The Church Parking Lot

Going way back in time, I mean almost dinosaur time, Kurt and I met in our church parking lot. This was back in December 1981.

You've got to remember America went from the Disco Age to the Punk Rock/New Wave Age. Picture a three piece, navy blue, pin stripped suit on a guy that still had his seventies side burns and wavy slicked back hair. Okay, so that wasn't what intrigued me.

At the time our church had two services back to back. I went to the early service and on the way out I discovered I had locked my keys in my truck. A 1972 Chevy Luv truck. Nothing to brag about but it got me around.

My friends and I tried to unlock the truck with a coat hanger. You know like they show you on t.v.?

Well Kurt comes up, sees what we are doing. He says, "Mind if I give it a try? This used to be one of my professions."

"Sure", I said, thinking this guy looks like he came from The Godfather movie.

I handed him the coat hanger and voila! Two seconds later I was able to get into my truck. (How'd he do that?) Kurt hands me the coat hanger and away he goes into church for second service.

Who was that unknown Knight in Shining Armour? Luckily my friends knew him and introduced us later that night at church.

As one would say, and now for the rest of the story.

Ever since that fateful day, Kurt has been coming to my rescue. If anyone dares to tell me chivalry is dead, I will quickly correct them.

Bailey is Here!

Our Granddaughter finally made her appearance on Friday, November 2, 2007. She was born naturally, Praise the Lord no petosin, at 5:15 am PST.

Bailey Marie McCowan weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz with tons of dark brown hair; her brother is blond.

Our oldest daughter, Brianna, is the happy Momma. The one thing she kept saying was how easy this birth was compared to the last one.

Oh! And yes Bailey's Daddy was present too. I guess he helped. LOL. When I talked to Brian on the phone yesterday I told him to have Brianna call me with all the details. He then proceeded to tell me they pulled into the hospital parking lot at approximately 12:01 am. They parked in the first stall up by the door. Brianna got out on the passengers side by opening the door.... Of course I didn't mean those details. Brian is the perfect Son in Law because his sense of humor is just as warped as the rest of us.

From the looks of the first pictures the whole family is doing well. Hopefully they can go home today so Bryce won't be so lonely without his Momma.
