isn't that awesome??!
And that red face meant it was time to pack up and head on home for some yummy dinner.
It was a very lovely weekend and I'm sad that it's over so soon. Last night, Orion and I finally lugged the crapped out bookcases out to the curb and managed to get that huge armoire into the van to be donated to Goodwill later on today. I love having my living room back! There's so much more room! I could do back flips if I knew how! It makes me want to sprawl out on the floor and roll all over the place haha. But, today I'm sick with a cold or something. I feel pretty yucky and mostly just want to sleep it off. Oh, in a perfect world, right?

Maddox is getting such a big boy face! Red cheeks are cute! And that playground is a DREAM! Nice!
FUN! I can see why they were begging to go play there! It's huge!
Let's see, what did I have to play on, when I was a kid? Trees, lots of trees. Trees to climb and fall out of. Ah! I also had the flagpole in front of Mildred Magowan Elementary School. I knew Mrs. Magowan, the first principal of that school. She held me on her lap in 1956 and gave me a lollypop. Soon thereafter, she croaked from cancer. We all gathered in front of the school and planted a tree in her memory, and the name of the school was changed to honor her. I served hard time there, kindergarden through 8th grade, and am a better man for it. Anyway, near that memorial tree was and is a flagpole. I could take the flag rope, run on top of the wall nearby holding the rope and fly out like a wild maniac, around and around the pole. I'm sure it must have been illegal, a breach of good morals or fattening, but I never got in trouble for it, meaning they never caught me. I was wild back then and had to be licensed and tagged at the nearby animal control facility. I only barked and growled for the first 12years of my life. Yeah, I could climb any tree and run like a chicken for a cricket. Nowadays, of course, I just shuffle along, stop every few yards to catch my breath, wave to the widows and pick up a lost penny here and there. Your kids are wonderful. They look like they have endless energy. I love their mother.
Love, Dad
