Day One Hundred Fifty Five 2010

National Doughnut Day!

Awesome cloud view on our way to Ralph's Donut Shop here in Cookeville, Tennessee. It is National Doughnut Day (whoever made that one up is a genius). What's not to celebrate about that?

There are no doughnut chains here in our town, but that's okay. We've got Ralph's. 'Nuff said!

Doughnut? Donut? Who cares how it's spelled. Looking forward to these babies with a tall glass of cold milk. Hope your day was sweet! Happy TGIF, everyone!

An Ordinary Day ~ I Think Not!


Grand kids Shelby and Elijah snuggled together watching 'Spongebob' from floor level this morning. Shelby was softly singing a Taylor Swift song she likes and wrote out all the words to using the music video from You Tube. It took her over an hour and about four sheets of paper, but she got it done.

Chocolate pudding kisses at lunch at KFC.

Monkey see. Monkey do.

While visiting my mom at her place this afternoon, sister Ann, niece Julia, grand kids Shelby and Elijah threw rocks in the pond, then discovered cherries laying all over the ground. Light bulb moment: wouldn't it be fun to toss cherries in the mud by the pond and hear them go Splat!? Well, of course. And it was.

Julia holds cherries picked fresh off the tree. Elijah gathered his off the ground. I bit into a red one. Very sour.

The willow trees that grow around the pond are beautiful--fun to just sit under and listen to the wind blow through the long limbs and fun for making wreaths to wear on our heads. Someone (might have been Julia) told Elijah his was an emperor's crown. He liked that and wore his even when we went back inside.

I forget we have plants like this in our back yard until they suddenly bloom, which is always a nice surprise--something extraordinary. Nice day.

Word Cloud

There is a fun website called Wordle http://www.wordle.net where you can make word clouds if you're really bored. I did this one a few days ago and decided to share it here with you simply because you might enjoy the link and also I didn't take pictures today. The words in this word cloud were randomly plucked from my blog when I inserted my blog address into the search box. You can also cut and paste words from anything like a song or poem or grocery list or type in your own words. But, wait! there's more: you can choose the shape of your word cloud and the font and colors and such. More fun than human beings should be allowed to have. Try it, you'll like it.

Day One Hundred Fifty Two 2010

Surfin'

Grand daughter Shelby amused herself and her brother Elijah this morning with a little You Tube surfing. They love the Movies in 5 Seconds (Harry Potter, Titanic, Twilight and Lord Of The Rings being favorites), but the videos that bring the most laughter are the ones of cats doing wild and crazy stuff. Oh, yeah, and listening to Justin Bieber tunes helps pass the time, too.

Memorial Day Snapshots

Remembering all the American soldiers who died in my place so I can be free to enjoy another day in the life of the greatest country on the planet. And to all the men and women who are serving right now in the United States military all over the world--THANK YOU!
