Handing me a tiny flower while it was raining: “Umbrella. Happy da-bay!”
“I handsome.”
Mom: “Yes you are.”
“I are?!”
Who’s your best friend, Alan?
“Michael and Josh went bye-bye.”
Grace, knocking on Alan’s head: “Who’s in there?”
“Daddy.”
“Jesus love me so, Amen.”
Today I went to a completely stuffed antique shop. There were plenty of interesting, and very odd, old things to look at, but I particularly liked these three things: old spoons, old coins, and old Coca-Cola things. 
This set of spoons was my favorite because they each had a tiny map of different States on them. I happen to be rather fond of maps… so I especially liked these.
Something about old coins has always fascinated me. Maybe it’s just knowing they’ve been around for so much longer than I have… perhaps it’s wondering what people used these coins or what they purchased with them.
Anyway I found these seven today and decided I’d get them. The one in the middle is my favorite, probably because it’s the oldest– from Switzerland, 1913.
And then, for some strange reason I can’t explain, Coke things just happen to be kinda fun to me. 
But I must admit, the main reason I came along with a few of my relatives, to this little store, was to get to go to the place next door….
Morelia Cafe
Though this painting is a sad representation of the spectacular city, the food was still quite amazing. 
And being there brought to mind some of the most wonderful memories….
There. A post with words. Happy?
Of course, if you want to be a real baker, you have to
have some flour on your nose!
The finished product.
“The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
More pictures here.
We may be getting a few of these sometime soon…
Also, the storm that blew through last night took some of the barn roof with it!
Lots of adventures going on around here!
Dirt is a wonderful thing… especially when there’s a large pile of it just sitting on your driveway… =) It is quite nice when you wish to make things… like cities!
So Grace and I set to work on the great citadel of Minas Tirith.
Anna and her friend Maddie made this one on the opposite side…
Dirt is also useful for making flowerbeds… and flowerbeds need flowers… so I planted some! =)
