The stories behind the list:

1. Sunday morning as I was singing in the choir, I got tickled at someone in the congregation. They were enjoying singing, and their head was bobbing in time to the cadence of the hymn, but it was more of a wobble than a bob, and something about it struck me funny. I must have been laughing as we sang - as my gaze moved across the congregation, Abigail caught my eye and gave me an I-see-you-laughing-up-there-enjoying-some-good-joke look. Her mouth had a quirk at each corner, and her eyes sparkled mischievously, and it made me start laughing again. I quickly looked away at another area of the auditorium, but the S. family sits right in the middle, so my eyes naturally kept moving across them. But every time I looked at Abigail, we would both start chuckling again, and I finally had to look up at a high place on the back wall to keep from seeing her and continuing to laugh in the choir and look ridiculous!

So Trissy randomly sends me this text yesterday:



Do you see it? It made my day!

2. Monday morning as I was getting ready for the day, I heard Mom at the back door, opening it for something, I'm not sure what. But our three cats were at the door waiting to be fed, and I heard Mom greet them with something like, "Well good morning kids! How are you this morning? Yeah, I know, Trissy's coming to feed you. Just a minute." It was so funny and so nice, it just made me smile!

3. We went to Hobby Lobby briefly the other day to get a frame for a pen-and-ink I did of the White Carnation. The smell of that store is like Fall, Christmas, and craft supplies all combined.

4. We had a handful of crackers, cheese slices, and lunchmeat rolls that we'd saved from helping clean up after a wedding Saturday, and Trissy had been eating them for lunch. There were just a couple left, so she saved some for me. I put a slice of ham on each cracker, with a slice of Cheddar or Swiss cheese on top of that, and warmed it in the microwave for a few seconds so that the ham was sizzling and the cheese was melted over the top. Talk about yummy.
