on earth. I'm pretty sure that the lion, gorilla and owl were all created by deity and I like to think that I had something to do with the daffodil. However, I think that most insects were created by the 1/3 that never planned to make it this far anyway. A precursory curse.

What do you think you helped design? (Posted by Jan, not Ben)

Hot pink Gerber Daisy and Butterflies. They make the world a prettier place.

Oooh. I like this post. I'll have to give it some more thought. But, I think I helped invent cookie sheets. (Do those count?)

Or, if you're talking nature--gravel. I really like the sound of gravel crunching under my feet as I walk on it. Weird, I know.

I love that Diana. I would say, Aspen trees. I love the gold color they get in autumn and I love that they regenerate themselves into groves, as if to make the golden point more poignant.

However, I would like to see a picture of that kid

Chocolate. I mean cocoa bean plants. They had to have those in a place like Eden, right?

I've actually heard this theory confirmed by one of the higher-ups in the church. Don't remember who though. I'd like to think I was on the committee for the color orange and for the invention of sugar.

Hey I just thought you should know what happened on facebook just now. Someone must have hacked into your account because it showed you online and the person started a chat with me and said they were stranded in London (posing as you of course) and asked me for money. The person said they were robbed at gun point, but "thank God" they had their lives and passports. I don't think you talk like that so I knew it wasn't you and I told the person I wouldn't give them any money unless they could tell me how "you" knew me. At that point the person disappeared and must have deleted me from your friends because now you don't show up on my list. Anyway I hope none of your other friends fall for it...just thought you should know.

oh no! Thanks for the info!

In response to "Valerie's Mom"--you also started a chat with me. I wasn't there to get it, but considering I was shocked you even started a convo with me in the first place--it was probably the same situation.

Crazy! Let us know how this all gets figured out That is really weird.

Diana said...

I don't mean "Shocked" like you are too good to talk to me :) We just don't talk regularly on FB if at all--so it was unexpected.
