Alison, you are tugging at my heartstrings! What heartwarming stories! I went back and read your November stories about Kyle, and that really got to me. But then the returnees. One never knows.

And I’m supposed to have something funny to follow that? Well …

MORE SUNDAY SCHOOL
 
The following statements about the bible were written by children. They have not been retouched or corrected (i.e., incorrect spelling has been left in).

~ The seventh commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery.

~ Moses died before he ever got to America. Then Joshua led the hebrews in the battle of Geritol.

~ The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.

~ David was a hebrew king skilled at playing the liar.

He fought with the Finklesteins, a race of people who lived in Biblical times.

~ Solomon, one of David’s sons, had 300 wives. It must have been nag, nag, nag all day long.

~ When Mary heard that she was the mother of Jesus, she sang the Magna Carta.

~ When the three wise guys from the east side arrived, they found Jesus in the manager.

(I have one more set of these).

I’m glad a charming young one delivered a hug to you. Consider it from me, too.

So no matter how much we migrate, we stay the same.

Bet you’ll get more hugs one day when your small friends get to taste that Backyard Cake!

Good wishes for lots of new friends to Kyle and family at the new location. 🙂

And old friends return..life is good. 🙂

Great story from Kyle. . .great love for his mom shared with the world of Alison – tell him I said thanks!

And the hugs. . .well, secretly I think that’s why E adn I work in the church nursery every week. Those kids really get to know us. . .they see us in the parking lot, sometimes a couple years after they are OUT of the nursery. . .and they just hug us with unbridles affection. It does a body good, and it’s better than milk. . .I am lactose intolerant! 😉

Another hug for you coming up: Sam is back with a brand new degree. You would have loved hearing his speech. I am so proud of him.

Oh, we’d love to move back, wanted or not. 🙂 If just the houses were cheaper, our families closer… That song “I left my heart in San Francisco” (or Palo Alto, really) got a new meaning for our family after having spent our first year as newlyweds in the area.

How sweet! There’s nothing like having a little one wrap around you when you’re rather sure there’s no way they could possibly remember you…

I know, you’re still waiting for me to move home to Maryland.
Darn right! I’m glad you visit, but..geez, when ya comin’ home, huh? (I know, I know, California’s home to you now. *sigh*) Stay near Stanford, OK? I like you here so you *can* visit!
