This is what I found when I went to get the paper this morning.

A card table.

On our stoop.

Thank you—I think—to the anonymous donor. Do come for poker this afternoon.

Perplexedly,

    Do you see any show girls walking around saying, “I don’t think I’m in Vegas anymore!”

    Then again…there was a big storm here Wednesday night. It might be ours!

    This is so funny! But funnier still was your invitation to poker. I’ll go with Matilda’s theory of the wind plopping it there.

    My daughter is behind me puzzled, “What’s so funny, Mama?” because I’m cracking up here. I love it!

    I think someone was running a lemonade racket at your front door while you were sleeping. People need to keep a closer eye on their children.

    Perhaps the newspaper boy would like to have coffee with you in the morning on the front stoop? 🙂

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
