What is an OmaHeck...

It is likely you have never heard of an OmaHeck. We kind of made it up. Here's a little history:

When I moved to Utah in 1990, I was introduced to a brand new phrase: "Oh my heck!" I guess it means "wow", "no way", or "that's surprising." It serves as a multi-purpose expression and possibly a swear :-0 (as in "Oh my heck, you are a jerk!)

When the family left Utah and settled in Omaha, NE (2004), we became "OmaHecks."

A Holiday of the Lord

So Tate turned 14 this week. We had a small celebration at home in anticipation of a rim-rattling BBQ festeja on Saturday.

On the way home from school yesterday, Tate says to Cyndie, out of the blue, "Mom, is St. Patrick's Day a Holiday of the Lord?"

Cyndie wasn't quite sure where he was going and began to chuckle.

Without a response, Tate kept going. "Will Famous Dave's be closed on Saturday?"

Cyndie softly, but firmly, reassured him, "No, no, no. St. Patrick's Day is not a Holiday of the Lord. Famous Dave's will be open for your party!"



We know one kid that is pretty thrilled to learn that St Patrick and the Lord weren't really that close.
