Patience is Timely

We just got back from our trip to Naples, Florida. This was our last chance to go to the beach for a few nights before school gets back into swing. I can't believe we only have four more weeks left of summer. It feels like it has flown by. Funny story about patience .... I bought Scott a book titled, "Quiet Strength" by Tony Dungy, the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Coach Dungy is highly respected and used to coach Tampa Bay. I thought this would be a great read for him while we are on vacation. It turned out to be a perfect read and a book he would recommend. He was reading to me a part in the book about Tony's father and how he had gotten a fishing hook in his ear from Tony's brother and how his father had calmly explained to him how to check around before casting, etc. while he was removing the hook from his ear! Scott was laughing and thinking about how often he would NOT handle a situation quite like that! Well, this section was timely ... Erica got out of the pool to have a snack and as she reached into our beach bag to remove the very LARGE bag of pretzels I had opened, she pulled it out from the wrong end and the whole bag dumped into the bottom of the beach bag!!! Scott looked at me and started laughing! It wasn't like he could go off after reading what he just had! It was timely ... patience is timely!!! And so was the shade!
