It’s been an intensely busy weekend. I worked a full day yesterday, training for summer camp coaching and working the kid’s cyber-cafe at night. I managed to squeeze into the weekend several loads of laundry, garden tending, bill paying, and grocery shopping. However, the glorious weather requires that I go to Alum Rock Park and take a hike; it’s 67 breezy degrees. I walked yesterday, too, but the park is much prettier than my neighborhood.
This is the last full week of school for my program. We finish final testing this week and generate reports. Then I have a week to close up the site and get myself ready for a trip to Austin. Yep, I’m going for ten days, leaving the 19th. I’m going to bathe in BBQ sauce and sweat Shiner Bock.
On a different note, here’s a cute kid anecdote. Last night a five-year old girl came up to me and earnestly said, with wide eyes, “Did you know that the dinosaurs existed? But then they died.” I said, “Yes, they lived a very long time ago.” She nodded and replied, “Uh-huh. Probably back when I was one.”
It made me smile. Such is the perspective of time from a child.
“Uh-huh. Probably back when I was one.”
LOL- have fun in Austin.
Ah, the sayings of kids! I remember when I was only a teenager myself and one of my nieces, probably five at the time, was looking at a photo album with me. There was a picture of me with a favorite dog. She said, “I didn’t know they had dogs when you were a kid.”
