Watch your step - The turkeys are back again, they come almost daily. Turkey season starts March 24th, so they have a couple of months more to visit. I thought it was really neat seeing them out my window every day in the grass… until one day while crossing the yard I had to do the hopscotch to avoid the generous turkey gifts left behind…
Commercial break - What does it mean when the television shows we are watching have commercials for bladder incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and laxatives? I remember watching shows where the commercials were for fun stuff like Mountain Dew - the one where the young people were jumping into the water from a rope. Maybe we need to change our programing…
Fun words - When Madison was sewing last week, I told her to make sure the edges of the fabric lined up, and that she sewed in a straight line, so her quilt wouldn't be all cattywampus. She laughed out loud, and kept repeating the word over and over, liking the way it sounded. She told me she also liked the words perpendicular and precipitation.
Here's your sign- The headline in the newspaper in nearby Blue Ridge is 'Sixteen stolen county road signs have been recovered, four Fannin County High School students have been charged in the case.' Yep, my old high school - not much has changed, boys will still be boys.To err is human - I like to keep up on my proofreading skills by reading the local newspaper. I looked at the newspaper online site to see if they indeed had proofreaders working there, and found this listing: Alice Adkins - Proof Reader and Lou Anne Nunn - Proofreader. Enough said. And check out this neat table of proofreaders' marks here.
Walk it off - On CBS Sunday morning, they were touting the health benefits of walking, showing Scott Williamson who hiked 5,310 miles from Mexico to Canada and back on the Pacific Crest Trail. And I thought I did pretty good to do 5 miles !
