Where I ramble on about nothing much

Like it's any different from normal really?

Saturday we went to see the Shanghai Acrobats. Time for True Confessions. We saw the Shanghai Acrobats in Shanghai in 1999. Be we, I mean Darren and I were both occupying seats. I, however, have only seen pictures of the event because I was quite soundly asleep. We had just gotten in after a red eye and the tour company thought it would be fun. I never thought I would fall asleep because it was so cold in the theater. I was wrong.

This time however, I managed to stay awake, and quite enjoyed it. James (who no longer wishes to be called Jamie, please remind me) is no balancing on our fence, practicing to run away to the acrobats, I suppose.

Having told him that we were going to see the Acrobats, I left it at that. He finally said, "Yes, but what ARE they. Some kind of bat?" Oh, yeah, maybe I should explain that.

Sunday we spent weeding on a very blustery day. However, we are having our green time in So Cal and we can't let the weeds get ahead of us. Soon, I hope to post some of the wildflowers that have burst forth on our property, some of which have lain dormant for at least 2 years, waiting for rain. The difference between a weed and a wildflower: 1) mustard is always a weed, 2) a weed is growing where we don't want it to.

However, I need to (still) deal with the picture issues I'm having. That may result in a change in location for the blog. Stay tuned.

That is so cute. I often forget that M may not know what certain words mean. Glad you enjoyed the show.

That is sweet. Not long ago my middle one informed us that he was longer Josh, he was Joshua. I think it's a growing up stage, but still cute.
Thanks for comment.

I cannot believe you fell asleep!

I am often baffling Becs with words/phrases that I forget she has no premise to base that information on.

She also changes her name to cats, cat, Skippy, Charisma and now Dina ... I never get it right.

Oh, but a weed is but an unloved flower. We have some beautiful weeds in our garden and I pull them. I am sure the people before us planted them as flowers for ground cover. I have a difficult time keeping them at bay.

I could fall asleep anywhere if tired enough. Glad you could see them again.

My kids would be disappointed that they weren't bats. LOL!
