\"Lilacs\"<\/a><\/p>\n

10. The frost boil on our little gravel road has healed, and city workers removed the “road closed” barricades.<\/p>\n

9. My allergy elimination diet<\/a> has moved from bark, twigs, and leaves<\/del> meat, veggies, and nuts to meat, veggies, nuts, rice, and oatmeal.<\/p>\n

8. At the library, I scored the audio version of Amy Poehler’s memoir Yes, Please<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

7. I also scored The Book Thief<\/em><\/a> movie DVD and watched it with Hiram. Geoffrey Rush’s portrayal of the father? Perfect.<\/p>\n

6. The post about Beginnings and Endings<\/a> led many former Bryant school faculty, staff, and students to share memories on Facebook about the years they spent there.<\/p>\n

5. Every Child Welcome,<\/em><\/a> the book Katie Wetherbee and I co-authored was Amazon’s #1 new release in the Children’s Ministry division and #2 of ALL their children’s ministry books, new and old.<\/p>\n

4. The lilacs are blooming.<\/p>\n

3. Saturday night, the Man of Steel and I went out to supper with Mom, my sis, and my bro. In honor of Dad, we saved our straws<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Facetime with my son and grandson on Saturday.<\/p>\n

1. Conversation with a writer I was coaching led to the realization that her parents and grandparents knew my dad when he was an extension agent in southwest Iowa. Her grandpa was on the 4-H board and got home very late one night because Dad wouldn’t stop talking. I love hearing those stories about Dad before my memories of him kicked in.<\/p>\n
