  What’s that in the background?
  (answer later..hint: sticks and snails)

  
  

   

  
  

  Okay, it’s one of the things “little boys” (nine year-old  ones) do before their grandpas get up.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  First, they have a hearty breakfast…
  3/4 of a pan of brownies with milk
   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  …then, they stuff and stuff a shirt pocket until they’re pretty sure they’ve set a record for pencil, marker, etc. stuffing (102, to be exact)

  
  

   

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  after that, it’s time for outdoor activities…
  
  a shovel is essential

  
  

  
  

  
  

  …for a worm collection!

  
  

  
  

  
  

  and all this by about 9 am!

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

                

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  It’s amazing how well they “clean up ” later when you insist!

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  It’s been said that if a man of forty had the energy of a  child,
  
  he could rule the world….
  
  I’ve never doubted it!

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

   “Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.” He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,  ”Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”

            blessings, little friends…jim
