The GuitarMan went back to college today. *sigh* He'll be back Saturday though. He is just going to get everything moved back into his dorm room and make sure he is set to go Monday. Little LadyBug seems to be taking it particularly hard. She is such a sensitive soul anyway. The little ones simply adore their brother. He would probably find it hard to believe how quiet it is here without him!
He had not registered or packed yet. So I helped him get his schedule corrected and register. Then he packed and got ready to head out. We went over to a nearby town and had an early supper with him before he left. It was really nice to spend time together. We play a game of clues a lot of times when we are gathered around the table. You'd be surprised how everyone gets in on it and just how challenging and competitive it gets. Last week The FisherMan called our oldest down in Daytona because I had him stumped. (I gave him the option of phoning a friend!) Here are the clues he eventually wound up with. See if you can guess it. Oh, and when we say animal we mean the whole animal kingdom. (makes it more challenging that way!)
1. I am an animal.
2. I am gray.
3. I can be very small or very large.
4. I look shiny but if you touch me it may cut you.
5. I am oily.
6. Men have gotten very rich off of me.
I got them again today.
1. I am an animal.
2. I am not known for my beauty.
3. I am edible.
4. I am usually photographed on the attack.
Son got the first one last week and hubby got the one (finally) today! So do you know what they are?
Afterwards we went by the nursing home and visited with a few of the residents. I don't find it easy to see them in there especially when they start to go downhill. But it is so important that they know they are not forgotten and that God still has purpose in their life. They love to see families come in together and they just delight in the children.
I know this was a random post...maybe slightly chaotic but in a peaceful way? :) But that was how my day was. No particular rhyme or reason just getting things done as they came up. A little laundry here, a little reading there, a little computer here, a little visiting there. Lots of love, lots of laughter, a few tears and frowns along the way. Time for hugs and kisses and lullabys, too. That makes for a full day and a full life! It is so worth it! Enjoy your random days when they happen... that is usually when the memories are made!

Okay- my first guess would be a shark for the first one .... I'm not totally sure about the 2nd ... I'll think about that some more. yes, those random days are nice ... building memories! :)
ReplyDeleteOk ....would the second trivia question be an alligator or croc ?? Hmmm, I may need to consult with my hubby on this one! :) And prob the first! ha! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm .... okay, the first one maybe is a Catfish? And the second a shark? Okay, you have to email me and tell me! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Tiff! You did great on the first one! It was a shark. But the second one is not quite there yet. :) Keep trying!
ReplyDeleteIt was a rockfish! :o)
ReplyDeleteA rockfish for the 2nd riddle? Ha! I don't even know what a rockfish is ...I'll google that one! Now that wasn't easy! :) You got me!
ReplyDeleteTiffany: Yeah, that is why son could not get it. Too much ESPN! We saw it on Discovery Channel and then on Bizarre Foods...I was shocked when hubby did not guess it right away! It looks like a big rock until it strikes. It's an ugly thing!
