FAMILY REUNION UPDATE

Well, technically we're not having a family reunion, since the Worley's aren't with us, but we're enjoying time with Nathan, Laura, Calvin, Claire, & the Broders. Yesterday the kids went to the Norfolk Public Library & checked out a plethora of clever & informative books. This morning I read a book about giraffes to Calvin. Did you know that giraffes only have 7 bones in their necks? Neither did I. That's the same number of bones we have in our necks, but a giraffe's neck bones are 1' long. Did you know that a giraffe's tongue is 18" long? Neither did I. That puts Gene Simmons tongue to shame, but I digress. The kids also went to the movies yesterday. They watched "Peter Rabbit 2." Today they're going to the water park. Last night Nathan grilled hamburgers. Tonight we're grilling brats. Just thought you'd like to know. 

CHURCH

"Millions skipped church during pandemic. Will they return?" Drudge Report

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE CALIFORNIA

"CA wildfire grows to 13,000 acres, threatens pot farms."  Drudge

TRENDING NEWS *

* Compliments of The Babylon Bee, my most trusted news source.

"Supreme Court says students who identify as teachers must be allowed to use teacher's lounge." 

"Doctors no longer recommending antidepressants for white males since they're supposed to feel bad." 

"Frustrated women demand trans women in public restrooms stop leaving the toilet seat up." 

RULES

"Rules for being the age you are . . . First & foremost, be kind. Mean is easy; kind is hard. Once we reached 8th grade, many of us got the idea that the nasty put-down, the superior smile, & the clever one-liner are the signs of intelligence & great personal strength. But this kind of wit is, to borrow from the writer John Scalzi, 'playing the game on easy mode.' Making yourself feel bigger by making someone else feel small takes so little skill that 12-year-olds can do it." Reader's Digest, March 2021

CRIMINAL MINDS

"Frustrated cops in Liberty, MO, who were looking for a fugitive near an undisclosed house, caught a break after a natural gas explosion. How natural? Very. The suspect had broken wind loudly enough to give his location away. The Clay County sheriff's office later posted on Facebook, 'We've gotta give props to the Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff him out!'" Reader's Digest, March 2021
