dual personalities

Happy first day of July!

Another weekend has come and gone. Did you have a fun one? Daughter #1 and I had our usual happy hour on Friday, followed by the OM bringing us Chick-fil-a and watching a movie–this time we watched Wayne’s World (1992). I had not seen it since the 1990s and it was surprisingly harmless and amusing. I enjoyed bringing daughter #1 up to speed with the cultural references.

Saturday night I finally got to watch The Longest Day (1962) which I enjoyed very much. I know my father must have enjoyed seeing it when it came out. He was 40 years old and only ten years out of the army. He had a desk job during WWII, but he was proud to have served. In the Korean Conflict he was in England in the Strategic Air Command. My brother told me when we were together in Michigan a few weeks ago that when ANC III flew home from England when my mother was giving birth in Savannah, GA, his plane crash landed. I never knew that. Wow.

The other highlight of the weekend was going to church with the boy and the twins. We had a good adult Sunday School class followed by a sermon on Psalm 4. (We are working our way through the Psalms.) Once again the twins were minimally depraved. Their father said, “They could have been better,” but I gave them an A for sitting through a 30-minute PCA sermon like good Calvinists. We went home afterwards and frolicked with Mr. Smith…

…and enjoyed some driveway sittin’.

We ate leftovers from the OM’s casserole which he made for the men’s breakfast on Saturday. Daughter #1 brought fruit salad. Of course, there was Prosecco. Life is good.

You have put more joy in my heart

than they have when their grain and wine abounded.

–Psalm 4:7

And a happy, happy 7th anniversary to daughter #2 and DN!

A toast to you both and that happy day! Time sure flies!
