mango wants her grandpa

grandpa peterson had surgery on his achilles tendon about 2 weeks ago, so we have been thinking of him in almost every prayer so he can have a speedy recovery. brynn is very sweet and LOVES all her grandparents. she often talks about grandpa peterson especially as of lately as we talk about him more since his surgery. well, as her and i were driving around wasting time last night waiting for steve to get off of work (my car is in the shop...long story) i suggested that as soon as we get home that it would be nice if she made a card for grandpa. she was thrilled about this idea as she is really into coloring these days. so she kept talking about all the things she was going to draw on her card then stops and gets super excited and exclaims, "AND give mango to grandpa too!!!". i thought this was pretty funny and kept laughing while trying not to pee my pants (as this seems to be a regular occurrence in my present state...). brynn was a little hurt that i found this nice gesture funny, so she kept saying "MOOOM! mango wants her grandpa!!! she does!".

so there you have it. martin if you are looking for a companion, mango is yours. whats another plane ride? she loves it by now. you will never have to worry about your leg being bumped while its in the cast as mango will never be around to bother you. she never cuddles, so don't worry about your clothes being scattered in fur. she is great at getting the dust/dirt out from underneath beds as everything clings to her long fur so you will never have to worry about cleaning those spaces. you will often wake up in a panic thinking someone is in your house in the dead of night as you will hear small crashes/odd noises as the darkness brings out her psycho side. if you ever have a mouse problem in your basement, she will play with them to death. she is very low maintenance and only requires a small amount of food and water each day. if you leave your clothes out, you may find them a little warm (and a little hairy) which is nice on those cold winter days in cache valley.

and last, just look at that sweet face! how can you say no to that?! LOL!

martin, mango DOES want her grandpa.
