What a good weekend, but a great reminder that kids are for the young, and I don’t get smarter about some things with age. It was great to spend the time at my youngest daughters and in the company of a terrific son-in-law.
All three of the grand kids were there, the oldest finishing off a weeks vacation with her cousins. Funny how different kids are with their parents not around!
Some great learning and remember when’s!
After 25 years on not ice skating, you are not a whirling dervish as you step on the ice. Not even ready for the senior Olympics. The good news, I made it around the ice several times without falling, and could skate better than my 6 year old grand son who has had two lessons in his life. From a practical stand point, that won’t last for long! I’m grateful for not inflicting harm on myself!!
I was exposed to the computer guitar thing, Wii, and a few other things I don’t understand. I’m still not sure what some of this stuff is about, the guitar plays away and you “finger” buttons!! I love my computer for research and communicating, marvel at Skype, but don’t think I’ll ever get a love of games!! A generation thing?
One year olds still cry at odd times of the night, and do interesting things with food! As well, with baby blue eyes and little fingers, they can get just about anything they want. How come they can respond to reasonably complex directions, like open the door and get into your car, but can’t speak??
One day the little doll will break into a multi-syllable paragraph and tell us how funny we are!! Who’s the bright one, the baby or the doting adults??
Got to spend some time with some friends, play 2 new golf courses, play a small course with the 2 oldest grand kids and my son-in-law, and just feel love. Also, stayed way from the computer!
The bad thing with long weekends is that they end, and you come home to reality!
Why does a man in Benin want to get me hooked up with bogus traveler’s cheques and wrap Christian salutations around it? When will I learn that if it looks too good to be true it likely is! Is it possible that we will have 36 hours without rain??
The trials of this world!
I coached a couple of people today, and have a brand new client starting tomorrow! I’m looking forward to that and really enjoy watching my clients grow!
Time is flying by! We are building a new house in another town, and there is some apprehension about that, a starting over, but I know all will be all right and no change comes without uncertainty! Things always work how they are meant to, and generally, without a lot of help from me!
I skipped a meal today, and am starting to feel the chemical imbalance happen, and don’t feel that I got enough done.
When did that weekend end?
A softer head would have kept me off skates, and I would not have done some of the things I did today. On some items, I’m a slow learner with a hard head. But that’s why it’s a journey, not a destination!!
