Wheeling And Dealing

This is the story of our day with Anne Marie yesterday. And though I did not have it planned this way, it turned into a day of wheels! The first thing she saw was my walker, and she could not wait to try it out! My job was to keep her from rolling over the cats.

Then we went to play  miniature golf. Because I still have a bandaged foot, I sat in the car and watched. We learned that some trees have eyes, and that they can look like a wolf facing west.

Then we went to Willy's for soft ice cream, where she decided to practice driving, though it was really starting the windshield wipers about six times.

Then finally for a little shopping trip, where she was overjoyed to find yet another mode of transportation, the store scooter. She really loved this and wanted to ride IN IT with me, but I told her the store would not like that. She ended up walking beside me and pushing the gas lever while I steered. Soon it quit in the middle of the store and Anne & Phil had to go to the car for my wheelchair. Down the aisle they came, Phil pushing Anne. It really was a delightful day, but I draw the line at getting her a wheelchair for Christmas!!

And then I saw four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub. The wheels radiating were sparkling like diamonds in the sun. All four wheels looked alike, each like a wheel within a wheel. When they moved, they went in any of the four directions but in a perfectly straight line. Where the cherubim went, the wheels went straight ahead. The cherubim were full of eyes in their backs, hands, and wings. The wheels likewise were full of eyes. I heard the wheels called “wheels within wheels.”
