Hey, y'all,
This weekend was an exciting one for my grandson. He lost his first tooth Friday evening! He very seriously asked me if I knew what that meant. When I asked what, he replied "I am almost grown up!" And he meant it. He thinks that now that he has lost a baby tooth, and has "grown-up tools", and is in kindergarten, too, he must be almost grown up. I just told him not to hurry, because he will be a grown-up for a lot longer than he will be a boy. He wasn't impressed. Why do you spend 20 years wishing to be a grown-up, just to spend at least part of the next 60 wishing you were young again?

Hey y'all,
Yesterday was something else, wasn't it? Bush is (finally) out! The library had a tv set up so we and the patrons could watch the whole ceremony, and when it was done, the library patrons broke out in applause! We did NOT try to shush them. Everyone was very excited and smiling at everyone else, and there was an atmosphere of hope and happiness coming from almost everyone in the building. Nice.
I hope my grandson got to see it. He was so excited when Obama won. He DID tell me that he was for Obama because he liked to say his name, but then he is 5 years old. His big deal this weekend was to teach Grandma wii games. Well, here is to the next 4 years!

EEEEEK!!!
Hey, y'all,
Well, the week progressed, and the temp today when I left for work was -10 degrees. Wind chill was -25. F not C. COLD!!! All those complaints about hot weather, cost of living, bugs and hurricanes from my last blog are beginning to seem minor. Very minor. The high today is supposed to climb all the way to 5 degrees! At least I don't live in Fargo, ND. I think that I heard that it was -35 there. Before the wind chill was factored in! Baby, it's cold outside!

Winter
Hey Y'all,
I HATE WINTER!!! It is altogether too cold, and is to get colder as this week progresses. Days like these I just want to move to a tropical island somewhere. Of course, I would probably just complain about the heat, then. Maybe somewhere like northern California...but then I would complain about the cost of living. How about Texas? Nah...bugs there are huge. Florida? Hurricanes. Oh, well. Maybe I should just put on an extra layer and tough it out. After all, my grandson lives here. How on earth could I leave him? Cold or not, I seem to be in Ohio to stay. But why does cold weather seem so much colder at 56 than at 10?:)

Hey y'all,
Just a few days after I posted the video of Earth Kitt, she died. On Christmas Day, as a matter of fact. At the age of 81. I think she would have probably planned it that way, had she the chance to. Anyone who could sing that song so well, and then break up laughing at the end had to have a good sense of humor.
