Just had my coffee and I am chomping at the bit to go. Go clean house, that is. Yes, I have some serious cleaning to do today on this cold day in Oklahoma City. Can't work outside so I have no excuse not to work inside. As I said yesterday, being retired is a lot like WORK. And I will work..............right after I take one more look at Pinterest.
Pinterest is one big picture magazine, isn't it? I should print off the pictures and turn them into a coffee table book. Wouldn't that be a fun book? I am beginning to think that we citizens of the world have no patience for an actual magazine, let alone a book. No, just give us pictures. Pictures that can flow in and out of our brains in an instant....... Oh, I have just thought of this, do you think that we and the following generations will have a greater instance of Alzheimer's disease because of how much is flowing through our brains and never committed to memory? We are "in the moment" for only a moment, not even a second.............quicker than a lightening bolt the images are gone.
We have little tolerance of anything that takes any effort. Can you imagine a child taking the time to build a model? Of course, there are exceptions, and I have proof of those exceptions in my own grandchildren, but on average of all the children in the USA........ I wish I had a "sigh" button and I would insert it here.
So when your grandchildren have soccer games...t-ball...football...gymnastics...cheer practice...dance, or, best of all, just playing outdoors, support them. Encourage them to be part of the world rather than just looking at it though a 5 X 7 computer screen.
Well that's all I have.........now to grab the vacuum cleaner........right after I take one more look at those little alcoves for al fresco dining. Remind me, I need to write a post about al fresco dining.
I love you.
By the way, my grandchildren, my boys are way above average......just in case I haven't made that clear.
