Kids And Rocks

Kids and rocks kind of go together. Rocks make great chairs to sit on. They are great to climb. They are fun to walk around on. And they are great to jump off! He was having so much fun playing on them. And I was having fun watching him and remembering playing on rocks when I was a boy.

The Artist

There is a time honored tradition of giving flowers to an artist. However, it is considered bad luck to give flowers before a performance. But it is considered good luck to give flowers at the end of the performance and close to the stage door. Being a Grampy requires knowing all of these things and having flowers in your left hand and an iPhone in your right hand to take pictures.

I Went To The Attic Today

I went to the attic today. There is too much stuff and I need to start downsizing. I found a lamp that I had made when I was in the cub scouts. I used this lamp from cub scouts through high school and since then it has followed me around, but always in the attic. But now, as I hold it in my hands it is 1957 once again and all the people that I grew up with are alive once again. The attic really is a portal to another time.

Banana Split

Climb into a swing, lean back and take off. That is when you release all of your gymnastic creativity.

Looking For Ants

Why be inside a hot building watching your brother graduate from kindergarten, when you can be outside looking for ants. She sees me staring and asks why? I tell her that I can almost remember doing that when I was a boy.
