Do you remember the flood of 2012? The one I mentioned one whole post ago? Well one of the ways to make a marriage cruise right along is to sometimes omit telling misfortunes. However, I made the grave mistake of marrying someone kinda clever. In fact, the Chairman is quite intelligent. To the point he realizes that his socks get damp each and every time he crosses the threshold out of the bathroom onto the carpet. He finally asked, 'what happened???'. Um. Well there was this plant that needed watering... and...
We've had son #1 alone for the better part of this Memorial Day weekend. It just happened that the daughters #1 and 2 had invitations to two different homes. So we are having alone-time. It is highly fascinating how different personalities are when they aren't threatened by a bossy or talkative sister. Interesting indeed. I am a big believer in that birth-order, amount-of-kids-in-the-family thing. It does impact personality. A lot.
I find great satisfaction in cutting scraggly tree limbs. I'm not sure why.
On a very sobering note, one of our little neighborhood boys was bitten by a dog. It was a boxer. I liked this dog. He played with Lisi often when we'd walk by his yard. But he bit our little neighbor boy. To the point of 30 stitches. It makes me sad for the little boy. And leery about the dog. The little guy will be fine thankfully.
It was touching to see a line-up of cars stop the other night as Mr. Mallard stood firm in the middle of the road. Then he quacked coaxing sounds to the Mrs. and the wee ones and they all scurried down to the nearby lake. I love nature.
Think this is all I've got to muse today!
