Weekend

Our weather changed from balmy to bad over the weekend but it made for good reading time. I continue to make progress in the BIG clean-up and out. For me it takes time to think it through.

Some things which seem useless are worth a second chance. For example we have this wooden elephant that has sat on the upstairs lamp stand for years. It has round discs that you stack in some type of game format on the elephant's back but they have only been used as shims to keep the attic access closed tightly for who knows how long. Gotta go I reasoned, we have a new attic access now, no need for the shim substitutes and how do you play the game anyway? But before tossing it in the thrift store pile, I decided to check on line and actually found the rules to the game on this all things elephant website. You roll dice to determine how many discs get stacked until someone topples the stack. It will be fun to play with M & L since it is basically a counting game and by using two (or more) dice instead of the suggested one, the stack should tumble quickly. Another bonus, a short game!

A very cute read is Flush by Carl Hiassen. It's a kids book but don't let that stop you. It is his usual fast pace and snappy to read type plot.

Cute Overload is a favorite website to check in with and today was no exception. There is an artist in all of us.
