Thursday Visit with Morgan

Morgan and Corbin came to visit and played with the mega blocks and wooden blocks.  Kept them entertained for a long time and they even used their imagination to write their names with the blocks.

Here is a closer look at the handiwork.

Then they built this very high tower.  They were very busy for a very long time and there was no electronics involved, not even TV.  A fun time was had by all.

Thoughts to ponder.

Soulmate sounds like something Satan puts in his coffee.
I always leave places the way I found them, only way messier
Has anybody seen my disposable income? I can't seem to find it.
Insomnia means never having to say you overslept.
I bet when Hugh Hefner dies no one will say "He's in a better place now."
I don't know who's in charge of putting the little "tear here" signs on bags of Planters Peanuts but they need to fire him.
There are 3 levels of pain. 1. Pain 2. Excruciating pain 3. Stepping on a Lego
I have a fear of speed bumps, but I'm slowly getting over them.
It's just occurred to me that I have never actually seen anyone lick their lips in anticipation of a good meal.
My apologies, I am now just blatantly wasting your time by typing absolute drivel

Prom

My grand daughter Becca went to the Prom Saturday night.

And my grandson and his girl went to the same Prom.

Just wanted to brag a bit.

5 on Friday

1. What is your favorite season?
Summer.
2. Do you do anything special to acknowledge the change of seasons?
Nothing formal, no. I always get excited about the change in season, especially winter-spring and summer-fall since they tend to be more dramatic, but I don't have any special rituals or anything I do to mark them.
3. Planning to do any spring cleaning this year?
No,  I've kept up with routine cleaning during the winter so the coming of spring doesn't call for anything major aside from maintaining what I've been doing.
4. What is your favorite plant and why?
 I like peony, lilies, tulips, and lilacs. I also enjoy palm trees and bamboo. And bird of paradise. Not sure why I like these things, they're just pleasing to me.
5. How’s about a poem? C'mon, it can be about anything you like.
Poetry? Oh no!
I guess I'll write a haiku.
I'm not a poet.

Thoughts today.

I probably wouldn't kill so many houseplants if they could scream for food and water the way my kids did.

I am so old that I was on the research and development team that came up with the formula for dirt.

I am wondering why the phrase, "It's none of my business" must always be followed by, "but"?

I love seeing someone who thinks logically. It provides a nice contrast to the real world.

I think that tact is the ability to close your mouth before somebody else wants to.

I type 100 words a minute but it is in my own language.

I don’t understand people who eat black jelly beans.

5 on Friday

1. When is your usual bedtime?
Somewhere between 11:00 and 12:30, depending on how sleepy I am.
2. How many hours of sleep do you need?
If I get much less than 7, I'm pretty out of it the next day. I can't go too much over 8, though, or that ALSO makes me tired.
3. Do you usually remember your dreams?
I go through phases. For some time, I would remember every detail of multiple dreams per night. I've fallen off with that, and now I'd say I remember them about half the time.
4. How many pillows do you sleep with? One or zero, depending on if I'm sleeping on my side or my belly, which I rotate between.
5. What is the wildest dream you've ever had?
Dreams are always wild and weird-- at least mine are. (Sometimes people tell me OMG I HAD THE WEIRDEST DREAM and the only thing separating it from literal reality is some minor detail like 'My hair was blue!' My dreams are usually in some totally different dimension that defies that normal rules of logic, I can't even begin to compare them to waking life). Consequently, it's hard to pick one that is any more wild than the rest.
