The “National Day Calendar” alerted me that it’s Curmudgeon Day, so Charlotte and I took some books about grumpy people and her “treat trolley” loaded with fruit smiles for a super fun non-curmudgeon-y reading time with our friends. Then we kept the laughs going playing dress up with the cutest cow!

Grateful to God for the life of this very kind and gentle man ♥

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, 

that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, 

but to save the world through Him.”

John 3:16-17
