Devoted

1.  Look at the adoration.  He's just waiting to hear his next command.  His expression is one of absolute devotion.  This picture is another interesting shot from the album at my grandmother's house, likely from the 1940s.  I love the stern old man, with his directing finger, and the truck in the background.

2.  Pierce was making a bracelet for his teacher, and said he would have to make it a little bigger because she is 94.  I thought this was so funny.  At some point, it seems she said something that made him think she is 94.  I told him that if she says that again, he needs to tell her she can't be a day over 30. 

3.  We were driving through some thick mountainous fog recently, and I said, "wow, it's foggy!"  Cort said, "Can you really cut it with a knife, like on Scooby Doo?"  I was confused for a moment, and said, "Cut what?"  Then I realized he really thought we could cut the fog with a knife.

4.  Our wood stove is very drying, so we've taken to having lotion parties before bedtime, smoothing lotion over all the itchy spots.  One night, Pierce reported that he was "putting lotion in his knee pit".  Hey, it makes sense!

5.  I miss having chickens.  It's been much too long.  I think an order of some chicks is going to be a must this March.
