Great Beach Day

                                 It started out at the bike park, then went to the beach. It was warm and beautiful and the rain run off was warmed by the sun, fresh and clear. At first we lost the shoes and then the jeans. We played and played. Then we walked all the way back to the truck wrapped in Grandma's Sweater. Bought a new outfit and got dressed again. It was a perfect day between the storms.

A Baby Changes Everything

The squirrel seemed disturbed and determined to get back into the hole in our apple tree. I clapped my hands and it ran off but reappeared as my husband and I watched. My husband pleaged he would fill the hole in the tree in an attempt to save it. I told him about the squirrel and how determined she was to get back into the tree and that I thought she may have a family in there. Just then the baby stuck it's head up out of the hole. After enjoying the moment, my husband said that it was a good thing that they were cute. We will wait until the family relocates before repairing the apple tree.

A Little Crazy?

What did the psychiatrist say when a man wearing nothing but saran wrap walked into his office?

              "Oh, I can clearly see you nuts."

The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release.

SEX OMG!

A woman in our town has made a big stink about this sign at the church that is located along her school children's route to school. She was incensed that she would have to explain about the word sex to her three children ages 6-10. There were so many responses to her complaints, most well meaning, some just mean. I thought if the children were asking questions, it was time to be honest and explain. Simply, briefly, move on with your life. Since when is sex in a lasting relationship a bad thing? She had sex at least 3 times, right? She said about moving to Los Gatos that she "loved the European atmosphere that exists here. My mind flew to the sexy advertisements, that kind of blew my mind when I was last in Europe. Europeans think of us as a bunch of uptight prudes. Maybe because of people like this woman.
