hugging...

i did a little research and discovered
that january 21st is national hugging day!


due to the fact that i was asked to go
to an earlier service yesterday (picked
my mom up on the way), my mom and i got
the opportunity to visit with some very
good old friends of ours, the Butter's.
Ann, Charles and one of their sons, Dan.
They always go to the 8:30 service and my
entire family usually attends the 11:05
so our paths don't cross very often.

well, to the title of my blog~"hugging"...
my family is made up of 50% huggers (mom, anne
scott & i) and the other 50% is mostly the
combo of the 'ol hand-shake/back tappers and
arm touchers. the Butter family is ALL HUG!
and i mean like bear hugs! so when we meet
it's a contest to see who lets go first! :)
meet the Butter's...



yes, Charles does look like santa claus
and as a matter of fact he goes out east
every holiday season and plays santa for about
5-6 weeks. when he and Ann are together they
dress as mr. & mrs. claus...it's great!
and it was superb to see them! Ann LOVES the
lord and she beams 24/7!! i love them!

are you a hugger? maybe you should start.
you never know when a bridge might collapse.


(p.s. thanks for lunch yesterday, mom!)
