Did anyone watch V? We didn't but our DD1 and her hubby did reminded me of those people snakes in those old movies.


They also watched Spartagus.or however you spell it that is totally gross...I don't think those Roman's even had half of the words they use in that program......EEEEUUUU...


We don't grill I could never get anything to cook or it cooked to much.....then when everyone was telling me about how to do it,,,,, it is so fun.....the hot side, the cool side, rasie it, lower it, baste it don't baste it.......and it goes on and on.. reminded me why I don't go bowling..years ago my sister and Del bowled a lot, Del sometimes 3 times a week. So one Sunday they said let's go bowling it is fun......it is just a game, come on it is sooooo fun.....


Let me tell you how fun it was.


I got up to bowl, (I had gone a couple times before) but here is what was going on behind me.....


"Stand to the left, Stand to the right, watch the arrows, don't loft the ball, feet one in front of the other, stand up straight, bend your knees, keep your knees straight..


So I turned and sat my ball in the rack and turned to look at them and said.....I may be wrong but my idea of fun and games are different than yours I guess because this is neither fun or a game....if you think so them go play it.. I am going to go play with an axe murderer NOW THAT IS FUN...............


And I went to the bar and had a drink.......never went again.....so NOT fun.....lol


Years later when a friend told me she wanted me to go golf with her.....I was very nice to her and said I think that is one of those things that is too fun for me when I want to have that much fun I will go sit in the yard and watch the grass grow....nwo that is fun.......I wasn't going to put myself in that place again. I knew what she would be like....


My revenge? They don't think Trivial Pursuit is fun either makes me feel on top of the world when I beat the pants off them.....LOL,LOL.....they call me names but I never told stood behind them and told them how stupid they were because they couldn't answer those questions......lol.....see how nice I am....


The black birds are really thick this year. I have an a humming bird come to the feeder but not often and I think it is either because of the wind or the black birds. We have many birds here.


Del has helped 2 people with their campers this morning...


Going to go out and see what is going on out there.


 


Retired and lovin'it.

Shari - you nailed it about needing to be really into something. DH loves to go target shooting. Sure - he was captain of the rifle team in ROTC. I, on the other hand, learned to shoot late in life, but it was just another thing I thought I should know how to do "just in case". Now I can take it or leave it. We belong to 2 clubs. One is for pure shooting (8 miles away), the other is on a lovely piece of land with a pond for fishing and lots of old shade trees (30 miles). DH keeps suggesting we "pop out to the range" (the close one) to shoot a few rounds. Doesn't appeal to me much. I prefer the other one which is an outing - we pack lunch, I take a book and there are usually nice folks to visit with. He just doesn't get it. Plus, he waits until I'm either exhausted from work, or have just settled down to relax, then complains I'm a spoil sport. He also doesn't get that I really DO need to clean up & look decent to go - not just put on a cap, sunglasses & head out the door. Men & women - always a laugh.

Now I can play board games for hours, but he gets antsy. I love that the younger DGrDs are into games. Am teaching one an old game called Rail Barron.
