Options-Selection-Result

On Sunday, October 10th we took a family outing to Hubers. Not sure that trip will be on our yearly agenda. There was more that resembled an outdoor big box store than there was that resembled a farm. But Ruby had a good time. The final result is a fast molding pumpkin on our front porch. The weather is too warm to support longevity for this feller. This is Ruby's first Jack-O-Lantern.

The History of Play

Tonight I asked the kids that gather in the back yard each evening if they wanted to play dodge ball. When one of them said "sure" but then started talking about rules I had no clue about I started describing the game as I knew it. Kris blurted out... "Oh yeah. I saw it played that way on history channel." Perfect. I guess that means I'm a geezer. But this geezer has good aim.

Ruby on the Rocks

Were I to have my druthers, here is a partial list of materials I would prefer my daughter play with:
Wood
Wool
Stone
Sand
Bone
Shell
Water
Soil
Cotton
Iron
Rock
Leaf
There are surely more things. But the list of things I would rather not be in her life is much longer. And I can't spell most of them.
