God's Way of Answering the Dreaded Phone Call:
"We're Coming to Vegas...Can We Stay with You?"
What
a Year..and..We Still Have Five Months to Go!
2019
will certainly go down as one as one of the strangest here !
...and
I'm starting to believe in a new way to interpret the saying:
"The
Lord Works in Mysterious Ways"
We
started the year off with a snow storm in February and followed that
up with one of coolest winters and springs on record.
The
result: We didn't get our annual "call(s)":
"We're
Coming to Vegas...Can We Stay with You?"
Waiting
for summer the "monsoons" came a bit early, and then
earlier this month, our living room lounge chairs began to vibrate,
the lighting fixtures began to sway, and the "earth shook"
!
The
result: We continued not to get "the call(s)":
"We're
Coming to Vegas...Can We Stay with You?"
Enough
excitement? Not a chance !
Next
our phones rang off the hook when rumor had it (I admit to spreading it), the Russians were
poisoning our beloved casino and home landscapes, as grasshoppers by
the zillions began to invade !
When
that took place, our standard response was...
"Would you like us to
send you some...they taste great when dipped in chocolate" !
That
one really stopped "the call(s)" and I have to admit...
It
further broke my heart (cough cough) !
Well
now, it started to get warm, the pools were ready for swimming, and we
knew "the call(s)" would shortly commence. It would now be just a matter of time !
But
alas, having heard our prayer, God, in his infinite wisdom, as if He
was reenacting Moses sending one plague after another, saved
us once again !
Now...I'm
convinced the "I'm coming to Vegas. Can I stay with you"?
calls will certainly be held to a minimum !
Why
?
...due
to national news uncovering yet another "terror threat"....
Green Stink
Bugs !
Thank
you, God...for bringing even more meaning to the words"...
Unfortunately, we also realize...
