Pea Shellin' Time

Well this year Mom decided to plant purple hull peas and let's just say she has had a bumper crop this year! She brought over a bunch for us to eat...the catch was we had to shell them first. So while we sat in the living room (way to hot outside) we shelled and shelled until our fingers turned purple. Lauren even joined in on the fun although she like to eat them as fast as she could shell them. She also ate some of the others as well. It was something fun to do and something not many people do anymore. I remember Nanny and Paw Paw picking peas and more peas. We had so many that they had an automated peas sheller, where was that on Saturday? That's okay because we ate them on Father's Day along with Jeff's favorites: deersteak, fried squash, rice, and brown gravy. What's even better is the leftovers I have been eating!

Sprinkles

Well this is the infamous "Sprinkles" dress that Lauren loves to wear. The first time I put it on her I asked her if she liked her new dress and she said, "It has sprinkles!" I guess small polkadots do look like sprinkles. If you are wondering why Lauren has a camera too, it's because everytime I want to take a picture of her she runs to get her camera to take a picture of me too. It is the only way I can get her to somewhat smile for a picture. As I am typing this I realize that she has grown so much. We put the door knob child protectors on just as she was reaching the knob and now she is as tall as them. Boy does time fly!

Prayers

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

Our Father

Please Jesus Bless..

Guardian Angel

Hail Mary

Glory Be

Act of Contrition

Hail Holy Queen

These are the prayers that Lauren and I say every night. Her favorite is Hail Mary. I love to hear her starting to say the prayers with me and then skipping a few words before she says the next. At the end we say who we love and let's just say that Goofy has been replaced with Minnie.
