Bits and Pieces

First allow me to say thanks and welcome to my new friend and follower, MizzAnonymous. 'Mizz, I promise to always reply to your comments; it might take me a few hours or days, with time and work constraints, but I will reply. You are now among friends.

My days of late are long and not all that restful, please be patient with my single entries here on my humble little blog.

Our weather has turned hot - we should have a high of 80 today - just downright awful weather.

Here comes work, see 'ya later.

(35 minutes later)

Last weekend Sweet Wife and Little Bit came by my shop and spruced it up for Christmas. They hung a few lights on the windows, some glitter and a very small Christmas tree. Little Bit layered the tree with candy canes. Those candy canes are at least twelve years old, really. She wanted to try one and I said they've aged well but don't believe they'd taste good at all....she tried one. Spit, sputter, then - "Ah, Papa, that's awful."

One learns from their mistakes.

My friend, kymber, asked for pictures and as I promised I'd post one or two....here you are Sweet Lady...



See, I always keep my promises.

This morning as Little Bit and Me were having breakfast I again, notice I said again, tipped over my coffee. Those darn McDonald's coffee cups are top heavy. Fluted narrow from bottom to top...it needs a redesign. Heck of a way to begins ones day; wet hot 511's.

Anyway, it just tickled the heck out of Little Bit.

"Papa, you're just like a little kid, always spilling your sippy cup."

Giggles.

Then, "Watch me, Papa. See, you hold it at the bottom and tip the top forward. And, "Where's your straw?"

Takes after her grandmother...


 But, I love her.

  5. She's so great. It's nice to hear that they don't listen when you tell them they won't (or will) like something even at this age. Mine is 3 and still doesn't believe me even though I've not steered her wrong. Looks like many more years until that stops (if ever).

  8. My sippy cup is a insulated 64 oz with a lid and a straw. When it gets tipped over only a little bit of Dr. Pepper spills out. Without it, I could not start my day.

  9. MDR, I do love my Dr. Pepper. Guess I'll never live this sippy cup stuff down, will I.

  10. I think it's good.
    I was at a church function once and they did not want any beer there so I brought my man sized sippy cup, dropped a beer in it then inserted the straw and attached the lid. Every so often I would make my way back to the truck to refill my cup. Everyone was laughing at it calling it my a sippy cup and all I did was smile and nod.
