Sunday greetings, everyone!
I recently realized that instead of groaning when I bend over to pick up something off the floor, I now groan before I bend over to do the same thing. It's almost as if I am giving my body a courtesy warning to get ready for what my brain is about to tell it to do. Here's the thing: Grandma Cybersalt does not groan before or during picking something up. I suspect she doesn't even groan in her head, probably because she does stretching exercises. I guess I should probably do some stretching exercises myself before I reach the stage where I groan when I am not even going to bend over!
Today's video share is a much needed pick me up of laughter from a couple who are trying to be dead serious.

Quote #2333
Being a parent is like jumping out of a plane with a bunch of people who can't open their own chutes.
So you fly around doing it for them.
Then you hit the ground. But you don't die.
You haul yourself up off the ground and cook dinner.

Cake Lesson
A little boy is telling his Grandma how "everything" is going wrong: School, family problems, health problems, etc. Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake.
She asks her grandson if he would like a snack, which of course he does.
"Here, have some cooking oil."
"Yuck" says the boy.
"How about a couple raw eggs? "
"Gross, Grandma!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Grandma, those are all yucky!"
To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!"
She continued, "That's how God works in our lives, too."

The hurricane was to hit us on a Wednesday night.
Because we were in the center of where that hurricane was supposed to come, we were not allowed to get out and drive on the streets.
