SEATTLE CHRISTMAS GIFT SHOW







Today started off with Mimi calling her friend Blake on the phone. It was quite interesting watching them having adult conversations. "Hello Blake, what are you doing now? We are getting ready to come over to your house. We'll be there in a few minutes, OK? Are you ready yet? OK, I'm on my way."
This morning, mama and Keri took the kids to the Seattle Convention Center for their annual Christmas shopping and trade show. Since mama is a stay at home mom now, she is trying her best to cook more. She does a pretty good job most of the time. She is always on the look out for good recipes and cook books. So lo and behold, what did she find at the trade show today? A cookbook by Zu Zu. For those of us who don't know who she is, she was the youngest child of George and Mary Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life" Zu Zu was there to sign all of the books too. Mama was quite happy because that movie is one of her favorites especially at Christmas time.

TELLING TIME

This is Mimi's version of telling time.

Papa: OK Mimi, this is the last story. It's getting late and it's time to go to bed.
Mimi: OK. How about thirteen more minutes? OK, how about fifteen more minutes?

Everything that you ask of Mimi is answered with "How about eleven more minutes?"

Sigh.
