Grandpa and I were bored on Saturday when we went with Jim to the mall.  We went into Macy's ... and they were having a sale .... and we saw pretty things .... did I mention we were bored?

Soooo, whatda think?

Ted Talks & Grandpa

Grandpa and I eat breakfast together most days

listening to Ted Talks.

Why Ted Talks you ask?

He won't sing to them.

(Singing = Not Eating)

 

SOOOO....

 

This morning we were watching this Ted Talk

by Kenneth Lacovara on Hunting for Dinosaurs

It is a great talk.  Go to the 57 second mark and it shows a

chart about dinosaur time periods.

 

Here's the conversation:

 

(Kenneth talking about finding specific dinosaurs during specific time periods...)

G'pa:  He's right.

Me:  Right about what?

G'pa:  Where to find dinosaurs, like me.

Me: (giggling) Where's that?

G'pa:  (pointing at the chart)  At the bottom.

 

This guy!!!

Related Much?

Grandpa got up early,

Tylor stayed up late,

Grandpa was rather surly,

Tylor was G'dawg's first mate!

 

Now all is quiet,

Oh, and if I haven't stated,

I'm extremely happy with it,

Knowing these two are related!

 

 

We've Added Two Feet to Our Home!!

Cupcake War

So, let me tell you the tale of the cupcake wars. 

Long, long ago (yesterday) there were two clashing factions (Me vs. G'pa).  Faction Minecraft Cupcake(MC) wanted nothing more than to turn out 24 cupcakes for a young boy for his birthday celebration.  Faction I-like-green-fondant(ILGF) wanted nothing more than to thwart Faction Minecraft Cupcake.

Faction MC needed extra space to work on the aforementioned cupcakes so she spread out on one end of the dining room table, far, far away from Faction ILGF.  Thinking said cupcakes were perfectly safe from roving bands of Faction ILGF, Faction MC set to work rolling out green fondant.  Faction ILGF asked  what Faction MC was doing and cautiously Faction MC replied.  (Faction MC is wary of Faction ILGF at all times around food.)  Twice Faction ILGF started to pull the table cloth towards his end and twice Faction MC stopped the potential land grab.  Faction MC finally decided a large paper clip was necessary to keep her side from going over a cliff.

Faction MC decided to lob Faction ILGF a chocolate bar to  distract them from possible incursion into Faction MC territory.  But, alas, Faction MC needed ammunition.  Quickly (10 seconds people) Faction MC hurried to get said ammo.  Arriving back to lock and load distraction candy bar Faction MC found Faction ILGF with a mouthful of green fondant.

NOOOOOOooooooo!!!

This act of war required Faction ILGF to stand up, reached clear across the table, grab fondant and sit down within 10 seconds.  Who knew at almost 89 Faction ILGF had it in him.  And, to add insult to the attack, Faction ILGF spit out green fondant and said, "This tastes terrible!".  Seriously?

All was not lost.  Faction MC hurled a salvo distraction and it worked.  Damage was complete with regards to the green fondant but Faction MC had a backup batch.  The day was not lost. 

Whatca Doin' G'Dawg?

Me:  What's with the hat Grandpa?

Steve:  What hat?

 

Way to stay cool dude.

Equal Opportunity Flirt

Grandpa was so happy to hear

he needed a haircut.

You would think that he had been

deprived of this simple treat.

 

Every time we go see the ladies at

SuperCut he smiles and

chats them up.

 

And he doesn't want to leave.

 

I'm thinking I need to have them

wash and dry his hair next time.

Give the man a thrill.
