It is impossible.....

To get 20 people looking in the same direction, saying "cheese" at the exact same time and posing thoughtfully for the best photo ever. Kiddies are distracted by one thing or another. Parents are distracted by one kid or another. Grandparents are distracted by one parent or another and yet through the whole ordeal, we get to look at ourselves just as we paused and just as the photo was taken. Here are 19 of my favorite people on the whole planet. They make up a wonderful and loving family and I marvel at their beauty and thank GOD that they are ours.

Someone once asked me how I ever remembered them all and my reply was that I pray for each one, individually, by name both morning and night. I love them all and next time I see them I am going to tweek their cheeks! If any of them admit to feeling special little nudge of goodness, it is likely that it is the result of the prayers of our prayers on behalf of these little ones. How blessed we are!

Why didn't I think of this?

The steed for speed

Today, we will go over the selection of a fine horse. Qualities include the preferred Pinto coloring, but any black/white or white/black combination will suffice. Look for one that knows his rider and that knows how to wear the saddle properly and proudly. Choose one with the spirit of Pharlap, the stamina of Sea Biscuit and the free-flowing mane and winged-flighted light-footedness of Pegasus. You can see that this one is used to blue ribbons and in a near photo finish, just edges the golden beauty to its left. Then, when needed, a trash can is available to barf in if the exertion is too strenuous.

Mount up! Tally-Ho! On you huskies! Ride, little one, ride like the wind! It is St. Crispins day and by the sacred duty we owe to England we will win this race and carry our heads high in victory. Onward! Onward! To the battle!

Disclaimer: Do not bet on this horse. The extra-sensory perception I had in recommending a winner may sometimes be confused with BMT (Bad Mental Telepathy) and should not necessarily be relied upon for either accuracy or reliability. Play at your own risk. And do not play with plutonium.
