Be Careful What You Ask For

There was a children's story that was being told. The storyteller asked how do we keep our bodies clean. Ethan replied by peeing and pooping. Yes, then there was that wonderful awkward moment of silence followed by adults removing their glasses and wiping their eyes.

Walking With Grammy

It was a great day for walking in the woods. Whose woods these are, I think I know, but his house is in the village though...

Birdie

The Princess has a stuffed bird that she named "birdie". The car can't leave the driveway unless birdie is safely aboard. This bird is like a weekend at bernie's. No matter what you do to the bird it keeps coming back and reappearing.

Where Have All The Flowers Gone

The air is getting crisper, the students are returning and the campus cannon is painted once again. You have to admire the optimism and the hope of youth. For without hope, there is only reality.

Installers

My appliances are almost 19 years old so we replaced them all. It was raining so hard on the installation day that it was raining chipmunks. The astute installers let a chipmunk into my house. They then asked if my dog would catch it. The ice maker was left at the store but they connected the water line anyway and turned it on.

It has been a horrible day.

A Princess, A Boat And A Horse

A Princess, a boat and a horse, it just doesn't get any better!

She loves stuffed animals and all things pink and everything and anything that lives in a castle. Don't you want to live in her world?

Tea Party Movement

There is only one fantasy tea party for a princess and it has nothing to do with politics.

And of course, there is only one store to buy magical supplies for a princess, and that is the Disney store.

The exchange rate of USD to fairy dust is so high that the Disney kingdom is the wealthiest kingdom in all the land.

Are We There Yet?

It is so exhausting laying on the beach and swimming in the ocean. But the time has come to load up the car and head on back.

People driving home rarely honk their horns, they are in no hurry to get back.

How To Trim A Bush

If you have a house with gables, then you have to have bushes that are wide on the bottom and tapered at the top. Tall bushes have to be in the front and at the corners. Short bushes have to be placed between the tall bushes to add depth.

But then an artist has to trim them to make them come alive.

Harwich Stroll

From 6-9 pm, there was a stroll thru downtown Harwich. Stores were open, there were many different musical artists performing.

It was a stroll thru another place and time. A time when people interacted with other people. A place where social interaction is between people without the use of any Facebook application.

Which Kind Of A Witch Is Harwich?

The temperature is in the 70's. Sand castles are fortified with salt water. Then baked in the ocean sun.

When Grampy stumbles over them, you can hear the sound of "Hey!", all over the cape.

There's An Application For That

There is no doubt how big of an impact the iPod has had on our generation. But it has had a bigger impact upon the younger generation.

They are just as comfortable playing with an iPod as I was playing board games.

But then, there's an application for playing monopoly.

Wareham I

Give a four year old an ice cream cone and stand back. He has more energy than a hamster on a wheel and plays miniature golf like he is Happy Gilmore, swinging the club like it was a hockey stick.

Definitely hitting outside of the box!
