Today is a big day. My wife is 36. My son is 5. Birthdays galore…..

Today is a big day.

My wife is 36. My son is 5.
Birthdays galore.. and moments in time that we need to stop and reflect.

Tara may not want picture herself at the age she is–though I remind her she can now run for president. Heck if Trump can anyone can.

As for Ayden, 5 is a big deal.

I still remember his first birthday.. And third.. and now fifth–we didn’t skip the 2nd and 4th but we just opted not to have parties for them.

So later today as a dozen kids roll around a giant play time location with a ball pip and giant sliding board, it will feel strange and real.

Later this year: Kindergarten.

Until then let’s hold on to 16 as long as we can. The changes coming around real soon will make us women and men.

I love you Tara.
I love you Ayden.

 

FRESH CUT SNAKE HEADS GREEN BEANS!

FRESH CUT SNAKE HEADS GREEN BEANS!

Perhaps one of the biggest surprises ever to happen to a woman in Utah just happened.. after opening a can of green beans, she poured them out and found a snake head within!

From FOX:

The discovery was made at a Mormon church in Farmington, Utah, while women and youth were preparing a meal for older members of the congregation. The find has led an Oregon food distribution company to halt further shipments of the green beans.

Troy Walker told KSL-TV in Salt Lake City she was taking beans out of a slow cooker when she spotted something out of place.

“It looked pretty much like a burnt bean, and then as I got closer to lift it off the spoon, I saw eyes,” Walker said. “That’s when I just dropped it and screamed.”

At a family dinner this weekend, she said that green beans will NOT be served.

Or snake heads.

The foreboding comment and takeaway from this story you should be left with is this snippet from the FOX report:

 

“Who knows where the other parts of that snake were?” Smith told the AP Friday.
