A Close One

"How long until we're home, Dad?"

"We'll be home in a couple of minutes."

"Hey, Dad?"

"Hold on that guy's not stopping that guy's not ---"

"Dad!"

"Whoa."

"That was a close one."

"Yeah, that guy was on his cell phone and blew right through the stop sign."

"You're a good driver, Dad."

"Thanks, Pal."

"Fifty points to Gryffindor."

Smacksy Sunday Links

Loving this. Via my friend Jen.

Also loving this. Via our friend Jane.

And then... Our phenomenal friend Ellie is fighting cancer. What started out as a group of girls putting together something silly to cheer her up, became a sweet story of timing and friendship across the miles. Go here to read the story, see the video, and give Ellie some love. She is an amazing lady.

Happy Sunday.

The Beauty Spell

"Check out this sunset, Bob."

"It's really orangey-pink."

"It is."

"You know, Mom? When I see something beautiful like that it hypnotizes me and I look at it and I look at it and I can't stop looking at it."

"I can't believe we're home already, Mom."

"Me neither."

"Does time go by faster in Florida?"

"Yes, I think it does."

"Why? Because it's fun?"

"Exactly."

The Dig

"Mom! Look at this fossil I found in the sand!"

"That's cool, Buddy."

"What kind of dinosaur is it from?"

"It's not from a dinosaur, it's from some kind of little sea creature."

"Oh. Will you come show me where the dinosaur ones are?"
