I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Oh No! (11~22)

Can you say Grandma Lilly?! She is the only Grandma on my Dad's side that I remember. She was great! Every time we would go over to Grandpa Mackley's house, Grandma Lilly would pull money out of this really old glass doll head that was supposed to hold a plant, (i think) and give us each a dollar. But the biggest thing we all remember her for was her BRIGHT pink lipstick that was all over the place! She was just adorable!! Hailey got into Grandma Mackley's make-up! Pink lipstick and blue eye shadow! Maybe Grandma should start putting her make-up out of sight when Hailey comes to visit. She's already ruined 2 tubes of lipstick!
