Funny things

I've realized updating this, with the laptop propped up next to my leather recliner on a wireless connection while I watch TV, is easier than writing in my journal in bed. I'll probably try to do both but tonight I couldn't let this one funny thing Katherine said go without noting it before I forgot. So we're having Robert's cousin and his family stay with us this coming week, so lots of cleaning up and cleaning out have been going on over the past week. One thing I've done is put clean kitchen towels on the oven handle. Well, tonight as Katherine's watching me prep meatballs, and patiently walking around with her juice and fruit nuggets in a bowl, asking if we can go watch "Mary Poppins" in the sunroom, she briefly stopped in front of the oven and exclaimed softly, "Ah nice towels!" I tried to keep a straight face so she didn't wonder what was so funny. I just said, "oh thanks, glad you like them." and she replied, "yeah." Who'd think she'd notice? It was too cute. And it tells me the ones I had hanging there are ready to be rags when she so promptly noticed these and felt compelled to actually express it aloud!
