Tomorrow we expect to serve at least 16 children at the ranch. I'm hoping the weather is warm enough for all the children to enjoy themselves. Oh, who am I kidding? I hope the weather is warm enough for me to enjoy myself. If mama aint happy, aint nobody happy!
Perhaps I'll announce the Word of the Day winners tomorrow. If only I kept track of who guessed every day and put that name on a slip of paper or even made a list! NOPE. Not me. I have to go back and read every single post and comments to find the word and correct guessers. Brutal. Trish, would you start keeping track of this stuff? (I'm joking. Calm down, everyone. I know she does enough for us.) Dan, would you like to take on this project? Dena? Anyone?? Another question--should I even continue the Word of the Day contest? Give me some feedback on the matter. If the idea of looking for an overly obvious word has gotten old, by all means, tell me!
Max has been working at the pumpkin patch soon to be tree stand. I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to make the switch in names? Do you think you'd understand if I mentioned the pumpkin patch but mean tree stand?
I have a little funny story to share. Kaley, Trish's daughter, coined a term for the pumpkin stand that we all used, but I never shared with you blog readers. Confused that the adults went back and forth calling our pumpkin joint the pumpkin stand half the time and the other half pumpkin patch, Kaley innocently began to refer to it as called the statch. Brilliant in its simplicity! We loved it.
I'm ending this babble. As always, thanks for taking the time to read.
If you'd like to say a prayer for a very special couple, their names are RJ and Reba. RJ has cancer throughout his abdomen. He had surgery last week, but the doctors were unable to remove the numerous spots. Please pray for strength for Reba and ease of pain for RJ. Thank you so much!
