Okay, for the last 2 weeks I have been tormented by a mocking bird that is constantly attacking my office door. He has made an enormous mess, he has scratched the window, pooped all over the porch railing, the porch, the rocking chair, etc. He is CRAZY WILD. Not being satisfied with only the house, he has begun to attack my car and the drivers side mirror. Not being satisfied with only one car, he began attacking Bo's car. This bird is deranged and if it wasn't illegal to kill our beloved state bird, well, you know what might happen.......I believe he would attack me if given the chance. Well, then it would be self defense, right?
We have been busy as usual. Our weekend consisted of Brady attending a youth camp with one of the local churches. He had a blast. Ashton hung out with friends and Bo and I discussed how old we have gotten. I remember when the kids wanted to stay home with us and now they are constantly on the road. Thank goodness for sweet Emma. Her turn is coming.
On Sunday we attended a different church to hear Mr. Edgar Harrell speak. He is one of the survivors of the USS Indianapolis and he gave an amazing account of that event and the providence of God. It was very moving and I am thrilled that we got to hear him speak. He and his son have written a book, Out of the Depths, and I am enjoying reading it. If you are the least bit interested in history and the events surrounding WWII, this book is very interesting.
Our week so far has consisted of basketball and more basketball. Ashton played last night and scored 7 points in his J.V. game. Unfortunately he didn't get to play Varsity. He understands it, but I know he really wants to play. Hopefully he will get the chance tonight.
Little Miss Emma has become a social butterfly with all of the cheerleaders and ballplayers. The girls are so sweet with her and she just eats it up. She continues to struggle with her strong desire to touch the mascot, Bear Cat, and her intense fear that he may turn on her and eat her alive. Which way will this end?
So nothing too exciting around here. How's your week going?

That bird would dive at you, given the opportunity. Neighboor and I share one and it is territorial ; cats and people. Suggest you place a mirror away from the house, but, where the bird can see. It is seeing reflection of self and trying to run "that bird" away. Droppings not good for Emma to be around!
I'm so jelous you were able to hear Mr. Harrell. That book is awesome although I'm terrified of the ocean!
