Saturday we took a day out to visit with Aunt Jean & Uncle Earl on their farm. Uncle Earl babies his fish in his pond so that we can always catch something! This was a good warm up for our day on the lake, Sunday. It was such a great day. Uncle Earl & Aunt Jean are Aaron's favorites & he loves to hear what new nickname Uncle Earl gives to him. Last time it was "Possum", but now it's been changed to "Mister". So, of course, now Aaron insists everyone call him "Mister". Uncle Earl also taught Aaron how to "open-cast" fish, so that's his new obsession, at least this week! Uncle Earl taught Matthew how to use, let's just say, "brown boogers". Needless to say, we haven't heard the end of that story either! On top of everything else...Aunt Jean fixed us supper! That was an added surprise. Sure beat having to go to Ponderosa or Cracker Barrel! Lillie went with us & had a new experience of being around other dogs...she wasn't sure what to do with herself. I think Aunt Jean's dogs were glad to see her leave. Overall, we had a great day! Uncle Earl loves to play with the boys...he had girl grandbabies. And the boys love to absorb any and all wisdom from Uncle Earl that they can. He's a wealth of knowledge...you know the everyday kind of learning, not that old book stuff. He knows stuff that fellas just ought to grow up knowing! Everyone needs an Uncle Earl & Aunt Jean...we're so blessed to have one! They love like no other, even by not doing anything, you can just catch a fresh breath of Jesus when you're around them! I've always been thankful for them & now I'm thankful that my boys get to share them as well. Unfortunately we didn't get to see my cousin Tracy & her husband, Chris, they were on vacation. Maybe next time!
