Ben and Hannah

 A big project on the deck right now is the attempt to become a sunflower grower.  We will see how this pans out, it might just be for my sanctification.  On Friday night, Hannah, Ben, Dave and I were attacking the tedious work of laying the landscaping paper, cutting holes in it and planting the sunflowers in each small hole.  (This was before we realised that the landscaping paper was doubled and we would have to undo almost all of our work the next morning in order to amend the situation; hence, the sanctification.)

Hannah remarked, "When I was 13, Aunt Julie told me that everyone wants to be a saint at that age.  I decided to prove her wrong, that this wasn't a passing fancy."

Ben responded, "Then why haven't you joined a convent?"

Hannah answered, "Because I haven't heard a call."

Ben quickly replied, "Have you turned on the ringer?"  Touche.
