And then there was Gracie.....
All of a sudden I thought of Gracie. Why I don't know. I accidentally called Kaitlyn "Gracie" this afternoon. It just slipped out.
Oh dear, I haven't thought of that little girl for a LONG time. Not that I was missing much. Just ask any of our 4 older girls about Gracie. I can almost guarantee the name would evoke a face before they'd answer. ( I asked #2 son if he remember Gracie....his response: "Ye-ah." and a face.)
Gracie was the oldest child of one of neighbors in El Novillero. I don't remember her age but probably about 4 or 5. Her poor parents thought she was the best thing that walked the face of this earth and that little girl knew it! Every time she opened her mouth to say something, she'd look around to see who all heard her and tried to make sure that we all duly appreciated her wittiness. We got tired of her extremely fast to say the least.
NOW--I think that Kaitlyn was one of the best things that ever happened to me......God spare us from having another Gracie. Looks like I have a BIG job ahead of me. I DO NOT WANT TO SUFFER THAT FATE!!!!!!
I know this is just rambling, but those are my thoughts this evening.
Blessing to one and all, KimM
