blogging it out

Last night, my husband and I were sitting in church, waiting for the service to start, when we heard some good, upbeat music. You know the kind that makes you dance in your seat. Our shoulders were moving, and our feet were tapping, moves that looked skillful in our heads. In Tanya-fashion, I leaned over and broke the news to him that three decades ago, we would’ve looked at folks like us and thought how uncool their dance moves looked. In Antoine’s fashion, my husband said, “But we are cool.” There was a moment of sitcom silence, then we laughed at ourselves and kept dancing.

This year, while you’re navigating through life, may you find time to laugh from the deepest part of your gut.

Happy New Year!

I’m not exempt! I’m just blogging it out. Oh, and don’t forget Philippians 1:6, And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

My husband and I ran to the cleaners yesterday morning, and while we were there, we decided to go to Vons in search of a snack to eat for our usual weekend movie binge. We noticed the father-son popcorn sellers as we walked into the store, but our brains had already committed to finding a snack in the grocery store’s aisles. Unfortunately, nothing caught our eyes or our stomachs. I think it was I who suggested stopping by the popcorn table.
Upon our approach, we noticed the salted caramel popcorn. After a little small talk, we made our request. And then the father told us the price. TWENTY DOLLARS!!! The little boy was so cute that it almost felt sinful to say, ” Never mind.” It’s the Boy Scouts for crying out loud. I handed him the twenty-dollar bill with a smile. As we walked away, we chuckled under our breath until we got in our car. Yeah, we know it’s a fundraiser and a good cause. We just didn’t know.
Are we the only people who didn’t know that Boy Scout popcorn costs $20?

¹³ And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army of angels praising God and saying, ¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among people with whom He is pleased.”

Something we all need. Happy Thanksgiving!

“. . .So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Matthew 19:6)

Happy 25^th Anniversary to Us (October 16^th)! This post is super late, but better late than never, right?

My husband and I have reached another numeric milestone—the big 2-5. To celebrate, we had planned to take our dog, Boots, RVing, but she’s not fond of riding in vehicles. So, we had to settle on a cruise to Bermuda, which wasn’t too shabby. LOL Of course, we had a great time and took advantage of every adventure.

I say the same thing every year, and it’s as true as the first time I said it. We are grateful for our years together and look forward to the future.
