You know that sinking feeling when you realize you have no bath soap and you used the final sliver yesterday? Yep! Had that feeling today. But wait! I have that bar of Goats Milk soap that was a gift. You know. The soap you save for a special occasion. Well today was a special occasion. And what a delight it was. It was another first for me. Thank you Patty for my made with love soap. You saved the day.

The Challenge
It is not often that I willingly make a fool of myself and have someone video the event and put it on FB and the www for everyone to see. So know it is for a good cause...Kallie. She is the best!
The ice bucket challenge started with various celebrities to raise money for ALS, and I understand millions of dollars has been raised. That is outstanding. It trickled down to my family and we added our favorite foundation.
For me to participate I added FIRST. http://www.firstskinfoundation.org in honor of our sweet Kallie
Join me in donating!

Cooking Class
Kennedy Jane, Kallie, Kati and I went to a cooking class at Lynn Meadows Discovery Center. The theme of the class was Madeline. We learned how to make creeps and then we could eat what we created. We fashioned hats from paper. Beautiful hats I might add. Then came the big surprise...we met Madeline. She was in from Paris and stopped by to sing and visit with us. We got proof in the pictures.
The delight of the girls is what makes the night so special. A night out with the girls and a night to remember.

Nice surprises
As I was looking for a particular book this morning, I came across another book. As I opened the dusty pages, I saw this card
Remembering Big Smoke

Kallie-ism
Gane... How do adults know everything?
I reply...only God knows everything.
Well...How do adults know so much?
As we pondered and discussed, Kallie exclaims!
I know how. They go through all the grades, through all the kid ages, then teenage and then grownup, and that's how they know so much.
Got to love her wisdom

Big Smoke
Smokey
On August 19, 2008, Smokey Davis let go of the hands of friends on this side and grabbed the hand of his Lord and Savior. Smokey was bigger than life in so many ways. He was a thinker, a philosopher, a dreamer, a planner and Smokey had the expertise to see a dream come true. Smokey loved the land, the stars, and the moon that God created. Smokey loved his country. He loved his family. The very most important quality was his sincere interest in each of his friends. He had the gift of making everyone believe that you were his best friend.
His Southern charm and Deep South hospitality was what first attracted me to Smokey. Smokey loved to cook and he could throw a great party. My family and friends were always welcome at the cabin.
Smokey's cabin was nestled in the woods with a beautiful view of the lake filled to the brim with bass and brim.On the big screen porch, over looking the lake, were comfy wicker rockers, and a fabulous porch swing. From the porch you could watch long horn cattle grazing, native flowers blooming, and pine trees growing, and listen to the many country sounds of nature. The spare room was a gun room to hold the guns and ammunition that Smokey valued. After my sister died, I came home to a beautiful memory garden for Susan. This was the place I called home and shared with Smokey.
Never a day goes by that I don't remember Smokey. We had so many good times. Loving Smokey Davis will be a treasure I will hold in my heart forever. When I look in the night sky and see Smoke Circles I remember Smokey. I miss you Big Smoke!

No-sense
The other day I went to the drive up ATM machine and tried 3 times to withdraw cash from my checking account. Deciding that the ATM was not functioning properly, I drove around to the walk up ATM. I tried, with no success to withdraw money from my checking account with my credit card. After try number 5, I realized I was using the credit card, not my debit card. No-sense.
Today, I went to meet the girls for supper. I wondered why my sunglasses wouldn't fit in the glasses case. As I was getting out of the car, something just didn't feel right. I didn't have on my glasses. Two pair of glasses fit very poorly into one case. By the way, I can't see a thing without my glasses. No-sense.
Aging is such fun. Take time to laugh at yourself. It is good for the soul.
