Mascot Update: Calendar Cuties

Mama Buzz made us this calendar for Christmas last year.  I’m a little sad about having to turn this page over to October tomorrow morning.  It’s been such a joy to see it all month!

THE BEST TIME OF THEIR LIVES

The shining monument to greed, avarice, corruption, hypocrisy, pomposity, treachery, tyranny and sophistry still stands in our nation’s capitol. We will deal with it in the fullness of time.

As I sat last Saturday, watching my grandson and his teammates on the Winnebago Indian Junior Tackle squad do battle with the Oregon Hawks, I couldn’t help but muse how fortunate these young people were. They have the support of moms, dads, siblings, grandparents and friends. Parents pay for their uniforms and equipment, make sure they make it to practice and to games and usually some family time afterwards. All the kids have to worry about is having a good time, listening and learning from their coaches, and practicing good sportsmanship. Coming from a small town they’ve yet to be touched by racial hatred. They still have time for video games, texting and such, but they have no concerns about the burdens and responsibilities they’ll face as adults. They will never be this young, this energetic, this carefree ever again and it will be a long time before they look back and remember these days fondly. How I envy them.

Mascot Update

Buzz and Bunny are making the most of Alaska’s short, but very bright summer. 2015_05 Mascot Update Mama Buzz loves to garden and quite possibly loves even more to share her garden photos with her avid-but-homebound gardener mommy. 2015_05 29 Begonias male and female Begonias grow male and female flowers on the same plant. I did not know this! The male is the one on the left with the yellow stamens.

FIFTY SHADES OF GARY – A REVIEW

10426128_982186081791620_7100744659945007706_n
JUST KIDDING;I don’t know who this Gary character is or why progs are dampening their underwear in anticipation of throwing down fifty bucks for tickets and popcorn to see whatever it is this Gary does. My beloved child bride and I went to a movie last year and may not go to another for years. We have all the premium channels and anything we want to see will be there eventually. I just have a problem paying money to see a bunch of high school dropouts making millions of dollars saying lines somebody else wrote and thinking that makes their political opinion superior to everybody else’s.

We’re having a movie night tomorrow night all right,with our favorite overnight guests,Miss Isabel and Miss Olivia. We’ll either watch Frozen, Planes ,or my favorite, Over The Hedge. Their favorite tape,actually,is a VHS I have of Christmas cartoons from the 30’s and 40’s. They watch it almost every time they’re here. We’ll enjoy their favorite supper,hot dogs and mac and cheese,then they’ll cuddle with grandma (I’m not as upholstered as she is) and have the kind of good time money can’t buy.I can’t ask for any more.

Here is a review of ‘Fifty Shades’…apparently they spelled the name wrong. There are pictures in the article,but I won’t post any. They’re not worth the bandwidth.

‘Nobody sweats, nobody strains… nobody orgasms’: Frustrated movie critics want MORE sex in Fifty Shades of Grey as flaccid flick fails to get them hot under the collar
Critics said tame feature film, out on February 13, was ‘run of the mill’
One pointed out that lead Jamie Dornan mostly keeps his pants on
BDSM props deployed on Dakota Johnson were also termed ‘vanilla’
It was often remarked that EL James novels were far more explicit

BoB has too much class to brag on her grandson,Kiran. I however,do not suffer such an affliction. Her precious is already a month old. And,I trust,spoiled rotten. This is what life is all about.

I did this when I was unhitching my fishing partner’s boat once. The pain was exquisite.
