Just a little extra tape….

If you ordered fabric from me in the last few days your packages might have a little extra tape on them! I’ve had help in my shop with shipping out your packages.
Grandkids Spencer and his sister Abbi May were working hard!

Funny one!

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, were
excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew all about it.

If any mischief occurred in their town,
the two boys were probably involved.

The boys’ mother heard that a preacher
in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.

The preacher agreed, but he asked to see
them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see
the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a booming
voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,
‘Do you know where God is, son?’

The boy’s mouth dropped open , but he
made no response, sitting there wide-eyed
with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated
the question in an even sterner tone,
‘Where is God?’

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.
The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed, ‘Where is God?’

The boy screamed and bolted from the
room, ran directly home and dove into his closet,
slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the
closet, he asked, ‘What happened?’

The younger brother, gasping for breath,
replied,’We are in BIG trouble this time,’ ‘GOD is missing, and they think we did it!’

Today’s observations:

Did you read the last post I did for the beagles about how hot it was?

HaHa….we live in Michigan and everyday it’s different!

I looked outside this morning - yuk……
coming down was a fine mist and it looked like a cold fall day!

I have been trying to take a picture of the Hummingbirds all summer and finally this morning I saw him, grabbed my good camera, went outside to take his picture. The battery was dead.

So…not giving up, rush back inside, got my little camera and got him:

Can you spot him?
