PRINCESS OF THE KINGDOM OF RANDOM

We interrupt this monologue to quote just one thing said by the resident 3-year-old while mountain-climbing yesterday – that is, playing on the tall peaks of pushed snow on either side of our driveway. They were so tall, in fact, that when she was standing up there, her feet were at the level of my shoulders. Now, THAT’S a snowfall!

She talked the entire hour of play out in the cold . . . commenting on barn cat TiGrrr’s battle with a little snow clod on the icy driveway . . . giggling as handfuls of dry snow disintegrated in her mitten . . . declaring that she had saved me from a dinosaur named “Ty Wrecky Rex” by laboriously rolling a snow-lump in his general direction.

And then she uttered this utterly random comment:

“Did you know when a boy sees a bee-oo-tee-ful girl, his eyes turn into hearts?’’

How would I know? Don’t answer that. Guess I’ll just have to take her word for it.

Prayer request: A special auntie in Florida who never fails to send the six of us birthday cards has a birthday today. Unfortunately, she has to go see the doctor about an ongoing health problem. Father, give her an extra-special present with a good report, and improved health for herself and her dear hubby. (Psalm 42:11)
