Need a little help?


From 2010-06-18 Life

This sign always makes me smile. I wonder if visiting the Brain Mansion would bring good results for middle aged women with lagging memories?


Last Saturday, Jared took the above photo to the barber. When they asked how he wanted his hair cut, he showed them. ::snort:: The barber is an elderly, Japanese gentleman. Stoic. At the end of the cut, he called another barber over and had Jared show his photo. They both broke into smiles and polite laughter. Jared felt success.

Friday night, we showed the photo to Akikosan. She laughed LOUD and hard...and couldn't stop. Score.

Spectacular Saturday



Today seemed like the perfect day to bring out the bubbles. We have a nice long area of grass to enjoy this summer. Our yard, our neighbor decided she needed to go home because her dh is deployed, and then a common area...so lots of grassy area to enjoy....



The neighborhood kids also had a water fight. I thought it was far to cold for such. Tis the season for all banner of critters to begin showing up in various water bottles.....INSIDE my house. I've re-established with Zander that any critter in a bottle IN MY HOUSE, will be thrown away. ::snort::
A neighbor found a mouse. We don't seem to have that trouble. I think the 4 ft rat snake did it's part....but we are fighting these guys.


I spent a part of the afternoon getting to know part of this year's local PWOC board.


Have you ever seen tools on a cake?



We went to see Disney's Ocean tonight. Wow - the message was loud and clear - personally, I think they'd get a better response if they preached a little less and let the stunning photography speak for itself. We've been studying oceans this year, and the nature views WERE breathtaking. I did point out to the kids that all the "pristine ocean" shots from "billions of years ago" were, in fact, filmed last year. ::snort:: I'm that sort of movie goer. Blame it on 26 1/2 years of married life. ::grin::  It was fun to see several families we know at the movies.

We enjoyed another treat that Akiko brought last night. Like miniature Dairy Queen treats.




I worked on grabbing data from an online survey and putting it into a PowerPoint presentation for our upcoming, local board planning meeting.

The other big news of this week is that Jared now has a "driver's permit". He can only drive on base. We have to log 9 hours before he can have a license....so....we hope to start tomorrow.



As we ended the day I suddenly remembered: "I started yogurt 12 hours ago!" ::snort:: Good thing I remembered THAT.


All in all, it's been a very good day. We're missing Michael today....but every day gone is a day closer to being together again.....
