Life in My World


Last night Seemore fetched dead black birds and left them on the door step as trophies. Last count was 25. Ugh. I hate to spoil a bird dog's enthusiasm, but you only need "four and twenty to bake in a pie." (No, no. I won't be using them.)

Remember when meme’s sped around blog world? I haven’t seen them for a long time. Here’s one for today if you’d like to play along.

What do you usually have for breakfast?
A peanut butter sandwich with a scoop of applesauce on the side. It may not be appetizing, but it’s portable.

What are three characteristics in others that you appreciate?
Confidence. Humility. Skills.

What are three characteristics in yourself that you appreciate?
I like people. Happy. Grateful.

If you could visit any period of history for one month, which one would you definitely NOT choose.
Anything during the dark ages. No knights, no round table for me.

What was your favorite toy as a child?
Roller skates, jacks, or bike.

What is one of your little talents that has given you big rewards?
Teaching. Listening to students add their two cents, or watching them grasp a new concept, or hearing them re-teach what they have learned has greatly enlarged my understanding and knowledge.

What fruit describes you best and why?
A banana. They’re predictable. You always know what texture and taste to expect from a banana, unlike an apple, orange, or pineapple.

What do you think would improve your country?
A return to family values.

When you’re shopping are you most like a skunk, whale, bear, or eagle? Why?
Skunk. Definitely skunk. I’m black or white; I either love shopping or hate it.

When you’re working are you most like a mountain, river, ocean, or meadow? Why?
Ocean. I’m always trying to steer people to bigger horizons.

What do you most appreciate about your family?
I appreciate that they are quick to forgive and take care of each other.

If a movie were being made of your life, what actor/actress would you like to play you?
I’d hate to ask her to put on forty pounds, but Sandra Bullock could make my foibles endearing rather than disgraceful.

Oooh, I haven't read a good meme in a while. It was fun to see one pop up again.

We are just discovering the joys of playing jacks in our family. (Aimee got a set from a friend at her birthday party last week)

Where is See-More getting all those birds? I know Seymour... he's stupid. We all know he isn't catching those birds on his own. Did someone leave some temik out?

I got a giggle out of your four and twenty joke. Four and twenty for your pie. One for Seymour to gnaw on.

If, by some MIRACLE, Seymour is catching those birds... you may talk Ray into taking him for a week. He has a few (thousand) crows he'd like to see on the front step.

I love you mom,
Cali
