Thankful and other tid-bits..

So, today is 'wash car Wednesday'--no, not really, but we do seem to wash my car on Wednesday evenings...so K and I are washing(which really means, I patiently wait on her 'turn', then go behind her and 'polish' it up a bit:), I go to the porch to grab a towel, and notice a little nature taking place. So, K being the little 'nature girl'(as my dad, her Pop calls her), comes over after I call her to watch the nature. It is 2 lizards fighting..seriously! They are not your average yard/garden lizards either, I mean these are some biggins'! 1 is a little larger than the other. I pretty much figure it's a mating thing, and there is bound to be a female lurking somewhere in the near vicinity...So K says, "why do you think they are fighting?" and I answered, "there must be a girlfriend near by, and it's causing a problem". K turns to me and says, "oh, they are fighting over a wife?, The poor thing, maybe I can try and find her and let her run away." :) So, I go onto finish the 1/2 finished project that she has long by now abandoned...a few min later(she is still determined to watch the fight, and let me know each time someone strikes at the other...) She finally spots the female(we are guessing) and says, 'Momma, I think I've found her, and she is way too young for the big old, ugly grandpa lizard.' So, I am smiling by now, b/c who said it's a grandpa?...I asked why she thinks it's too old and a grandpa? She just shrugs, does a cart wheel and said, 'Mom, I've been around long enough to know when it's not going to work'. And that is that. Conversation over. She goes on busying herself with perfecting her cartwheels, and the car washing project is now over as far as she was concerned..:) She is adorable! So, I today I am thankful for innocence, cartwheels in the yard, and our dueling lizards. I am thankful that God has entrusted me with the 2 most perfect-imperfect beings I have ever laid eyes on.~e
