A Few Odds and Ends

Just a few random notes today...

The Heavy...

Thankful for those who gave their lives to serve our country to keep us safe and free. I'm thankful for my brother Ryan and Brian's brother Ben who are giving/have given many years of their lives to the military and so glad they are both with us this Memorial Day.

Driving around today noticing many blue tarp tent houses, children with no bottoms on in the streets, and small children with no parents in sight, makes me thankful for all the many blessings I have that I don't deserve.

The Lite...

Still trying to figure out what really makes sense....when waiting in traffic at a signal...for long periods of time...do you turn off your car/motorcycle or let it run? I always thought that letting your car idle, even for hours, wouldn't consume that much gas but to keep starting it over and over uses more. So many motorcycles, rickshaws and cars here turn off their engines while waiting, then have to start them up when the light turns green which slows things down in itself. Are they trying to save gas, trying to turn out less pollution, just want their vehicle to have a rest? Hmmmm, if you know which is better tell me:) i probably wouldn't turn off my car even if it did benefit something (it has a stalling problem at startup:) but atleast i would know:)

McDonald's, as of last week, now serves chicken nuggets:) Oh the insignificant things that make a mom happy:) I tasted them and they were gross, but still...what is McD's without nuggets? Still waiting for cheeseburgers...but not going to happen. Even Chili's that just opened here doesn't serve beef burgers...how can it be?

Latest pics of the boys. Kai in his "new" hand-me-down train suit. Haddon with his amazing smile. Corban wearing his new "big boy" tennis shoes that he would sleep in if he could:)
