Fruitbearers

This evening my hon surprised me when he came home.  He gave me a bouquet of 14 beautiful orange roses! The occasion?  According to my mathematically talented hubby, it has been seven million, seven hundred seventy-seven thousand, seven hundred seventy-seven minutes (7,777,777 minutes) since our wedding.  Try to say that number seven times fast . Wow…what a unique anniversary!  My hon is super sweet, thoughtful, and romantic, isn’t he?  I’m truly blessed!!!!!!! P.S. For those who are wondering how many years those minutes are equal to, perhaps you can give your kids this math problem to solve .

This past Saturday we went to a church rummage sale.  It was almost its closing time.  We bought a bagful of clothes ($1) and  5 cones of ice cream.  Then we went to look at books.  A church lady there told us to take as many books as we want for free because they wanted to have less to pack up.  Wow…we’re so grateful!  We chose books that look interesting to us.  When we got home, I counted all the books.  The total is 127!  Most of them are children books.  It’s like a bibliophile’s feast!  All my kids love to read.  Now I just have to find room for these books  (a bibliophile’s constant problem).
