We Got Abbie

Today is the last day of Spring Break, and I took care of Abbie, sweetest grand baby ever.

She played with Scamp

She read books











She check out Grandma's garden












She watched TV












And she ate strawberries

It was a great day!

Today was also G-tew's birthday, so we went to Joe's BBQ. After the girls stood in line and bought his dinner, they found out that on your birthday you get a free dinner. So G-tew went through the line with me and got a free meal that he will enjoy for lunch tomorrow.
He was going to stay home from work today and visit his favorite thrift stores, but since he was at home sick the first of the week he went to work. Which made him miss his favorite birthday wish. Our former Stake President, Pres. Huber always called all the adults in the stake on their birthday, (an absolutely amazing man), anyway he still calls and it always such a treat. I took the message for G-tew and visited with Pres. Huber for a few minutes. It made my day.

Now for the insantity going on in Washington, I found a few quotes that I think fit the occasion. Funny how they are relevant today.

Mark Twain -
Suppose you were an idiot.
And suppose you were a member of Congress....
But I repeat myself.

Robert Frost -
A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.

Abraham Lincoln -
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

Theodore Roosevelt -
Every immigrant that comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.

Benjamin Franklin -
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Our congress sure is working hard. We should require that all legislators pass a reading exam before be sworn into office, and take occasional pop quizzes on the Constitution.
