Random thoughts from Lori

I just had the funniest memory pop into my head.  We were in West Jordan and on our way to Grandpa Breck's house for his birthday.  Mom had made a cake for him and had painstakingly cut out letters to spell "Happy Birthday Grandpa", sprinkled powdered sugar over them on the cake and took up the letters so it was spelled out in spaces without powdered sugar.  She had placed this carefully in the back of the VW bus and on the way we stopped at a grocery store to pick something up.  We kids stayed in the car while Mom and Dad went in and I was told "You're in charge".  It took, what seemed like, a long time so we were all singing, arguing, and so forth for a good while.  When the parents came back to the car, they opened the hatch to the back to put in the items they had just picked up and what did they see?

Mindy had twisted herself around in her car seat and was happily poking into the cake with her little fingers and licking them!  The cake was destroyed!

That was one of the few times I heard my dad swear.  Mom started crying.  I got in trouble. And Mindy?  She just kept happily licking her fingers and hands and lips all the way to Grandpa's house.

It's funny the things that pop into our heads at random times!  Can you think of a family memory that has come to mind out of nowhere?
