I use to play with puppets when I was a girl.\u00a0 My brothers got marionettes one Christmas.\u00a0 I was so jealous and I played with them as often as I could.\u00a0\u00a0 My hand puppets had rubber heads and cloth bodies and just enough room for a small hand to\u00a0be\u00a0put inside.\u00a0 I would put on my own puppet shows to entertain myself and my little brother.<\/p>\n

A year or so ago\u00a0David and I were in Nashville and I came across these really nice puppets.\u00a0 I thought they\u00a0would be good to use as a puppet ministry with my Sunday School class.\u00a0 I did it a few times, but they have been sitting in a small chair\u00a0in my girly room\u00a0and once in\u00a0a while when the grandkids come over, they get them out and play with them.<\/p>\n

There\u00a0is Scar, the pirate.<\/p>\n

There was Grandma Moses.<\/p>\n

And there\u00a0is Molly the puppet.<\/p>\n

The grandkids were here the other day.\u00a0 After they were\u00a0gone, I noticed Grandma Moses was missing. I\u00a0just\u00a0thought she was someplace in the house and I would find her one day.<\/p>\n

Then David brought in a little dress that\u00a0he had found Molly playing\u00a0with.<\/p>\n

I didn’t recognize it and just assumed Molly had\u00a0dug up something under the deck.\u00a0\u00a0Then\u00a0David started finding feet and hair.<\/p>\n

When I saw\u00a0it all together,\u00a0I realized what it was.\u00a0 It was Grandma Moses.\u00a0 Someone had taken her outside and left her to the mercy of a dog who chews everything.\u00a0\u00a0 I\u00a0was not\u00a0a bit happy that\u00a0she had been taken outside because we have told the grandboys several times not to leave anything out in the back yard they don’t want chewed on.\u00a0 Well……….<\/p>\n

One day the grandboys will be over and Scar the Pirate and Molly the puppet will have a talk with the boys about who took Grandma Moses outside.\u00a0 Scar and Molly miss Grandma Moses and want to know who would have taken her outside and just left her.\u00a0 She was a poor,\u00a0little grandma who never did any harm to anyone.<\/p>\n

We will have a proper burial for Grandma Moses when they get here.\u00a0 I hope they bring flowers.<\/p>\n

We lost a good\u00a0friend this week.\u00a0 When my heart doesn’t hurt so much, I will write about her.\u00a0\u00a0Bonnie \u00a0died yesterday after eleven and a half years of being a part of our family.\u00a0 I will miss her.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
