The Butcher, The Baker...


The Birthday Card Maker!

Speaking of butchers, Myles said he saw some "Ah-mazing" ones this morning when he volunteered at a meat-packing plant owned by our church that helps people in need. He said the butchers wore chains for belts "maybe because they're easier to clean" where they hang a knife block and other tools. "They sharpen their knives about every two seconds." He said it was pretty weird and graphic to see an entire cow hanging there and then see its hide get ripped off in an instant. He thought the rest of the process was pretty cool, but "maybe not a place I'd take you or the kids."

We're supposed to pick my mom up from the airport tonight and then go to McDonalds, the kids' fav. treat when she comes. Maybe I'll skip the Big Mac and order a salad!!
