 RH>>> Or the families at church that keep growing. Saw the newest
 RH>>> little one yesterday.
 NB>>> That's a little different... at least they are right at hand to
 NB>>> get used to having the additions...   I'm sure the newest
 NB>>> little one was the center of attraction, too... 
 RH>> She was, but it's still a bit of a surprise to realise her oldest
 RH>> brother is now 3. Seems like just yesterday he was born. Some
 RH>> families you may not see or get to to talk with for a while, then
 RH>> when you see them, the kids have all grown at least 6 inches.
 NB>> When it comes to the teenagers, that can happen from week to week!
 NB>> It still can come as a surprise how quickly the time passes....

 RH> I know, kids that weren't even in school when we came to the church
 RH> are now in high school. Then too, our oldest grandson has his learner's
 RH> permit--we were there when he was born.

Yup... that's scary... (G)
 
 NB>> Our intern has been worshiping with us for a little while before
 NB>> we could hire him as an intern... when they first came, there were
 NB>> just two kids, and soon after they had their third.... this year,
 NB>> they had their fourth, and already he's starting to look like a
 NB>> little person... 

 RH> They grow up all too fast. The baby that one of the church families
 RH> had in December is now 6 months old.
 
Yup, time passes... and the older we are, the faster it seems.... 

 NB>>> Indeed... one of the strengths of the picnics... a chance for
 NB>>> all to try something new and only one having to lay out for
 NB>>> it... especially when it turns out to be not so wonderful
 NB>>> after all...   And when it is wonderful, then we know we
 NB>>> should spend the pesos... 
 RH>> All in the interest of good food. We brought a bag of pulled
 RH>> pork to Steve's folks for tonight's supper. Mom made potato salad
 RH>> and I did my maternal grandmother's green beans (with bacon and
 RH>> vinegar). A bit of sliced cucumber and tomatoes, apple pie for
 RH>> dessert and good eating all around.
 NB>> Sounds quite tasty.... 

 RH> It was; we took the last of the pie back to the camper for breakfast.
 RH> (G)
 
That works...  

 NB>>>> Now you know...  
 RH>>> We didn't have the time to do the others in the egg and still
 RH>>> eat at a reasonable hour. Next time we have the same situation
 RH>>> tho, Steve will cook them on something else.
 NB>>> Ah...  You might almost have done better just doing them inside,
 NB>>> for a quick cooking... 
 RH>> True, but we wanted to grill it--kept the house cooler as it was
 RH>> one of those too early in the season hot days. So, we just ate a
 RH>> bit of charcoal. (G)
 NB>> Ah, well....  

 RH> Just a part of life. (G)

Juggling priorities...

... To err is human.  To blame it on someone else is even more human.
