Glowputt

It was a very full week-end. Popa and I traveled to Portland to be with my mom and her husband for an early Christmas Celebration. Our oldest daughter and her three children came for the day on Saturday. It is always a delight to have our only granddaughter around....we played tic-tac-toe and hangman while the twin boys took a nap with Popa. The "bruds", as the family calls the twins, are talking and asking "what's that" with each breath. We enjoyed their inquistive company. What a joy to have grandchildren in the house. Tonight we took the other two grandsons to "GLOWPUTT" a miniature golf course inside the mall that glows in the dark. The boys were more concerned with getting around the course than they were with hitting the ball a minimal amount of times. It was a good time consumer. We then let them ride those money guzzling cars, airplanes, trains, ice cream truck, etc. that kids love. We checked out the "robots" at Radio Shack and hit the kids play area for a few minutes. Then of course Popa had to let them buy a couple of "Hotwheels". Time to load up the troops and head home. The cold air is brisk and the flickering lights cause our oldest grandson some concern...he wanted to know if we had a mergency radiator at home. I had to tell him the bad news...Nona and Popa do not have an emergency generator. He thought maybe we should locate all the candles and flash lights in the house just in case. It is always good to have a back up plan. I cannot help but think how important it is to have an eternal plan. This is the season we celebrate the birth of Christ, the very son of God who came to be our Savior. Just as the wise men searched for him long ago, I hope you find yourselves in search of the promised Messiah.
