Benson has a new puppy!! We didn't start out last weekend with that in mind, but a spur of the moment decision led to some big smiles. We were hanging out in Meridian and having a great time with my sister-in-law Carol and all of her children and grandchildren, and then Benson's world changed forever.  They have a short devotional and a tasty dinner every single Sunday at Carol and Mike's house, and whenever I'm over on that side of the state, Benson and I get invited to join them, too. (When Benson gets his car running, he'll probably go to their house more often.) While we were all still together after the devotional, I took a group selfie before we ate dinner. I'll try to name everyone.
