A Midsummer's Night WEEK!

A Shakespearean week in the round.

Preface: Two older people.
Location: House and environs.
Protagonist: one 14 month old girl.
Extras: Toys everywhere and one Son.

But first:


So we have been baby sitting our Granddaughter since Wednesday night. I could leave it there, refer you to the damage reports, localized earthquakes and other natural disasters and walk away but.....

Its been nothing like that.

Other than we are so old and set in our ways that inserting a 14 month old into the "life of relaxing" we have flings things into the air. Nothing bad. We are just on her schedule..if you can call it a schedule.. more like flexible guidelines... We took the time off so that we could do everything and also survive the lack of sleep and the aches and pains a little wild child will inflict in her moving from thing to thing at speed.

A vacation from a vacation.

She has been a dream. Nothing like a normal child. More like a little person whom wants to know all the things right now ...or at the same time. Photogenic and funny.... happy and frustrated by our lack of alacrity.

Its been fun taking pictures of her while she uses all her facial features to emote to us. We only have her until Tuesday or so then parents will be back and we wont see her until Sunday.

She has been in front of a camera since she was born. She is cuter than all get out.

Low light shots are impossible to get in focus as she moves so quickly. Here she has her own keyboard to use, though she would rather mine. She understands tapping a screen to stop a video and also how to turn the sound up and down. Calling Australia has been foiled a few times so far.

Full light and a nice focused shot. She has some great poses and faces. This is because she thinks Im crazy because I was taking a picture instead of getting the thing she wanted from the table. Dog butt photobomb.

Here she is reclining to watch Trolls again on the couch. Alligator toy nearby. Soft blanket wrapped. She then leaned against me leaving a drool line as her head moved to a more comfortable position against my chest. Baby drool is just fine. I think everything in the house has some drool on it now.. hahaha.

She is now off to her mid morning after breakfast pre early lunch nap. She has her priorities placed perfectly.

During all this and because I refused to miss one bit of our time with her  I didn't go flying but it was too windy to fly for me anyway. I did buy some music that I wandered across while the baby was watching movies or playing with her toys. Vangelis... of which I have most of the albums purchased already but these were remastered and cheap. Then I found some oldies albums that were mixed and bought those. Nostalgia big time.

Surprising how much memories are all attached to music in my head. One song can open a door on so many memories and memories are pretty clean to my brain, not unlike flashes of pictures are when surfing your photo album.

Other than watching the baby its been surfing the web.... we did go to the Aquarium which was fun but Emmers was not very interested in the whole thing cause you cant touch the fish. Perhaps we will revisit that some other time. Its too windy to go out to the park today so we will try that tomorrow.

Other items coming up. ... INVADER ZIM is coming back!!! That is worth it all there. We have not watched that yet but maybe Emmers needs to see the early versions... yeah.


One of my favorite pictures of Patturns In Czech ( Terpsnickery) The contrast of the yellows and whites and black and then the blues. SWEET!
Many rally's coming up here soon. Angel Fire and Erie in Colorado then maybe another between then and Fiesta. Still waiting on our acceptance to Fiesta. Long wait this year due to their processing process. Wont hear anything till next Friday.


I was asked for directions to the launch site in Rio Rancho this weekend.......

It was not good enough so I had to go find this one to post.

It was still too windy though some did fly.

Saw these on the web and had to clip them. We are looking at the below for sound instead of smoking in the office... hahahaha... funny.

And less that is said about clothing choices lately in and out of Walmart..... woooo...


Seriously funny....

Go enjoy life... within parameters... or as is said.. everything in moderation.

I've been moderating.. ready for so excesses..LOL

Okay.. not quiet yet.

Have a wonderful week and then Wonderful Easter.
