Last night, after Ruth went swimming, we had a candlelit dinner along with smooth jazz from Pandora. Ruth thought it would be romantic if she had gone with the boys, and Darrell stayed home. He could have had dinner by candle light. I told her that her dad and I have never had a candlelit dinner. He likes to be able to see his food while eating. But, that led to an interesting mother daughter conversation, of a type that sons do not have with mothers. Wow, this is what I have been missing...
After dinner, before dessert, we shared the cleaning up chores. I washed the dishes by hand, something that is rarely done with 5 or 6 of us at home. Ruth cleared the table. I decided that we should do a little extra work to make our morning go better. So, as I folded laundry, Ruth danced the broom across the floor in rhythm to the music. This is not usual in a house filled with testosterone. I mean who can enjoy jazz while the TV is blaring a game or the latest comedy. These are moments to treasure...
Speaking of treasure, how about this:
"Hi there, little frog."
And you thought we went all girly on you. :)

i love it when girls don't mind getting dirty...even if i'm not one of them! ☺ the frogs have been seen quite a bit around our house these days too...but that's a tiny one for sure!
Love the picture! Froggy is so tiny! Daughter doesn't look too thrilled with froggy!
Great shot!
Actually, she was frustrated with me. SHe is the one that placed him on her nose and came to me smiling at her own cuteness. I, of course, had to get the camera, and it took a few more moments than she would have liked.
Oh, well, it was cute anyway...
Your time with Ruth sounds heaven sent! Enjoy every moment. I gotta check out Pandora....I need to sweep my kitchen too....
i LOVE the picture! i cut it from a printout and have hanging in my space at work. A smile would have been nice, but this is still CUTE!
Just found your blog and really enjoyed reading it. The frog pic is so cute. Hope you are well. Blessings,
