Well, if you are not around a man in a while, than you forget the faint smell of after shade and cologne on a man. I was reminded twice lately. Last night Jenny and I went to see the third installment of Transformers movie. It was a midnight showing and we got there a little before eleven. We waited and b.c it was almost sold out, we had to sit by other people. A group of friends sat by Jenny and then two guys that were friends asked if the seats next to me were taken. As the guy sat down, I could smell the aftershave. Every time he moved I could smell it.
Today I went to Lowe Lane. We had chicken nuggets and the regular kids come in. My favorite family came in and looked like they had just taken showers for the day. They had the three girls and also had two new boys with them. I think they would be cousins or just friends from the neighborhood b/c they were two new boys to come to lunch. As I put there plate down, got their milk and then also put some ketchup on their plates, I got the whiff of cologne. It made me smile and it took me something not to say anything. Okay, I did say that "You guys smell good!" The boys looked at each other and when I walked away I thought that they were happy and not thinking, "What other times you think I stink?" It was a good day today at Lowe Lane. My friend Megan just got back from Hungary on a mission trip so it was nice to hear some of the things that went on. I was also able to tell you what things had gone on at Lowe Lane as the room had been filled with colored pictures on the walls. I am very grateful that God has given me this outlet this year. I have my books but also a reason to get out of the house and you know that I like to be around people and help. I was telling Patty that I would be going back to work in August so my last days of helping her would be at the end of July. The children start back to school after August 12, so the program would be going on until then. I hope that the children have enjoyed us being there as much as I have.
