    OB, I can just picture you going up to Blondes at the ball park and introducing yourself: “Excuse me, Ma’am. I’m Old Bopper. Are you Ms.Blondie?” That makes me smile!

    Dry Ice experiments today! Mark is super excited.

    Yesterday, I was explaining to the kids that when you twirl the corrugated tube (smaller swimming pool stuff, this time!) the air is sucked up from the bottom. I was putting a plastic bag over the bottom and blowing into the pipe to inflate the bag so that they could see the air deflate the bag when I whirled it. A 1st grader was watching intently, then spoke up: couldn’t you turn it upside down and whirl it to fill up the bag instead of blowing into it? I was stunned! Yes, you should be able to. I did. I wonder what thought process went through his mind? He understood exactly the physics of the process I was demonstrating! 1st GRADE! I made him a Mad Science badge and put it on an old lanyard of Mr. H’s. I also told his mama! That kid made my day!

      LOL! I told them,”I’m looking for a nice lady who volunteers to help veterans and told me she sits on this row during the games. She has blonde hair and that’s all I know. Do you volunteer to help veterans?”

      When they said they didn’t volunteer, I told them I am a veteran and just wanted to thank her for what she does. One lady’s husband thanked me for being a veteran!

    Mawnin’ y’all. A beautiful morning out there. Hope this finds everybody doing better than yesterday.

    MrsH, that 1st grader was on the ball!

    I may have to put a second coat of paint on one wall. It has some dark splotches in it. It just may be the surface….I painted over paint which was painted over wall paper. Yeah, yeah, I know better but I really am hesitant to strip the paper from the wall. I’d probably have to put new sheetrock in the whole room.

    Note to self: When you put too much hot water in your instant oatmeal, you can’t take it back. I have oatmeal soup.

    MrsH, that’s one sharp kid!

    Mornin. I had to put down an armload of sleeping puppies so I could come to work. Sure hated to disturb their slumber, even though they don’t mind disturbing mine at 5 am. It’s 8:05 and I am all alone at the office. I’m not supposed to be alone. Today is Friday, not Saturday, right?

    I smiled too when I pictured OB going up to the blond women at the ballpark.

    MrsH, one student wh0se thought processes work that way makes it all worth while.

    I’m going to see True Grit this afternoon, the modern version, which is showing free at our library. And we have a dance tonight with the same man and women who sang so well the last time. I would like to go to it.

    I just heard the strangest story that I must share. A co-worker has a mature, unfixed male yard cat. He showed up a few days ago with a kitten less than two weeks old. They have no idea where it came from. No females in the area they know of. The male cat plays with the little kitten and my friend’s wife and kids are bottle feeding it and othewise caring for it. He said his cat actually seems to be fond of the baby. I’ve never heard of such!

    Great list, jb. I was at Sate during the Brantley,Palmero, Thigpen, Clark days…..what a team.

    And just as I read the list, some of my clients walk in and one of them is an old classmate! I had no idea where he was, or knew of the success he has achieved. My mind is officially blown.

    Happy anniversary msblondie and mrblondie!

    PD left tje building about 2 today for his new destination. Now that his roitine is broken, I hope this does not cause him a rough night. He only attempted to leave the bed only one time last night. They do not allow to use the lower rails of the bed since this is considered as restraints. I think due to past history he has tried 4-5 times since this past Saturday. I think that is worth having then up.

    Mr. H is going to a free class on virtual music (loops and such) at Guitar Center this morning. Then stopping by Lowes to get stuff to start on our back patio. :) Fixed my girls some blueberry muffins (bisquik and some blueberries I found in the freezer.) Not to shabby!

    I’ll be cleaning out the inside of my car. Beach visits and VBS have left their mark! Taking Em and a friend up to MSU tomorrow for a week of Women in Science & Engineering Camp. Then, when Mr. H gets back, we’ll work on cleaning up the inside of HER truck.

    Checking in! Baby Girl is in Gulf Shores. We’ve been doing some fishing-bream should be bedding next weekend! Woot! Allergies are killing me, Mr Fab does NOT require back surgery, but back to PT and Pain Mgmt he goes.
    I’m thinking about making some changes. Big Ones. Will keep you posted as (if/when) they happen.

    Sports? How DARE you leave out Jerry Rice, Fred McAffee and Marcus Dupree???

    I’ll check in later. PM, I think Select is just what PD
    needs. Best wishes and prayers!
