You're invited
to join us for the
Spring Concert
of
Joyful Noise Choir
Sunday, May 4, 2014, 6 pm
(prelude at 5:40)
Fairview Mennonite Church
35100 Goltra Road, SE
Albany, Oregon
Ben and Jenny are singing in the choir this term, and I heard them yesterday at the Mennonite Home, and I'm sure you'll enjoy them as much as I did.
Well, maybe not QUITE as much as I did, since I always go a little bit crazy about my children singing.
But even the musical people in the audience said they were really good.
While we were waiting for the kids to warm up, I turned around and there was Paul's Great-Aunt Bernice.
[Me and Bernice--at 5-3 I really am this much taller than her.] |
Bernice gave me a hug and I noticed that one of her front teeth was missing. I said, "Bernice! What happened?? Did you fall??"
She laid a hand on my arm and grinned a little bit and said softly,
Quote of the Day:
"I ate it."
Then she added, "I was eating, and then I noticed something felt wrong, and I felt with my tongue and half my tooth was missing, so I guess I ate it. I didn't mean to. I'm not a cannibal."
love that your Aunt has a sense humor!I'm not a cannibal........
ReplyDeleteHow funny!:) I've just ordered and read all your books. You have a beautiful story and family!
ReplyDeleteI have six kids, and your stories were inspiring, funny, and sweet. Has Hansie learned to get along with the cats? Lol

I love your blog more than any other i have ever read. PerhapsI feel a connection bc I also have 6 children, but you just seem so real, and your stories are so relatable. Paul's aunt sounds wonderful, such a sense of humor! Wish I could attend the concert, but as I am in FL, that is not likely :(
ReplyDeleteBlessings from the sunshine state!
