Ha! at my coworker singing silly songs with corresponding sign language this afternoon. Double ha! when I joined with with her, with both singing AND signing, on the last tune. (And triple ha! at the look and tears in Karen’s eyes at the absurdity of the Zion Church office workers.)
Ah. All afternoon on my front porch in the lovely weather. Conversations with friends. Reinstallation of the wind chimes. Baseball players, children in the park, the ice cream truck. Nice.

“Pass the hard liquor, a huge knife, and a huge amount of gratitude for” having you guys as my next door neighbors! Let’s just say these few words:
home alone
motion light on
stranger
Scary!
You guys rock!

my only suggestion is that, besides calling your neighbors of course, lay low on the liquor if you’re also going for the kitchen knife!

Rebecca!
I read that article on CNN yesterday and I almost passed out. I think from now on I’m going to make sure that I am never less than 30 minutes from a hospital, even if I’m in perfect health!

i knew you guys didn’t do work at the office! lynn + song + “administrative assistant” = zion work atmosphere.

haley, great to see you on the blog! that article floored me, too. praise the Lord for our three ERs in town.
andrew, if only every day was singing day in the office! singing, flowers, free lunches + no complaints, no sins, no lack of communication = dream office atmosphere. : )

I wish I could re-create that scene for all to see.
My mom singing a song and dramatically signing along with it is a fairly common occurance. But I never thought I’d see the day that someone could join in with her. I love visiting you two at the office and distracting you from your work time…or should I say “work time”.

what can i say? it was a perfect moment… still has me laughing to myself.
indeed, yes, it was “work time” yesterday as i was just stopping in on my day off and lynn was sick. my brothers think i do nothing all day long at work! but alas, ’tis not so.
