Adam's Idea On Funeral Meals

My sister, Carol, was in charge of planning a funeral meal this week.  I think she put together a lovely meal.  Several different people were bringing different things, and put together it sounded like a great meal.  I told her I would be happy to make some bars for dessert.  This morning I was packing them up, and Adam asked what they were for.  I explained about the meal.  He said, "oh, was that one of his favorites?"  I said, "I don't know what his favorites were, but this is what they are having for the meal."  Adam replied, "If your having a funeral meal for someone, shouldn't it be the persons favorite foods so you can remember them better?"

Well, I had never thought of it like that.  It sure makes sense to me!

Mild January Days

We have had some mild temperatures the past 2 weekends.   The boys have gotten out and enjoyed this weather.

Last weekend, Austin went outside and...

...buried himself in the garden.  I guess if there is a season to do this, at least it not when I have veggies growing in the garden!

Yesterday, I was out putting some iris bulbs in the ground.  Adam decided it was a good day to...

...climb a tree and read Calvin and Hobbes.  Sounds good to me!

I know these nice days are limited in January.  I'm glad the boys were able to get out and enjoy this limited time break from winter weather!
