Long Live The King

H and K, y’all are so silly.

I have got to tell you this story before I forget it.

You two reenacted the Mufasa death scene from The Lion King the other day and it was the funniest thing ever.

H, you called us into the bedroom as K knelt at the foot of the bed and reached her arms toward you.

H let out a roar as she quickly grabbed K’s hands, using her fingernails as claws. K then fake screamed in pain.

As K reeled, H leaned forward and whispered in her ear:

Long Live The King!

K fell backward in slow motion, and finally lay motionless on the carpet.

I would give you both Oscars if I could.

Ha!

I love you.

2 Donut Holes

On our trip to the beach this summer we stopped in San Antonio for the night.

In addition to nearly dying of heat stroke with an ill timed boat tour on arrival, we almost let the heat get us a second time by touring the Alamo in the heat of the following day.

The morning of the Alamo we walked to Shipley Donuts for a late breakfast.

Mom and K left after a bit in search of an egg-free breakfast across the street at Whataburger, while H and I finished our donuts and coffee and Shipley.

Before we left to meet up again at Whataburger, a haggard looking young woman quickly came in, asked for 2 donut holes, counted out a few coins, and briskly left.

You girls had asked a few questions about some of the homeless people you saw sleeping here and there on the sidewalks that weekend too.

And while I do think much of people’s problems (in first-world nations anyway) are self inflicted or cultural, in one way or the other, let’s never lose our sense of perspective and thankfulness about it all.

For God is close to the brokenhearted.

I love you.

Bill Miller

Bill Miller BBQ has become a guaranteed stop when we go to Corpus.

We get BBQ plates, large teas, too many rolls, and beans to pass around the table.

It’s a little bit dirty. And it’s a little bit delicious.

But the people are always friendly – and gosh I just love spending time with y’all.

I love you.
