As I was watching my grandson David this weekend we decided to sit down and watch some TV, kind of take a break from the non stop world of a six year old. I was absolutely shocked at what they are calling kids cartoons now. I had no idea there was so much suggestive stuff plus all the very graphic violence. The cartoons that we watched when I was his age, even when my own kids were that age are nothing like the total crap they are watching now days. I am not a prude but I was very offended by it, and it needs to be stopped before more kids are ruined by TV.
Mother’s Day
Yesterday was a wonderful day for me, my kids made me breakfast in bed and they let me sleep until almost noon, it was grand. Then they cleaned the house these are the kids that will not pick up their own dirty socks and put them in the hamper. I wish every Sunday was Mother’s Day in this house. I then got to talk to my Mom for almost an hour last night, that topped off a wonderful day for me. i want to say thank you to the kids who tried very hard and their dad who helped I am sure behind the scenes. Now back to the grind of everyday life.
Abby is headed to Broadway
My wonderful sister has given me the most perfect birthday present, Broadway tickets to a show in June, I love my sister and I love the fact that she really knows exactly what I wanted for my birthday this year. She will be going with me to the show and I can not think of a better partner to attend this great show. She got our discount tickets at Broadways Best Shows. Broadways Best Shows has a lot of nice information on the Broadway shows and that made picking the show we will be going to much easier for me.
Broadways Best Shows had many to pick from everything from musicals to classic Broadway plays, I have chosen to go see Hair, this is a play that I have always wanted to see and now is my chance. Broadways Best Shows has a very nice newsletter you can sign up for to recieve emails on upcoming show and best of all you can recieve further discounts to the Broadway show you want to go to, and that is a huge plus in these hard economic times.
I can not wait for June to get here this will be a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives, and I can not stand the waiting.
Moles
We have had a problem with moles in our front yard all summer and the yard looks like a mole play ground. We have put out bait and mole traps to no avail.
The best defense against the moles has been our little dog, Diva. She has caught 8 moles so far this summer. She is a damn good hunter and has tracked the moles to their dens and caught them. Of course, she leaves the mangled corpse for me to clean up, but then, what is a dog’s human for? Clean up after them, and keep them fed and petted.
We love our dogs and Diva is our baby for sure.
BBQ time
This year on the 4th of July we have decided to grill some ribs, this is not one of the items we cook on the grill very often. We bought a couple of racks of ribs for the grill, we are going to use two different marinades on the meat and we are having corn on the cob cooked on the grill and a salad. Not a huge meal but it will be great eating. We try to have the family over on most holidays and this is no exception. For the 6 year old grandson we will be cooking him some hot dogs he is not a huge fan of ribs. Happy July 4th to everyone, make it a safe holiday.
Spring cleaning
It seems that every spring I have so much junk that has accumulated up over the past year that it takes me a couple of days to sort through it and get it to the curb to be hauled off. I do not know how it mounts up so fast or for that fact where it comes from, I am not a pack rat, I do not think so any way. The kids are gone so it is me and Walter making this mess each year, I am going to blame Walter he is old and grumpy anyway so he will not mind. Well this rant is done so back to throwing away Walter’s junk. Where did he get three over sized hula skirts anyway?
