knee deep in the lakes

This Sunday was a special day for me. I keep bugging Jen Lake to let me hang out with the boys without the 25 UBC girls that storm to the nursery after church to drool over them. Well, this last Sunday, my insider contact (Craig), got Lindsay and I into an exclusive lunch with Mrs. Gornto and the three Lake kids. Life was beautiful. I got to observe them for about an hour. Pure joy, that is what the kids elicit from folks around them.

Then, as if the day weren't already perfect, Mrs. Gornto picked up the tab. I fake fought her on it, like I do most times people offer to pay. No truly it was a blessing, especially since she hadn't really any idea who Lindsay and I were before Sunday.

On a different note, Betsy Dugan shattered her wrist this last weekend in New Mexico. The Dugan vacation was cut short with a surgery that most marathon runner couldn't have endured, but Betsy pulled through and now has a left hand that resembles robo-cop. Please pray for a speedy recovery for her, as there are lots of chocolate chip cookies that need to be baked.

To my friends who are absent this summer...I hope all is stellar.

Miss you Carn-dawg! I am glad to hear all is well with you, tell Betsy I will be praying for her revocery, and can't wait to get back and chill out with the Carn-master! El Paso is treating me well so far!...

your parents and in-laws should buy you a housewarming gift.
More specifically, they should buy my wood kitchen hutch with two-shelf cabinet, a butcher-block top and microwave shelf for $100. It'll look great in your new kitchen.
