#1 does not have a happy personality. He is a happy kid, don't get me wrong, but if something goes wrong he can easily be upset the rest of the day. I used to joke that if he went to the zoo, the circus, and the movies all in one day, but stubbed his toe when he first got out of bed, he would declare it a bad day. He is a pessimist. So yesterday it was surprising and amazing to hear him say, "This has been a great day!" It was about 3:30 pm and we were driving home from a friend's house. He then listed all of the great things that had happened that day; school work was finished, we went out for lunch, bought a new freezer, played at a friend's house, learned some guitar, and now it looks like it will rain (he likes rainy days)! Well let me say, the day only got better! After we got home, I received a call from the 4-H agent that the lost camera had been found! A local gym had taken some kids out, and one of the kids found the camera on the van. We had continued to pray that someone would find it and be touched to do the right thing. Our prayers were answered. There were so many people involved that could have done the wrong thing, but all of them were honest and helpful. Praise the Lord! So #2 is off the hook having to pay for the entire camera, but he is having to pay for the reward we gave the kid who turned it in. However, that is much less than what the camera was costing him. So we went to Red Lobster to celebrate. We had a couple of gift cards left from Christmas presents. My order was taking a long time, and then when it arrived it was the wrong thing and not cooked through. So I sent it back, and it took a long time again. The manager kept coming out to apologize, and so she took mine off the ticket and gave me a $15 certificate to come back. Now that is a great day! ----------- The roosters didn't have a great day. After we got back from Red Lobster, we butchered three roosters. The chicks have outgrown the rabbit hutch and I really needed to let them out, but I wanted rid of the roosters first. I let half of the chicks out and they are so happy to be free. Half of them had grown quite large, and half were stunted to about half the others' sizes. So I am keeping the smaller ones in the hutch for a few more days to let them eat and grow.
