Lately it's been hard to find anything lighthearted to write about, with Brad in the hospital for almost three weeks and Don in and out of the emergency room for similar stomach problems.
On the bright side JC seems to be feeling surprisingly well, and we have David coming home from Afghanistan in time for the holidays. If all goes as planned he should be back in the states sometime next month for debriefing and then home for a well deserved vacation with his wife and son.
Yesterday as Carol and I were walking into Walmart, I noticed that she had a couple of clothing tags sticking up at the back of her neck. I said,” Hold it a minute Hon,” and proceeded to try and tuck them in. “Darn it,” she said, “ I can never see if those things are sticking out or not!”
A woman walking by, leaned toward us and said, “The secret is having someone who loves you enough to do it for you!” I never got a good look at her, but I was struck by what she said. I seem to remember an old 1950's song with the line, “Little things mean a lot!”
They do!
