the continuing adventures of us
Here’s a huge (and badly designed) page with all kinds of activities for kids to celebrate Groundhog Day. Although I like the stuff on this page better: a pop-up card and a groundhog paper doll.
February usually sucks for me, as I get the winter blahs and more than a little stir crazy, plus I have Not Fun events on the calendar this year. At least I finally clued in that we are officially halfway through winter, so hope springs eternal for things to Move Forward in March.
We’re in the potato capital of the world, where they grow a lot of potatoes. We stopped in to the library where I took a picture of the fabulous selection of potato-related cookbooks.
I mean, really. What else did I expect?
Once upon a time, there was a girl. This girl was a bit of a geek, so she went to college and signed up for a Computer Programming course. She met a guy, who was also a bit of a geek and who happened to be in the second year of the same program. They fell in love, got married and had four geeky kids, although not necessarily in that order. The happily ever after part is still happening. (Most days.)
Well, that geeky couple had a boy. And he grew and he grew and he grew. (Really, he ate quite a lot.) He also spent a good deal of time in front of one of their many computers. He grew and he grew until he grew right up. Then he went to that same college, where he took the exact same Computer Programming course his parents took.
And he met a girl.
Who was in the second year of the same course.
Who was just like him, only female.
Who fit right in with the rest of his family.
So he did the only thing he could, really. He asked her to marry him.
And she said yes.
(In retrospect, it was pretty much inevitable.)
