The Food of Heaven

 So we were sitting there having dinner and I was putting some onions on my salad, little scallion onions, yummy stuff. And I said to Maulbeere, "You want some onions on your salad?"

She said no.

I said, They're yummy, you should try some.

She said no.

I said, You should get used to them, they will be in heaven.

She said she would just leave them alone there.

I said But they are a perfect food, you'll like them.

She said no.

I said, You'll be perfect then.  You'll like them.

She still said no.

I decided not to press the matter.  She'll get there and see I was right.

 

And . . . . the Last One

So last summer all my kids who are married and having children got pregnant.  Except one. Three of them were, one was not.  Don't get me wrong, that's perfectly okay and not a problem at all. Moosberre and his wife weren't.  But yesterday he sent me a picture of his little girl with a new shirt.  It was on my phone and the picture was pretty small so I saved it, which enabled me to enlarge it.  So after doing all that I was able to zoom in and read it: "World's Best Sister".  And I thought, waaaaaait a minute, she doesn't have a sibling.  So I asked and sure enough, they're due on Halloween.   Waaaaay cool!!  I'd  love to post the picture 'cuz the little girl is as cute as can be but her parents have asked not to have her pictures on the Internet.  But in any case, that is fantastic news!  That will bring the grandbaby count to eight!
