A funny aside that I remember about our time in my hometown...

The girls stayed with Mary Beth when their dad and I were teaching.

One day Mary Beth was trying to get all of "her" kids to put their shoes on to get ready to go to pick up the after-school kids. She looked at Callie and told her that her shoes were on the wrong feet. Callie pondered this and finally said to Mary Beth, "No, these are my feet." Her shoes weren't on the wrong feet...they were on her feet where they belonged!!

This was one of my dad's favorite stories. He told it to anyone who would listen. He got such a kick out of his grandkids and loved them all so much.
