What to do!

So, I was so thrilled to get blogging again and now for some reason I'm getting an error when I try to upload a picture on my new computer.  I am so anxious for my dear husband to fix it up for me - I'm afraid I'll mess something up so I'll just wait until he's available. 

In the mean time - I remembered a little funny story that I had with Alexa that I wanted to record.  Alexa and I were driving home from church (everyone else had already gone home.)  She was asking me what was for dinner.  I think it was crockpot enchiladas.  She started complaining that we have been having so many meals that were "all mixed together" and she just wanted grilled chicken, a vegetable, and potatoes or something where everything is separate.  As I listened to her I thought she was starting to sound a little spoiled so I decided to share with her a few thoughts.  I told her how she should realize how lucky she is.  That she shouldn't be picky.  There are other children out there who are lucky to even get one meal a day and it's probaly soup - everyday.  I ended my lecture with be telling her she should be grateful that she doesn't ever have to worry about where her next meal is coming from.   After a moment she pipes up and says, "Yeah I will.  If our country becomes socialist or communist, I will."

There she goes again, trying to outsmart me.  All I could say was, "Don't use my words against me."  Actually, I'm glad to know she's been listening.
