The Party

Sunday came and with it an early wake up time.  Kiddo was in at 7am to “check and see” if we were awake.  We were not , but we got up for her.  I want to note here, she will let us sleep in on Xmas and will have breakfast and  allow us coffee while presents sit under the tree with no complaints.  Sunday was - when are we going finish decorating, when can we blow up the balloons, only 4 hours until my party, now it’s only three and a half hours, etc etc etc.   She was all about the birthday party. It was fun.  It was wild… ish.  With a half dozen 8/9 year old girls running about, I expected the volume to be something akin to rock concert or jet taking off.  It was not.  I will credit them all that.  They were great.  Fun.  It got excited, but not out of control.  Also, I gotta say… Kiddo picked out some cool friends.  They are interesting, curious, respectful, and they cleaned up after themselves.  Literal...

Training a bookworm

I started wearing glasses in high school when it was found that I have astigmatism in both eyes.  For long years, I needed glasses for reading fine print.  Mostly while reading books.  Also while driving, as moving signs can give me trouble as well.  In recent years, I’ve come to wear my glasses more and more.  It’s not just fine print or moving signs that get me these days.  It’s most things.  I’m also finding that I have different vision near and far and that requires me to adjust or even remove my glasses in some cases.   All this means that I’m getting older.  Also, that I’ll need to get my eyes checked one day soon and switch over to a bifocal lens.  I guess I really am getting to be a “little old man” as J is wont to call me when she is feeling teasing and playful.   Kiddo has no such vision problems… so far.  J and I both are wearer of glasses, however, so genetically we know that she will need at some point.  N...

We’ve been having some fun in the last couple of weeks since returning, but we’ve also had some tech hiccups.  I’ve wanted to post more, but problems with internet and connecting to it have been a thorn in the side.  Finally found a work around and solved the problem.  I was going to post last week, but we were in the dark, so this will be a double post.  Most pics at the end again, just to not over format as I go.  Plus, between J and I, the photos are kind of jumbled and mishmashed and I’m not going through 100+ photos to select the best and rename them in order for this.  Sorry all, you get the jumble, not the order. First and foremost, we have pretty nails.  Kiddo was thrilled to get her nails done again.  She always feels so fancy.   Also, we found bagels.  Like… REAL bagels.  Not some approximation of a bagel.  Nope.  This is the real deal.   Last, we made a new friend.  This is Chickpea.  She’s fr...
