Female Intuition Pays Off -- Again

An  update on the lawn forking:  my female intuition was correct.  Two of Ryan's classmates snuck onto the lawn that evening to "fork" us.  Ron Henry had the same "spring blossoms" in his yard too!  Great fun.  And I was right besides!!! A good day all around.

We've Been Forked!

This is what we found on our lawn this morning--a virtual garden of plastic forks and knives!  We aren't sure who or why but the cats sure had a good time investigating. At first I thought some kind of plants had popped up overnight ready to bloom for spring, and I was close!  I smiled all the way down to the mailbox when I realized.

I was telling Paula about this article I found on CNN about the differences between how men and women think.  Although I've seen several similar articles, I thought this one did a great job of using specific examples to demonstrate the differences.  For example, men tend to have a "protect the turf" kind of instinct than women.  It applies here because I'm thinking this is a cute little stunt probably by some of Ryan's (female--look how neatly they are arranged) classmates.  Jim is leaning more toward someone insulting him and isn't tickled that his turf has been violated.  I guess we will find out eventually but until then, I still think it's kind of fun.

Happy birthday this week to Tim and to Sophie.  It looks like Ryan P pitched last night, although the game didn't go your way.  We are watching you in the papers! 

Happy Easter!

Easter 1958 with Weenie's mother Barbara Flynn (Gammy).  I am not sure where this was taken but it looks like turkey was on the menu that Easter.  What a fancy table setting!  I like that Nanny's dishes are on the table (maybe this indicates it was at their house).  I'm just noticing that it looks like there are only 4 place settings for adults.  Chris would have been just a few months old and Mom was probably just recently pregnant with Kathy.  It's stuff like this that keeps me going--what is the story behind this picture?

Happy Birthday to Tim next week!  Enjoy your Easter weekend--remember the days when we had to spend Good Friday afternoon quietly??  And it was so hard because it would be a day like today??

Play Ball!

First game 2010!
OK, we lost but it turned out to be a fairly nice afternoon for a good game with good company--thanks for coming over Paula!  We had dinner together and it was just a great way to start vacation.

Here's a dancing picture.

It is his favorite.

Notice he's right in the middle of it all.

I wonder where he gets that from.

His "girlfriend" has the long red hair.

Aren't they handsome?

Maybe he is just a thorn between two (very cute) roses?
