Word of the Day #12 - PLAY -Stacey Julian

The last word of the "Word of the Day" workshop.  What a fun word!  As an adult, I don't think much about "playing" or at least I didn't until I had grandchildren.  Now, I find so much enjoyment getting down on the floor (it's not always easy to get up) and play with my granddaughters.  Building with blocks and then watching their excitement as they knock them over so it can be rebuilt, pushing a toy that makes noise and watching their joy as they see the balls popping up and down, putting a puzzle together and watching their diligence as they put each piece in correctly, and going to the playground to swing.  Maybe it's not the "play" that makes me happy, but rather seeing M & P's expressions as they discover new things.

But, as I think about my life now, I do "PLAY".  I have my own toys to play with and discover new things and make things that I enjoy sharing with others.

I don't get to play with M & P as often as I would like, but thinking about playing with them makes me happy and look forward to the next visit.  In the meantime, I'll play with my toys as often as I can!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
