Day Three Hundred Sixty Four

Frosty!

Grand kids Shelby and Elijah enjoyed a Frosty at Wendy's during lunch today. Shelby likes chocolate. Elijah goes for vanilla. So thick you have to eat them with a spoon. Life is good.

Picture Postcards From The Bird Feeder

It seems I wasn't the only one bird watching this afternoon.

Day Three Hundred Sixty Two

I'd Like To Thank The Little People....

Grand son Elijah loves to play with the Fisher Price Little People and especially these vehicles--the tractor and wagon that came with the farm, and a couple of others that came with the airport. Behind him is one of the blond lady Little People that represents his mom. She usually drives the tractor. His sister Shelby used to do the same thing when she played with these toys, which, by the way, are vintage. They were brand new to my daughters in the late 1970s. The appeal of these toys never fades, it seems, even when he's got battery operated cars and trucks to play with. That is just too cool.

Day Three Hundred Sixty One

There's Always A Stray. Or Two.

I was sure I had Christmas all tucked away in the attic today. But it just never fails. No matter how many times I scour the house to make sure I got them all, I always find a stray decoration. Or two, in this case. They were under the couch where Eddie Kitty had most likely chased them. That's it, that's all of them. I'm sure of it....

Rockin' With The Beatles Rock Band

I wish I had brought my camera with me to my sister Jane's house this afternoon. Jane, her daughters Sarah and Julia, my daughter Kelly and son in law Kerry played The Beatles Rock Band. I snapped some pictures with my cell phone. They're kind of grainy, but you get the idea.

Kerry's on guitar, Sarah belts out a Beatles tune, and Julia pounds out the beat on the drums.

Kelly plays drums, with Kerry on guitar, and Sarah and Julia sing.

My sister Jane got in on the drumming action while Julia sang, and I think Kelly was on guitar.

Kerry, Sarah, Julia, and Jane jammin' with The Beatles. Neil and I just watched. Maybe we'll try it next time. We had fun just watching them play and listening to The Beatles tunes. 'Hey, Bulldog' turned out to be the tune they had the most fun with. They were all really good on each instrument and singing the songs and made high scores most of the time. It was a fun afternoon that turned into a fun evening. And thanks again for the delicious beef stew for supper! That was an unexpected treat. Good times, great oldies for sure!
