This kid is already a hot topic

Who knew?

One of the kids from school was working at the store where I went yesterday. She talked about the baby and she said, "You KNOW she's going to belong to the community, don't you?" I'd already been getting that impression based upon the fact that I have enough baby-sitting offers to take her through kindergarten if Brian and I date at least three times a week--and that's with a different sitter each time.

I came home from the store to find an Amazon package on our mower. I tried to remember what I'd ordered from Amazon THIS time (I frequently order, so I frequently forget WHAT I ordered), but nothing came to me. Confirmed it was mine and I opened it. It was one of the gifts I'd put on my registry and it was from a lady I'D NEVER MET in Frankfort. We've been keeping in touch sporadically through the listserv and she deemed it fitting to send Charissa a gift. (I'd just been thinking yesterday morning I needed to be sure she had something silky. Melissa delivered.)

Then this morning I went to church. I'd shared our IRS story with, among others, Larry, our minister. Larry met up with me after church. "I've been bad," he says. "I told David Wecker about your IRS story and he wants to talk to you." So it looks like the Cincy Post will introduce Charissa to the rest of the GC area!

I don't know what God has in mind for this little tyke, but it must be awesome!
