Horseflies in the Kitchen.......

This story is one of those stories where you have to be there when it happens, but I will try my best to make that you were there when all of this was going on. Not too long ago I went and put something in my car and came back in, it only took a second or two to do it, but....... I heard something buzzing all around the kitchen and hitting walls, but couldn't find what it was. Out of nowhere Mamie started screaming then Nolan started crying. I found it, it was a BIG HORSEFLY on the over head light. They were sitting at the bar eating some cereal. Anyway, I yelled to Kyle to come get it and he said "I will in a second". Well, in that long second Mamie was screaming so loud the dog started barking and Nolan started screaming, crying and laughing all at once. The horsefly started flying every where, I guess trying to get out of the kitchen because of all the noise and then the children went crazy. I was laughing so hard, you just can't help but laughing, because here sitting a little girl that will pick up frogs, lizards, touch a snake and any other living thing, then you have a little boy, yes I said "boy" that will not touch anything as of the sort and he was just crying watching this BIG HORSEFLY fly right in front of him. While all the time he was watching it with his eyes so wide they could have popped out of his head. I told Mamie to run into the den, the horsefly at that time was in the door way going into the den, Mamie flew off the bar stool screaming. I told Nolan to do the same and he was saying "no, no, no" oh, did I tell you that there was another one that flew out from behind something, well you got it more screaming and crying. Kyle finally came in to try to get it and Nolan's legs where wrapped around the bar stool and I couldn't peel him off of the stool. After Kyle got the horseflies we were in the bathroom brushing teeth and getting ready for bed, Nolan looks up at Kyle with wide eyes and ask "they bit children daddy", Kyle couldn't answer the question from laughing so hard. I am still laughing because you should have seen the eyes of these two children when these two big horseflies came flying by their heads.

Trip pictures are coming. I was going to do that yesterday after church, but we had to travel to Wiggins because Kyle's great uncle passed away last Friday late afternoon after along battle of kidney failure. It was either last Monday or Tuesday Uncle Tucker told his family that he was not going to take treatment anymore that he just wanted to hurry up and get to heaven. I didn't know Uncle Tucker, but from all the stories that Kyle has shared with me today and through the years he was was a wonderful man. He loved hunting, fishing and life. Kyle, his older brothers and older sister were very close to Uncle Tucker and I know that this man will be missed by them and everyone that was there today. So please be in prayer for Uncle Tucker Bond's family and friends as they all will need it in the days and weeks to come.
