tea time no. 89:Need A Boost?

Figurative Boost

Regardless of your religious affiliation, Max Lucado’s piece on writing called The Write Stuff is uplifting. He writes:

“Well-written words can change a life. Why is this? Words go where we never go—Africa. Australia. Indonesia. My daughter was in Bangalor, India, last summer and saw my books in the display window of a shop. Written words go to places you’ll never go.…and descend to depths you’ll never know.

Readers invite the author to a private moment. They clear the calendar, find the corner, flip on the lamp, turn off the television, pour the tea, pull on the wrap, silence the dog, shoo the kids. They set the table, pull out the chair and invite you, ‘Come, talk to me for a moment.’ The invitation of a lifetime.” -Max Lucado

Literal Boost

We used the One Step Ahead Cooshee Booster Seat at the pottery painting place and immediately came home and ordered one.

We’re at that age where she’s too big for most baby boosters, but not quite tall enough to reach the table. It’s made out of the same material you see on those foam pool floats, but doesn’t tip easily like the plastic boosters you find in restaurants.  I don’t get any kickback from these guys or anything. It just really works – no straps, fits most chairs, fits varying kiddo heights. She moves it around the house to fit different seats so it’s pretty lightweight.
