Never said they hosted or were invited. 😃

AMEN!

Unfortunately, even scripture can be cherry picked and quoted out of context. It’s their souls and compassion that needs to be inscribed with scriptures. Every word spoken against those scriptures needs to burn the scriptures a little deeper into the bone.

As attendance is high, for everyone in town wants to hear…the real story.

Some teens are the bricks at tea parties.

What? She has secret thoughts of wanting to watch?

I guess in my closeted way of thinking, even before the age I knew the closet was a future hideout destination, I never understood why people would try to embarrass or publicly humiliate others; when if done to themselves, they themselves would be horrified. Of course I had dumb teenage moments, but I kept those to myself or perhaps shared them with the person that was equally involved in the moment. Any laughs that come at the expense of others, that extends beyond the circle of close friends/family, that can’t be equally laughed at by the person of interest, is just cruel and selfish.

Hopefully if the weasel borrows it, by most likely just taking it without asking anyone, hopefully the beast doesn’t die until getting the weasel down a very dark, and very remote and seldom traveled road…no, make that a path; the weasel needs some serious reflection on his life and it’s worth…especially compared to others. An old truck can teach valuable lessons concerning life; take care of it, cherish it, or it will let you down as you have done unto it.

Haha, I have totally and absolute recall of all the special dates in mine and the kid’s lives…if I could just remember what day/date it is, I could probably congratulate or share that fact with those interested. 🤦‍♂️ I joke all the time that these memory tests are all age discrimination, they act as if a retired person really cares what day of the week or what the date is every day. I only check, maybe weekly, to see if I have appointments or plans coming up within the next two weeks; if not…I return to comfortably numb and my projects. I don’t get wrapped up in the daily media activism nor the grandstanding somewhere by somebody wanting more attention than they probably deserve. My TV watching is most limited to maybe a quick check of business and markets, maybe headlines, then i go directly to streaming; and that may be more likely to be foreign shows as I again don’t want the activism in my entertainment. So who cares about the date/day when retired? Guys, stop with the rat race mentality on senior’s memory tests.

My, they’re growing up quickly, but oh so fine as they stomp those boots.

They snuck off behind the sofa and there were reports of hearing, snorts, licking, and grunting that may have been more than required for simple grooming… oh my, 😊.

Hands free…so it’s up in the air…and it doesn’t have a heads/tails to call for the landing.

Exactly, does no one lock their phones? Or is everyone clairvoyant with digital devices? Then again, depending on how many things they have died and then returned to live again, perhaps it’s that near death experience that gives them special access…to the cloud ☁️ 😇 ☁️ 🪽 .

She has been trained by the master of many persona himself, big brother Steve. So it’s no wonder than she can see through the many fake things…secrets…that most would only pause and maybe wonder briefly about. Yup, Lydia is a very rough cut diamond…and likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future; ironic that she should give that same speech to others that may attack the AMISH BOY that’s becoming her brother; mess with him…you die!

But, but, what if his name is Harley, Harley Davidson, does he get a free pass to rumble? They called him HOG for short, but the rumble remained the same. 😃

Did you miss the problem because of the speed on the train or the departure time? Time for a cute tutor?

What an accomplishment; Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈🍾, Woohoo 🙌🏿 🥳 !

Back in the sixties, we took a self guided tour of the White House, after going from room to room and seeing all on display, we were not sure the best way to exit. Dad asked security which was the quickest way out… As we got back to the car, mom asked dad was his gun where he left it? With a rather Quick Look of confusion while reaching for his hidden holster, I said well hell, nothing like taking a tour of the White House and then asking for the quickest exit all while carrying your gun on tour with your family. 😳

The fact that Colt rather expected Joel to join could be an indication of his own desire on bonding…Joel’s taking some of the focus off him and he can see an ally in that Joel has been true so far. But likewise, Colt could still be more aware of things that he just doesn’t address because…we’re not on a soap opera, if it doesn’t concern you or you can’t help, then perhaps you keep your nose out of it and it doesn’t have to be TALKED ABOUT over and over…we’re teen boys for crying out loud. 🙄 HOWEVER, Joel has admitted to being gay, and one of Colt’s bestest, life long friends, is probably gay as he has a lot of feels about Colt, Colt’s dating, and when Colt’s not around, etc. I think he also shows a quick growing friendship with Joel…so why would he not insist Davin’s new friend, that seems to have been making him happier lately, to come along camping. Lots of benefits, Davin’s not in is business, coming between him and his squeeze, and Joel is there to also show credibility with the rents, or to share the reduced heat that Joel seems to bring??? It’s only logical guys, Joel’s coming! 🤣

Hopefully nothing requiring bare knuckles! 😂

Like the ole jiggle “Ruffles has Ridges” as do truck beds; where one adds crispness, the other adds cricks. Yet both could be a symptom of cravings understood only by nature. 🤦‍♂️ Hopefully there may be a smile on the faces for all that pay the price.

What a great chapter of showing Joel not only accepting his loss of family, but for also accepting that his stay is logical and trusting that he is wanted there. Unpacking the box was very symbolic of Joel accepting his new home and family, which also spoke very much that Trace knew that moment had finally come …at Joel’s own pace and his own acceptance. Lacey’s comment also reinforced his being wanted but that Trace and Celia were also awaiting Joel’s decision and acceptance of staying…versus going home, but not anywhere else, as that was NOT acceptable to Celia. 🤣 ❤️ So camping and horseback riding are on the plate already, but most heavy on Joel’s mind is talking to his coach and Cody’s visit next weekend ( so is that in 7 chapters? Haha). I think Joel will be pleasantly surprised and possibly impressed with the support he gets from Trace and Celia to get him enrolled, not only into classes but most importantly to get him set up in baseball ⚾️ practice asap. No mention has been made of local practice by the twins yet, but mention of Joel being absent from practice back home…so is one delayed or the other skirting regulation of official practices? 🤔

My understanding is: Trace had already mentioned getting the birth certificate for the possibility of registration and such, they just hadn’t told Joel that his family had so freely sent all his documents; so no fight or resistance for Joel’s family indicating expectations for his return. Therefore, the upsetting finality that they didn’t want Joel returning is the reason for delaying telling him that until after this face to face.
