Monday is laundry day at my house. Grandson Knox had a blast riding the vibrating washing machine on spin cycle this morning. Woo Hoo! More fun than fun-sized human beings should be allowed to have.

Day Three Hundred Nine 2012
We get to time travel twice a year. Going back in time is my favorite. I get my hour back that was taken away in the spring. And I’m OK that the sun set an hour earlier than it did yesterday.

Day Three Hundred Eight 2012
Grandson Knox stylin’ in his Old Navy cap.
Daughter Holly, grandson Knox, grandson Elijah, and grand daughter Shelby on the front porch swing this beautiful November afternoon. Knox thinks it’s great fun to ‘honk’ his cousin Elijah’s nose. And pull his hair. With Shelby’s encouragement, of course.
Shelby and Knox—cousins becoming good buddies.
‘Honk!’

Day Three Hundred Seven 2012
THANK GOODNESS IT’S FRIDAY!
Grandson Elijah went to school this morning. He was doing fine until he decided to take a ride down the slide on the playground which caused his blistered bottom much distress. (For those of you who have not heard, on Halloween night he sat down on a Styrofoam cup of scalding hot apple cider and burned his little fanny which earned him a trip to the ER.) His mom brought him to Granny’s house and slathered on some Neosporin. He requested lunch at Burger King (where they have Mario toys in the kid’s meal). That Neosporin is good stuff! And a BK crown helped ease the pain, too.
Not to be outdone, daughter Kelly wore her crown while driving through lunchtime TGIF traffic. And only because her dad refused to wear it on the way back to work.
Meanwhile, back at Granny’s house, grandson Knox discovered the stairs. And our electricity went off for some reason right when we got back from lunch.
Kelly decided she wanted/needed some yummy coffee, so we headed over to the corner coffeehouse on the town square instead of sitting at home in the dark. I really liked this bumper sticker on the car we parked beside.
Kelly got her latte, and Elijah enjoyed some hot chocolate (but not too hot) with some homemade whipped cream, while Knox entertained the couple behind the couch, and Elijah regaled them with the story of why he wasn’t in school today.
While we were there, we listened to vintage vinyl Hank Williams on the record player (Don’t Think Twice). When that song ended and another one began, Elijah was surprised and said, “There’s another song on there?” We told him there were lots of songs on there. And on the flip side, too.
In God We Trust now adorns our courthouse which is all right with me. Others don’t like it. I’ll never understand why some folks are offended by God.
Neighbor Kitty Lily paid a visit. She hangs out on our porches often, especially in cold weather.
It’s good to be king.
Looks like Elijah is the only family member in focus in this blurry cell phone camera pic. We looked forward to supper at Ocha Thai food deli all day long—hubby Neil, granddaughter Shelby, daughter Kelly, grandson Knox, daughter Holly, and grandson Elijah. We enjoyed their good food and had some fun, too. Hope your TGIF was awesome!

Day Three Hundred Six 2012
GRAND PEEPS Are Grand!
In keeping with the Halloween season, grand daughter Shelby’s 6th grade class studied Mexico’s Day of the Dead. They held a contest with the class voting on who was the most creative in coloring a Day of the Dead skull. Shelby won! She picked out this prize—a heart with a skull on it that says Besame which is ‘kiss me’ in Spanish. Way to go, Shelby!
