Facebook Musings

Posted on February 24th, 2010 by Ma

Since joining the ranks of FB zombies, I was still a little baffled by its appeal, but then I realized why  it’s been a long time since we updated the blog.  Facebook has sort of taken the place of the stream of consciousness posting that sometimes occurs here.  It’s a lot easier to write a random thought, no frills, over in FB than to compose a blog entry.  And, after all, do we really need an entire blog  to say, essentially, “Holy Freaking God, When Is This Damned Winter Going To Be Over?”, which is pretty much what our Ohio February lives are like.   So I guess the FB appeal is to let our “friends” in on the minutiae of our humdrum lives without the burden of worrying about composition.

Not that this is particularly well-composed, but still.

I’m sure we’ll post more blog entries when we can get some sun and fresh air and blow away the winter brain-fog that grips us every February.   Oh, and as my silvery stripe of growing out gray hair becomes more visible, I’ll be sure and share the horror of accepting my 60 year old hair with grace and dignity :-D .

Good Morning, Akron

We got ours overnight . . . our snow, that is.   We should be done in a few more hours.   Looks like about a foot so far.

Lima Visit

Posted on January 17th, 2010 by Pa

We delivered the toy fridge and spent last evening and this morning with Mike, Jenn, Caleb and Owen.   It was a fun visit, and we staged some photos for manipulation before we left.   You can see the results here.  I think we’ll need a bigger place to gather for vacations — with all the additional children and grandchildren.

Major Appliance Ready for Delivery

I built this play fridge for Caleb and Owen — an addition to the kitchen set they received for Christmas.   I hope they have as much fun playing with it as I had building it.
