"You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing...

What!  Is it nothing to be happy?  Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long?  Never in his life will he be so busy again."  ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Hy was at the school table, arms up to elbows in a bowl of soapy water, bubbles flying, wet rags all around, and soaked jeans.
"I din't have an accident, Mom, I pwomise!"
"Well, what are you doing?"
"Givin my gwasshoppers a baff."


















Bert- "Where's Hy?"
Me- "He just got in the pool."
Bert-  "Ewww... that water's really bad, I was going to clean it before any body got back in!"
Me- "Oh!  Well, it's not a big deal, he just barely got back in and can't have swallowed any."
I went outside to see him flailing and splashing more than usual.  I waited for his head to pop up above.
Me- "Hey Hy, what ya doing?"
Hy- "Nothin.  Just licken the bottom!"

Today

Today

 I had Maddie clean the fridge.  

When she showed me the results, I only had two thoughts-

1.  If we ever do get food, it certainly looks as if we're ready!

2.  Hey, exactly how many condiments does it take, to make my food edible?!

Both thoughts were more than a little depressing.

Today
 I got serious about celebrating Gettysburg's 150th anniversary.

I had to dig to find them, but there they were!

Yes, that's right my friends, I DO own Grant and Lee barbie dolls.

(along with their horses Traveller and Cincinnati)

 It's alright to be jealous...

 Did you really think a fair weather friend would name their last born male child

 Ulysses, if they weren't a fan??

 And Today,

 Pal made a genuine, authentic, corn cob pipe.

He wanted to be ready,

I mean, really ready,

for the firefly watching on the front porch.

Well, I guess that's it.
For today.

So-

it turns out yodeling isn't that hard...
But, I am looking into a good St. Bernard.
