The Saturday Post Late

It is Sunday morning. I wouldn't call it early, just early for a Sunday, I guess. I tried to post last night but the big world wide web was in a mood and decided I didn't need to post. So, here it is, my Saturday post on Sunday. It is just after 8, almost 2 hours before church time. I remember telling you in an earlier post the I was a preacher. I am no longer active in that calling. My father, who was my pastor for many years, tells me that once I am called, it does not leave. I am not active for various reasons which I will not delve into here. You are welcome to make your own judgments. Just remember that mercy/judge, judge/mercy thing. If you are not familiar with it, look it up.
Yesterday was Kyleigh-bug's birthday party. We loaded the truck up with kids and headed to Nickel-Vegas. It was a scorcher today. I think the melting actually reached 92 degrees. It was definitely one of those days I wished the AC in the Blazer worked. A few more days like this and I will be hard pressed not to write that $1000 check for the new compressor and lines. Come on Fall and Winter.
Anyway, back to the party. Kaye's mom and 2 of her grandkids were there. Brittany and Kyle are Tina's kids. Tina is Kaye's sister. They are/were my niece and nephew. I never understood that part of divorce. They are still related to my kids by blood, but no longer related to me. I am sure they still consider me their uncle tho I am equally sure they have been told that I am not any longer. Still, it was good to see them.
It is always good to see my kids, for whatever reason I can. Nickel-Vegas, where 2 of them live is about a 45 minute drive from home. It just seems there isn't enough time or schedule coincidences. I talk to one them almost every day. Audrey is always calling.(Audrey, if you are reading this, don't stop calling. I need you more than you need me.) Chasity is a busy one and we talk several times a week. (Chasity, same deal as Audrey.) Heather is 16 and a half, in high school, and always on the go. We talk more online that anywhere else. (Heather .. Well, you know.) I meet Heather's BF at the party. It was nice to meet you, Chris.
That is just what we need, another Chris. Tammy's oldest is Chris. Chasity's hubby is Chris. Audrey's oldest son is Chris. Chasity's son is a Chris as well (Ian Kristopher). Welcome to my collection of Chris's, Chris.

Well, sleep is all around me. Kyle is sleeping on the floor behind me. Chella is sleeping on the couch. Malcolm is snoring on the floor beside Kyle. Donovan is snoozing against my feet. Even Ava, the snake is asleep. Tammy is warm and cuddly in the bed, where I am headed for a little while before we begin the real Sunday activities.

Y'all have a good morning.
