Tomorrow is my youngest son's 30th birthday. A fact I cannot believe. It seems not long ago he was a little boy whose main goal in life was to give his parents as many gray hairs as possible. However, he has grown into a fine man with a good and loving heart and soon he will be a married man to a wonderful girl.
Do you name the wilderness animals that visit your house? I do, which has always brought laughs, rolling eyes and suggestions that I need to get outside more from my family. I have named 2 squirrels who visit my bird feeders Ralph and Alice Kramden from the honeymooners. A group of 6 morning doves that come by every morning are Mr Magoo and his family. The blue jays are Mr and Mrs Jabberwocky and I call all the deer Bambi, big or small. Yes, they laugh at me but not too much lately. You see, my soon to be daughter-in-law does the same thing. And, don't tell them, but I have heard them use the same names when they are looking out the front window. The men in my family are such tough guys. Lol!
Last Christmas, my oldest son sent a fabric tunnel for our cat to play in. He loves it although as you can see he doesn't fit in it very well. Our Al is a rather large cat but he enjoys the parts that are in the tunnel and we enjoy watching him.
I cannot and will not watch news anymore unless it is about the local food market opening up, gardening tips, fun events, etc. I refuse to watch coverage of the horrible, vicious things that humans do to other humans. When I see those things I can only imagine how God must feel who created His children with the power of choice and watch what choices they make.
Now that the weather is getting a little better around here, B and I have been thinking about running away from home for a couple days. Every now and then, we find it is very relaxing and rejuvenating to run away from home and do absolutely nothing.
Happy Birthday to your son! I hope he has a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteYes, I name most of the critters but I'm not very creative. The squirrels are Hoover, the hares are Jack, and the birds are all just birdie. No deer in my yard in the city, thankfully. A friend who lived closer to the edge of the city, had one crash through a raised basement window and die on his daughter's bed. Yikes!
I hope you get your time away. A few days away from home are always wonderful.
Happy Birthday to your youngest son. I find it so strange that my children are getting up in age and often think back to days past.
ReplyDeleteYour cat looks like he is having a wonderful time.
God bless.
