The cousins are here! Chris (Fajita) and Gail brought Canaan and Sierra yesterday and the kids have played non-stop. They are getting ready to move far, far away and we won't get to see them as much so it's fun that they'll get to spend the week together having a great time. Last night Sierra read to all of them and it was the sweetest thing!

It's been great visiting with Chris and Gail too. I'm thankful I am a part of that family. They are such an encouragement!

Happy Father's Day to everyone out there. I miss my dad today, but it was fun telling old stories of the mannequin with the old man mask on that Dad would dress up and sit on the toilet for unsuspecting people who were rushing to the bathroom. He'd twist his head to be looking at the door so you'd always hear a nice scream from the poor victims. Then there were the marbles he'd keep in the freezer which he would, without fail, dump into my bed whenever any friend spent the night. Then there were the rubber snakes, the plastic dinner rolls, the fake ice cubes with a dead fly in them, plastic cheese that would always end up in someone's hamburger when we had company...and the list goes on. We miss you, Dad!

Now, about that moment of silence for the Mavs...let's have another one and everybody pray really, really hard!! GO MAVS!

As one of the proud victims of those pranks, I miss Sam too. I never hear the squeal of a hearing aid without wanting a hug from him.

Happy belated Father's Day BST. Go Mavs!
