kung fu peanut butter water
It is difficult to write these days. First, and thankfully, Bonnie is writing so many great tidbits on we talk dinosaur. But mostly, I am so busy these days with the new teaching position at Dwight D Eisenhower Senior High School in Houston. And when I'm not busy with school stuff, I'm dandling children on knees or tossing them in the air. Or tickling them silly with laughter or falling asleep while I read them books goodnight. And then there is Bonnie, who I also like to tickle silly with laughter. And then there are the Die Hard movies we just got done watching together.
We watched Kung Fu Panda II together, as a family, in the dollar theater. That was fun. There were lots of similar families there on that Sunday afternoon.
It has continued to be so dry that our garden plants have suffered some casualties. And maybe you saw some news about local wildfires. But on the other hand, it looks like it may come down to Boise State and LSU this year in NCAA football, and wouldn't that just frost your whiskers?
Orry and Isaac are enjoying school. Annie is really growing up too. Bonnie made some peanut butter ice cream today that was among the best ice cream products I have eaten. And I am not one that favors peanut butter in desserts.
One fond thing that I recall from my childhood is irrigating our desert fields. We sure moved a lot of water, my dad and me. What do you remember fondly from your childhood?

Oh goodness if it comes down to BSU and LSU ... I ll be sporting purple and yellow for the first time ever, and trying not to be one of "those" LSU fans that everyone else talks about!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure hoping to see BSU vs. LSU. What a great game to look forward too and hope for! I remember games of kick the can with my brother and friends. We were awesome at that game!
ReplyDeletei remember getting my shoelaces stuck in the chain of my bicycle and having the back wheel come off the ground until i was looking at the ground and the front wheel and then falling over on my face. i didn't learn how to ride a 2 wheel bike until i was 9. so i must have been about 10 or 11.
ReplyDeletei remember pulling weeds in the bean fields, singing: the cockleburs sits in the old bean field, eating all the beans so we won't have a yield. stop cocklebur, stop, cocklebur, save some beans for me!
ReplyDeleteand then on the good memory spectrum:
i remember searching out little baby kitten litters. and finding them. and waiting for their eyes to open so we could play with them. and then baptising them.
