the Infinite Monkey speaks: the benefit of the doubt
Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…
.
Since I want the benefit of the doubt from others, I will have to freely and liberally give the benefit of the doubt first. I will have to take what I know about myself and my sometimes less-than-stellar ways in the world and assume similar good excuses for friends and family.

Allison Weekend
I had my niece Allison for a visit last weekend, and it was really great! I only live about an hour away from them, but she’d never been to my house. So when her parents needed a sitter for the weekend, I was really excited about getting her to myself for a few days.
Allison is a happy little girl. And a cuddle girl. Two very great things!
Here are some pictures:
And because I can’t help myself, here are some more pictures:
Next time I’ll have to have both girls over. I can’t help but think about the fun times my two nephews spent with me at my house, and it makes me a little sad that they are so grown up now. I remember what it felt like as they were getting too old to want to come visit me out here in the country. They were moving on to new adventures. And I know that will be the case with Amanda and Allison all to quickly.
But that’s how it’s supposed to be. And I can enjoy these little girl days as long as they exist.
