Happy Accident & Other Newsy New News!

A happy accident every now and then is kind of fun.  You ever have one of those?


Some of them have names, and birthdays, I know!  But that's not what I'm talking about here today.


I'm talking about this flag banner.


You see, my family are flag-flyin' people.  I take them down for the winter, but most of the time, the world is right only when I have two flags flyin' from the old farmhouse porch.   I just don't want anybody missing out of the beauty of that red, white and blue.  And, one of my favorite sounds in the world, is Old Glory crisply flapping so it can be heard several rooms away from the front porch!


Jamie asked for a flag for Christmas, so I, being the efficient person that I am, ordered her one online.


It came and I wrapped it, paying no attention to what that label said.  

When Jamie opened it, she said, "WHAT did you buy me this HUGE banner for?"  It's about ten feet long!


See the label on the package SAID it was a regular flag, but it was actually a banner.


I told her we'd get her the right flag and mail it down when we got home, and I brought this back to Michigan.  So instead of the hassle of returning it, I just looked around the house for a place to put it.  I decided I liked it hanging over a door.  This summer it can go outside on the pole barn, perhaps.  


But for now, I'd say it looks just right on my door to the living room.


Happy?


Accident?


Yes.


Love it!

Little E says hello.  It's been awhile, and I thought you might smile if I posted a picture of him in one of his happy moods.  Happy, because he was curled up, in a quilt, on the couch, with me, who, it oddly happened, managed to sit still for MORE than an hour on Saturday and read a book.  He just cannot get enough lap time, and his mommy is NOT a sitter.  So, when he sees me sitting, he runs for it.  The quilt makes everything even better!

And now...the newsy new news...

...Here is Levi's latest billboard.  It's stickin' up high in the sky, right across from a nearby county's abortion clinic.  (Kind of "in their faces" I'd say!)    Jamie had posted this cute pouty picture of Levi on her facebook and a Right to Life president saw it and made up the slogan to go with it.  Of course, Jamie happily gave her permission to use it.

The sidewalk workers say this one is an eye-catcher and attention-getter.  We may never know if it caused a mommy to change her mind, but we pray so!!
