For Family night, Daddy picked out a puzzle that we could all work on. It has been amazing how much fun we have had with it. So Dad got out a bigger puzzle (1000) and has immersed himself in it. We had a little more time with him being laid off, and with the 2 Snow Days! It is a bit harder for the little ones, so they asked if Dad could find one for them to do. So we have this great Solar system puzzle he put out for them. Luke and Daniel have done it a couple times, and then they started to get competitive and the puzzle pieces ended up all over the place. Daniel got started again and had most of it done and Luke was using a few for skates. We persuaded him to put them with the puzzle and one ended up missing. They started the search and we looked all over for it. Luke was very worried about it and asked 'Did the Holy Ghost take it?'
After finishing the laughing we couldn't restrain, I reminded him that the Holy Ghost is there to help us, not to hide our puzzles. So he seemed to get it 'Oh, He is there to help us? ok'

I find it funny when people are in the grocery store with an earpiece phone in their ear and they have a full disclosure discussion with the invisible friend/whomever. I haven't put my finger on exactly what is so funny about it, but I was amused for the rest of the grocery store trip on Tuesday night. Am I embarrassed for this person? Am I disturbed she doesn't whisper? Am I sympathetic? Am I uncomforable with tmi? Am I hanging on to personal boundaries that no one can know about, but common courtesy would know? Am I encouraged by her ability to overcome her lost time in that horrible marriage? Am I gratified that she survived through the miracle of prayer? (I didn't stand by her, we just went down similar aisles.) Am I amazed at the liberal scattering of our personal lives to the world? I must be okay with it, I am writing a blog. I think it still amazes me though. So my response is an inward giggle, a smile and musings. . .
