blog blocking.

lyman is a complete blog blocker. i thought he'd be occupied with his new foam golf balls & ball returnerputterthing (obviously i'm really familiar with this item) but instead he just talks & talks & talks.  he did just hit a pretty impressive shot from our bedroom into the guest bathroom toilet so he definitely had something to talk about.


last night lym was on duty so i was home alone with my sweet dog ellie & before we went to bed i took her outside like i always do, but to my surprise i came face to face with an armadillo. i yelled a bunch of different sounds & he ran off into the bushes but i was so nervous about him the whole time - like he was going to sneak up on me & bite my ankles.  i was creeped out to say the least. coming inside was really no rescue because the mouse, unfortunately, is still here. he knows i'm afraid of him so when it's just me i swear he pulls all kinds of shenanigans just to scare me. i'd be fine if i never saw him or the armadillo again.


on a lighter, much more important note, today is my beautiful moms birthday. she is such a lovely, strong, funny, smart, compassionate woman of God &  i'm am truly thankful for her & everything that she does for me. i wish i could see her but it's still so nice just to be able to call her & have a good long talk with her first thing in the morning.  God has really been teaching me so much over the past few years about being grateful for family & friends. i can't imagine what life would be like without the love i have for those close to me, especially my wonderful mom.
