A wonderful rascal. :) We never had trouble playing when we were kids. Sometimes I think we lose too much of that ability when we're told to settle down and grow up. Can't we do that and still enjoy life's adventures? Hahaha — my husband IS a rascal, Davina. A wonderful rascal. :) We never had trouble playing when we were kids.

And giving ourselves permission to "play" invites others who might be a little more reserved. Your husband has a rascalish grin.

Thank you. I once asked Wes, when we were first married and after a silly incident, when he would grow up. His immedieate reply was, <i>Never, probably.</i> And that's been okay with me. He's really very mature and responsible -- just adventuresome. :) Hi Suzie. Thank you. I once asked Wes, when we were first married and after a silly incident, when he would grow up.

At 58 years I still haven't settled down, nor grown up. Too much to see and do and find. Great to visit you again, Barb, it's always a joy and the smile works so well with my coffee.

You mention God has great plans for us. I believe that. The thing that runs through my mind as I look at people everywhere, from toddlers to oldsters -- and ALL in between -- is the verse in Jeremiah. Yes indeed, God has plans for everyone of us, and being part of those unfolding plans makes for exciting living. At every age we could jump for joy and ask: What now??? My passion is to make people aware of how special they are, how valuable. Barb Thanks so much, Terri. You mention God has great plans for us. I believe that.

Wow! What an artist! You are an incredible communicator with the brush, the words, the collages. Thank you so much for sharing your God-given talents! I love the post, and your way of describing Wes. God has great plans for you two! I especially enjoyed your description of the 3rd grader who jumped and yelled outside and then couldn't contain it inside :) Perfect description of so many for whom God has great plans...Rascals! with love, Terri Barb,
