It is going to be a long night as I hunker down and wait to hear from Grace and Justin. They went off to a nice local restaurant - the Bonefish Grill-to celebrate their last day as a couple and the almost- first day of parenthood. They are due at he hospital at ten, so trust they are on their way now.
I spent yesterday and most of today with Maryanne, helping her with Will, doing some cleaning, and just hanging out with them all. I had a great conversation with Anna:
Anna: Mimi, there is a boy at school named Brock who I think has fallen in love with me.
Mimi: Really?
Anna: Yes, he came and wanted to sit beside me today.
Mimi: What did you do?
Anna: I hit him over the head with my book.
Mimi: Oh? And what did he do then?
Anna: He said he wouldn't be my friend anymore.
Mimi: Well!
Next:
Anna: And when Nick (Challies) was here at Christmas, he asked me whether I would marry him.
Mimi: Oh?
Anna: I told him we are cousins and cousins can't get married! Anyway, he has to live in Canada and I have to live in Georgia. I don't think that would work very well if we were married, do you?
Mimi: Probably not...
Another little anecdote, from Toronto....I was singing tunelessly , as I often do, when Michaela said, Mimi, God says that grandmas shouldn't sing to their grandchildren....(I'm awfully afraid I won't make the cut for that heavenly choir!)
Another anecdote, from NYC...Mom is cleaning for Susanna, and opens the pantry closet...Ummm! Candied nuts! I'll pop one in my mouth while I clean....Yikes!....Susanna, what are these? Oh, that's old potpourri we keep in there...(And what exactly was it I popped in my mouth? Don't know!)
Susanna has been speaking with different homeless men as she goes about her business in Brooklyn...She has been able to talk spiritually with some, and finds they are quite open to this...Seems many are illiterate, so she wants to take her Bible to be able to read to the last one she spoke with. Couldn't that be an interesting ministry?...Also, did you know Rick is reading through unabridged Treasure Island with Micah??!!
Will be in touch tomorrow about Baby. Do keep Grace and Cora in prayer, those who are night-wanderers!
