dear emily,
it's been a while since i told you a good 'max' story, and there is no
shortage of them. he is our 24 year old middle child, the one i used to
tell, "if you weren't so cute, i would kill you!"
when he was seven we were visiting his grandparents at a sleepy resort
of octagenarians. besides the atlantic ocean, every corner was as safe
as sunday school. one afternoon, i sent my little dennis the menace up
to our room on the third floor (306) to grab some beach towels while i
waited in the lobby with his two little sisters.
after longer than i would have imagined, he returned white as a sheet.
apparently he had accidentally gone to the second floor (206), barging
into the wrong room. instead of our mountain of swimsuits and tennis
shoes, he ran into two elderly ladies.
never doubting himself, he asked, "what are you guys doing in my
room . . . in your slips?"
love,
lea

What a very cute story! Oh yes these things happen..I have gotten into someone else's car once...lucky they were no where to be seen. Same car as mine only I was wondering why there was a baby seat in the back...oh brother..i am losing it in my old age. xoxox HUGS and happy Autumn to you my friend.
I once borrowed my friend's red car for the day. I didn't really know the registration number, just that it was red and small.
Needless, to say, I tried to 'break into' someone else's car at the end of the day. Lucky for me, I spotted the right one (two spaces up) before it was too late.
A very nice blog indeed.
I enjoyed the post and will visit again to keep up.
Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope that you will visit again.
Blessings. Catherine
Oh my gosh....OH MY GOSH! This is the sweetest thing I've heard in a long, long time.
You bless me friend. And others.
Love, Rebecca
Soooooo precious! I'll bet it made their day :)
(Makes me chuckle about a similar story that sprang to mind--too long to recount here.)
Oh my goodness. Funny! My brother and I were racing to get to our motel door first and opened the wrong one. I can still see the lady sitting up in bed, holding the covers up around her. Why don't people lock their doors?
Too funny! I love it! Hope you are enjoying a wonderful fall, sounds like you had a busy summer with your trip. Beautiful pictures, can't wait to hear more about it. Must have been heavenly!

Hi Lea,
You won an ATC from me! If you'll send me your address at patsy.paterno (at) gmail.com, I'll send it off to you. If you want to get replies to your comments, which is a nice way to keep a conversation going, you may want to change your settings as you are a no-reply blogger. :^) Patsy from

What a cute story! Does he remember it?
happy homemaker: very well!
Hi Lea! I love kids! what a funny story! yes-we had a sweet little boy #5! Loving him and thanking God continually for His grace! Hope all is well! Big hugs!
It could have been worse. They could have been naked. :)
This is a good addition to your letters.
Love the photo of the little old ladies. I hope I'll have that joy when I'm their ages.
hahaha...don't know how I missed this, so funny! He'll tell that story the rest of his life... ; )
I'm sure it gave the ladies lots of laughs. ;-)
