Clicking cousins

Keera does not give up and she is way ahead of her time.  She watched the movie Judy Moody again last night and decided she wanted to form a club this summer (just like Judy).  Everyone in the club had to complete dares (just like Judy). 

Keera has created dare forms for all of her cousins-Reed side and Hogan side.  They all have dares ready to go and she has been relentlessly texting/calling Austin and Corbin so they will agree to belong to the club.  You know how certain cousins just click?  Well, I think Keera has found her clicking on Bob's side....Kasey, Jackie and Austin.  She likes all of her cousins, but the ones she clicks with are the ones who also have some of the same personality traits as she does.  Corbin gave her a yes, as soon as she called him.  That was too easy for her.  The challenge was Austin who is asking all kinds of questions about her "dare club".  Her last statement was, "Austin said he would text back by 6 and if he doesn't, I am not ever going to text him again..." she said with a smile.

A call

I went to mass last week to be a Eucharistic Minister.  The lectors did not show up (and there was only one other EM with me), so I offered to read.  I told Father I had been a lector years ago.  So in the back of the church, I practiced real quick before I went up.  I guess when God calls....we answer.....and it was really fun to do it again.  So....if women can do all that in one mass, why is it they can't be deacons or priests?  I guess that is yet to come.

"Barn" is open

Obviously Spring has Sprung....the last two weekends Brendan has had friends sleep over above the garage - the barn.  This weekend Brendan is having friends over from school, above the garage...."Dad, these are big guys who will  help set up the pool table."  A 600+ lb pool table). Katie has plans to have friends  sleep over on Saturday and Bob has planned a pizza party for Connor's basketball team on Saturday, above the garage....I think I should start charging a fee for this place!  It's like having a glorified tree house to hang out in.

The feeling of reading a good book

I just listed a new book in my book section, Handle with Care , by Jodi Picoult. It was a long read, and it took me awhile to get into it, but that was more me than the book. It is very well written and the story is incredible. The reason I am blogging about it - I realized yesterday, as I went through like at least 200 pages, every minute I could pick the book up, that a good book is like a friend....once you get into it, you feel like you are a part of it and you have to know the outcome of what is going to happen to those characters who have grown on you. The power of a good book is amazing-when you can't put it down for anything.....unless your four year old says, "Mommy, I want attention." (Even then, guilt ridden, Irish CAtholic that I am....I thought..."I already gave you attention today in many ways....this is my time." Wow-a good book almost succeeding at overcoming the power of my guilt-amazing.)
