Happy May Day!

We have today off in Nigeria, but I was thinking about May Day when I grew up and putting flowers on neighbors' porches and then running off after ringing the bell. One man really shouted at us until he saw the flowers. I still think of that whenever I pass his house!

Funny how those memories stick in our brains! As we prepare for about two months in the US I have started to think about memories I want to stick in my kids' brains! I was so glad this morning when I read that Vacation Bible School at my home church is while we will be in town. Nat and Annette have gone at least twice in the past so it will be fun for them I suppose this will be Nat's last since he is 12 while it will be Daniel's first.

I've been telling my mom about foods I want us to have and thinking about little short jaunts we can make to show the kids the area.

Well, I don't really have much to write. We have today off so no real plans. Annette is out washing her sneakers, we call them canvass, I guess tennie runners is what I also called them when I was young. I've been trying to write more often here, but wonder if anyone is reading it. It would be fun to get some comments.

I was trying to add titles and labels, but they all end up in some asian script so make no sense to most of us, hey, maybe that would be a way to draw attention to my blog in another part of the world. I guess I'll try!

Have a great day and if you're a parent, think about how you can give great memories to your kids today. This morning Daniel needed A LOT of tickles, even before breakfast and now he's asking for me to read a Curious George book so bye for now! I thank God I have a little extra time for him today.
