We were playing a game called the Unspoken Word, played the same way as Taboo.
Mike: What you need to go up.
Audrey: Oxygen tank!
The word was ladder :)

Two things made watching Ratatouille yesterday very special.
One, my whole family went to watch it together – me with the best husband in the world and the best three children in the world. My husband’s movie of choice is usually action and sci fi. Rated G movies are never on his list. But he came along and I did not see him fall asleep once. That says a lot about Ratatouille. And that my teenagers chose to see it with us instead of with their friends made me really happy.
Finally, a rated G movie! An animated movie that is truly for children without hidden adult humor or innuendos (that is why I didn’t want to see Shrek.)
Amy and I were at Petsmart looking at the mouse cages and didn’t see anything cute about them. So how can Pixar make a rat look adorable? It’s the eyes, the blue fur, and the cute personality of Remy that makes it possible for a rat to be an endearing main character.
On Sunday, I asked a pharmacist at our church to talk to the kids about taking care of their health.
She said, “After you blow your nose, see if the stuff is clear or green.”
A boy said, “Why would I want to look at my snot?”

Subject: 25 years of marriage
WHEN I WAS MARRIED 25 YEARS, I TOOK A LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID,
‘HONEY, 25 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA
BED AND WATCHED A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY
NIGHT WITH A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD BLOND.’
Within an approximately 2-mile stretch of La Puente Road in Walnut, there are 4 Protestant churches. At least 2 of those churches share their facilities with another church. So that’s 6 churches within walking distance of one another.
Some people look at this and see it as Christians being divided. Why can’t all these churches all get together?
Is this an optical illusion?
Did our bunny Smokey shrink in size to be smaller than a zucchini?
Or is the zucchini bigger than a regular-sized bunny?
It’s a giant zucchini! This is the one from my friend’s garden that we barbecued. It was delicious.
Had one of the best days yesterday:
Spent a few hours with my daughters and a couple of friends at church painting posters and backdrops for the upcoming Vacation Bible School. Looks really good!
I felt brave and just jumped into the pool without hesitating. That was mostly because I was rushed for time, but it felt good.
For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it. We will just skim our lives instead of actually living them.
Sickness is a bad thing.
This will make you drool –
Dinner tonight, especially for my husband, was: King crab legs with garlic in melted butter! Broil tri-tip roast medium rare! Home grown chinese brocoli!
We’r taking an extra dose of cholesterol meds tonight!
