Day Two Hundred Forty Four 2013

{Howdy, September!}

No arm-twisting to get Neil to go to the D.Q. this afternoon for sweet treats. He chose a banana split. [After all, bananas are good for you, and also pineapple, strawberries, and yes even chocolate.] No health food for me. I went for the Butterfinger Blizzard with extra stuff on top [worth every penny of the extra 49 cents]. It is Labor Day weekend here in the good old U.S. of A. ~ a holiday tomorrow ~ no work. [A bit of irony there] But unfortunately Neil had to go back in to work right after our D.Q. treat. [That’s why all those pens, pencils and highlighters in his pocket] Grab the good times while you can. They sure do fly by fast.

"Sorrow and scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather.
Ah me, this glory and this grief
Agree not well together!" ~Thomas Parsons, 1880, A Song For September

Day Forty 2013

VISION BASKETBALL

He dribbles! Grandson Elijah played Vision Basketball today. His team has improved so much. And so has he. He’s had the ball quite a bit lately.

He shoots!

He scores! Elijah got lots of points today.

The blue team beat the green team 20 ~ 8. Way to go!

Granddaughter Shelby, daughter Holly, grandson Elijah, hubby Neil and moi celebrated a game well played at the DQ.

Elijah’s treat: a banana split so big and huge he couldn’t even finish it. We didn’t mind helping out. Yummy good times on a beautiful Saturday in February. Hope your weekend is delicious!
