Simple pleasures..............

.
..........simple pleasures people.

Today was warmer and sunny with only a few clouds.

The youngest granddaughter came to visit. We got to play outside with the dogs and dig in the dirt.........although she kept wanting to wipe her hands on her grandmothers pants. Cartoons were watched.........crayons were rubbed all over the coloring book and occasionally on the little wooden stool.
We watched a youtube video of Mickey Mouse and gang singing the Hot Dog song about a million times.............in a row..............
......even worked in a 2 hour nap together in the big recliner when she got so grumpy neither of us could stand it any more. If there is anything more beautiful than a young child sleeping so deeply they seem to be without bones I've not seen it.

Of course her grandmother got the most time with her. I just made it sound like I was really involved............no big deal to me if she comes or goes.

All in all quite a day full of pleasures of the simple kind.

Now to spend a couple hours with a new book which is supposed to be in the style of the late great John D. MacDonald. Simple pleasures.............

Hope your weekend is going half as good.

Tomorrow (Sun), I'm gonna be in yer neck of the woods(over at the airport, anyway) on a patriot guard mission, sadly, for the Athens Marine recently lost over in the sandbox. :(

Thanks for all you do Kat. People like you mean so much to the family and fellow service men and women of fallen Patriots. God Bless

Would you believe, this is the FIRST time i've EVER been in Athens????? EVER?!

kdzu said...

Kat, no I can't believe you live in Loganville and have never been in The Classic City. Glad you finally made it....... although the reason was sad........your actions and those of other like you were most honorable. We'll have to get together sometime and have some chili.

LOL sad, but true - never been there in my whole life till today! Chili sounds great -- it's one of hubby's most favorite foods!! :-)
