Happy November!
[It’s November. When did that happen? Okay, fine. I know. It happened today.]
In an effort to become a more regular blogger once again and in light of the thankful hearts that are shared this month, I, Lindsay, pledge to blog on a [nearly] daily basis something for which I am thankful.
[Did you get that? Mouthful. Nearly daily basis? There may be a few holes due to being away from computer, not for lack of being thankful.]
A thankful November. I tried to be creative with the title. Thank-vember? Novemb-itude? Then I gave up. Onto the important part –
Today, November 1, I am thankful for tator tot casserole and two-year olds named Jackson.
I went over to a family’s house for supper tonight. They are parishioners and ones I sadly haven’t gotten to really know in my year here. Their second child is being baptized at the end of the month and baptisms are always my pastor excuse to invite myself over. Their two year old is pretty subdued in church. He’s a great kid. Put him in his own territory – his own living room – and high on sugar from yesterday – watch out. He was running around, making awesome dramatic facial expressions, and making slurpy noises when he wanted more to drink. Absolutely hilarious.
It was great fun for this pastor to eat in a house with a crazy two year old. I usually sit on my couch watching television while I eat; this was a great change of pace. And we had biscuits with dinner. Carbs. [Yum. Something I don’t buy myself.]
And so today, I am thankful for tator tot casserole around a table with fun parishioners and their crazy two-year old.
there's no place like gnome.
