Happy Birthday Kat!

Six years old today, almost born on your Dandy's birthday (if you had taken your hand out of your mouth!).

Our Friday was kicked back! No hurry, no hustle, no bustle. I stayed on the phone most of the morning with birthday well wishers! Thanks if you were in this number. Just before mid-afternoon Krl and I left the house and did a few errands, paid some bills, I got a haircut, and we made the post office. Then we went to Red Lobster! Yea! I finally got my seafood and pasta that I have been hungry for since ..... whenever. I will not mention what Krl had because that would make for a really large blog! It was deeelicious!

We got back home and the new hound had made it fine. The older bigger hounds didn't haze her while we were out. We were getting settled in for the evening when Trc, Brently, and Kat came by bringing my birthday present. They were on there way to Ellen's city youth league championship game. I had known their tournament had began earlier in the week but I was unaware the Mystics were playing in the championship game. They had struggled until late in the season. Meme and Dandy got ready and headed to the ball game. I had heard them talking about the big basketball game in Abilene on the news, I wonder if this was it? We got there and it had just began. Long story short, the Mystics won (although they tried to give it away late in the game). Ellen got a knot on the back of her head from a fall, but winning was pretty good medicine. They were all sporting blue ribbon medals when we exited the gymnasium. Good job Mystics! 2005 AYB Girls 11-12 White Division Champions.

We were commissioned by Kat to be at her house with bells on and lots of presents early today! Meme told her that part of what she got last week was birthday because we did Christmas and all the February birthdays together. Kat feigned ignorance of this, so Dandy asked her if he could pick up all her gifts from last weekend and re-wrap them. This offer was rejected.

Our plan is to make the grocery store today. Probably get by to see Kat. Not much else. I do have a gift certificate for Waldenbooks that I wouldn't mind using. We will see.

I don't know if Kat is spending the night tonight or not. I know she has new church clothes. Highland should be higher ground tomorrow. Lectureship always increases the numbers, add to that Zoe leading worship and it should be very special. I have already informed Krl that the just under the wire walk in would not be sufficient tomorrow as seating may be at a premium.

FATHER thank YOU for the good birthday. I ask that YOU will bless Kat on hers. I pray for all those suffering from illness or injury. I pray for all those suffering from loss. I ask YOUR peace and comfort for them all. I pray for our spiritual family, I pray for our leaders. LORD lead me on!
