Laughter, Love, and Friendship

"I have some weapons in my bedroom, and they're not legal" - Jennifer's 74 year old grandmother (a.k.a. "Sittie"). When I heard that, I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Not only did it hurt, but it felt like I had just been doing crunches for an hour. Of course Sittie wasn't referring to guns or anything of the sort. When she said "weapons," she really meant two loud whistles, a siren thing (that needed new batteries), and a little knife-thing resembling a small sword. She blew the whistle really loudly in the kitchen and said, "That's enough to scare the sh** out of anyone!" Haha...what a crazy woman she is. :)

I went to Dearborn after work tonight to spend some time with my good friend Jennifer and her grandmother Sittie. Jennifer and I painted our nails and toenails while Sittie made us fruit salad. She's pretty much the cutest, most caring grandmother I've ever met. And she's hilarious, too, if you didn't get that already. The three of us just talked and laughed and talked and laughed for a couple of hours. When it was time for me to head out, Sittie didn't like the fact that I'd be driving back to Novi by myself in the dark, so she got in the car with Jennifer and made her follow me all the way home...and then they drove all the way back to Dearborn. Ohhhhh Sittie. She just really loves me I think. Can't complain about that.

Lord, I thank You for the blessing that Jennifer and Sittie are to my life. They add laughter, love, and friendship, and I really treasure that. Thank You for showing me a little bit of who You are through them.
