How have I lived this long without knowing that Honeycrisp apples existed?  They are my new favorite. Munch munch munch.  I’m not cooking, just munching!  I’m eating out tonight.  I have a date with my buddy, BJ.  (Yes, I have to have a snack an hour and a half before I go out to eat.  Disgusting, isn’t it?) But I will be making homemade chicken & dumplings with my sister tomorrow night and there will be pictures to follow.  So, brace yourselves.

There was an incident this week where I applied something I heard in the sermon at church on Sunday to an event in my daily life and I couldn’t have been more shocked about that.  Don’t get me wrong, I love your sermons, Rev, but they don’t normally come in handy for answering a three year old’s four million questions, which is the gist of my daily existence.    We were walking out to the car and a moth was flying around the garage light.  Arwyn was trying to catch it and asked “Who eats bugs?”  I replied the very first, possibly sarcastic, thing that popped into my head, “John the Baptist.”  Then comes the dreaded follow-up question, “Why does John the Baptist eat bugs?”  I replied, “He just does.” And then we talked about frogs eating flies for awhile before we ventured on to 97 other questions in the 2 minute car ride to Grandma’s house.  Maybe you had to be part of our Sunday school group to fully appreciate the locust and honey reference, but I was thankful to have a response other than “I don’t know.”

And now, I’ll leave you with this riddle:

Q:  What is the difference between boogers and broccoli?

A:  Kids won’t eat broccoli.

Bwa, ha, ha, ha, ha!
