Mommy says Mac is only about two months younger than me, but she also says that it's cool to go for the younger men.
How could I resist hanging out with such a cutie!

First Dinner Date
Tonight I had my first dinner date with Mac. I've been on dates with him before, but not when we were both awake to enjoy it. We sat in our matching loungers and took in the sights.

A Walk in the Park
Fun spur-of-the-moment walk in the park today with friends. When we stopped to feed the ducks, a woman passed us and made some remark like " population explosion". But I chuckled to myself when she ended her statement in "yikes" as she quickly moved her son to another part of the trail. Dear woman I don't know but smiled at, I actually think all of these little ones are just fabulous!

Acts 2:42 Group
At our church, we're trying to get together and meet the folks in our neighborhoods that we see every Sunday. They split us up by zip code and just asked people to get together every quarter just to eat a meal and get to know each other (Acts 2:42). Mil and I volunteered to organize and our neighbors, Tom and Renee, offered their house. We has potluck spaghetti, bread, salad, drinks, and dessert, dessert, dessert.
What was so awesome was that EVERYONE seemed to want to be there; it wasn't a required event and no one got offered a reduced tithe if they came. Just some folks wanting to know and be known. How rare it is that you enjoy so much being with people who (for the most part) you have never met before.
About 1/2 the response and still lots o' folks (and guess what Grayson's watching . . . the ceiling fan.)
Mil and Mel (note how the moms and daughters have matching eyebrows positioning.)

Happy Birthday to ME!!
WOW. My birthday is not for a few more weeks, but Justin had apparently been scheming for a while, along with all of my favorite gift givers (thank you thank you to everyone!!), to go in all together for one big gift for me. And to top it off, he went ahead and gave it to me last night so I could start using it instead of it sitting at his office in a box. Yippeeeeee, a new digital SLR camera!!! Talk about peeing in your pants. THANK YOU!

Rise in GDT
Millie here. Just wanted to confirm that the GDT (see Justin's previous post for translation) is definitely on the rise. Justin totally got his man card last night....Grayson went to bed at 8pm in a cozy 70 degree room, but when I went in to feed her at 11pm, she was sound asleep in a cool 62 degrees. Brrrrrr. In our 113-year-old house, you just never know about heat issues, but 62 was way too cold since the heat was set on 70. Under further investigation, all of the heat vents in the front of the house were pumping hot air, while the vents in the back were cold. Uh oh. That discovery meant nothing short of a trip under the house to see if a duct needed reconnecting. At 12:00am. In the dark. In one of the coldest nights to date. In a space where just this week I heard an unidentified critter through the vents fumbling around. Thank goodness the new car produced a rise in the GDT (although I will say in my opinion, the GDT has always been high in our house when it comes to fixing things). Justin is my hero. And Grayson says "thanks daddy" for the warm night's sleep.
