Better a Late Frag than no Frag at All

.

Friday still has two hours and nine minutes here in the central time zone before it is HISTORY - - - just long enough for me to squeeze in a few fragments.

Three or four "flies" were foolish enough to enter our home this week and NOT "fear" the electric fly swapper.

Sparks flew.

The flies dropped like, well like FLIES!!!

I am VERY thankful to report that no swapping has been done to my backside as I step out of the shower. I'm afraid it would FRY me.

I can't help it.

When I watch the end of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, I choke all up. Those words are SO HARD and those kids are so good!!!

I've never even HEARD of the words, much less have nary a CLUE how to spell them. You know, small, simple words like:

guetapens
schwarmerei
pejerrey
vetiver
cataphract
cabochon
araphorostic
resveratrol
theophylline

Our kids had some family photographs taken. This was my all time fave - - - just look what fun they have together!!!


The two "bookends" in this photo will be coming to "Consin" in about two weeks to spend time with Kamma and Papoo sans mommy and daddy.

The back yard neighbors through the fence opened their pool last Saturday, and then spent all day Sunday swimming in it.

TRUE - - - it was 94 on Sunday.

But that water WASN'T!

You wouldn't catch me putting my white body in such cold water!!!

Of course, no one invited me anyway.

Just a little anniversary card humor. Hope it makes you "spit and snort."

I guess Donna, the neighbor on the other side of our duplex, does not have the brown thumb syndrome from which I seem to suffer.

Don't think any botanical homicide will be goin' on over there - - -

Just look at this cute solar hummingbird light-on-a-stick that Bill and Eloise (pronounced E-Lois) gave us for our anni.














And they soak up enough solar power to glow all night long until dawn breaks the next morning.

No, I do NOT mean that Bill and Eloise glow all night long until dawn breaks the next morning.


They gave us a dragonfly light-on-a-stick too. This one is my fave.















I just love how they slowly change colors all night long.

No, I did NOT stay up all night long just to watch them. I ASSUME if they are glowing and changing colors when I go to bed, and are still doing it when I wake up at 4 AM for a potty run, that they have been doing it all the hours in between.

I think that is a legitimate theory to form on the amount of data I have collected.

Of course, if you want to come over and sit in a lawn chair on my patio all night long to TEST my theory, have at it!

Head on over to Mrs. 4444's place
