Miscellaneous

Emily has started going to Mission Friends on Sunday night. It is a great class. The teachers are really good and Emily has made several things. I used to go to Mission Friends when I was a little girl. The children learn about and pray for missionaries around the world. Emily and I were talking about the class one night this week and I said, "Emily, maybe you will be a missionary one day." She started crying REALLY hard and said,"NO, I don't want to, I would have to leave you and Daddy and go far away." Bless her little heart.
I went to a local consignment sale this week and got some exciting finds.


Emily's class has been talking about the letter A this week at school. They made apple pie to go along with A is for apple. Emily was really impressed and wanted to smell our cinnamon when she got home. I let her hold it, and we smelled the cinnamon all right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was a little girl, I used to go to Wednesday night prayer meeting with my parents. Once in a while they would have a business meeting. I would hear them say, "in miscellaneous" I always thought they were saying "Miss Allaneous." I wondered why they were always talking about that lady in the meetings.

I have never heard about Mission Friends. I wanted to be a missionary when I was that age. My son and his wife were - underground in China. They hope to return within the next few years.

Poor Baby! One of my girls is not getting married, staying with us. Sure, we'll see how long that lasts once she's grown up and adored by a bunch of boys!
