A bug problem
Okay, June listed a problem with a green colored bug in her tulips. She didn't know what kind it was. I don't either (hah) but I have the very same bug. Mine has a harder shell on the top of it. I don't have tulips though. Sorry, June I couldn't resist.

Little Girl Story
When I was a little girl........2 and a half.......my Mother bought me some new panties. Actually 7 pairs of panties. They each had a day of the week printed on them. So cool, I know. Well I put them on. Them meaning every single one of them....7. One on top of another.......I had nothing else on but those 7 pair of panties. I then decided to walk (alone) down the street to the grain elevator. That was probably two football fields in length including crossing the rail road track. I lived out in the boonies but near a teeny town. This road was somewhat busy. Now I doubt my mother had ever taken me there. Not her kind of place as she is still pretty prissy. All the farmers hung out there. Nice old men. They sat in the office and drank coke from a machine....glass bottles and only a nickel. Can you imagine when little ole me walked in with my just my "days of the weeks" on. Someone called my mother and asked her if she was missing someone. She came to get me....bet she was embarased.
Are you wondering why she didn't know where I was........yeah, me too. When I was little I was always playing alone and did some really silly things. We watch our kids so closely these days. It's a wonder all of us "back in the old days" girls ever made it to be Grammies.

Raining week- end and An American Leg
Lots of rain but nothing compared to our neighbors South of us. Hoping things get better in those flooded areas.
I celebrated National Scrapbook Day at Archivers all day yesterday. SO good to finally get out of the house for a day of scrapping. I spent way too much money. I am exhausted today. Still trying to get that tooth extraction healed.
Today we took K. Bug and Goose to see "How to train a dragon". A little scary for both. Goose crawled up in my lap and took a nap. K. Bug ended up on Grampy's lap during the "nest" scene. K. Bug had $10 in her pocket to buy those crazy shape bracelets. Well she lost it. Grampy was still going to get the girls some but they were sold out. One place had a three page waiting list. Are you kidding me? Yesterday the girls went to see the local school production of Oz. So they had a fun, rainy week-end.
AMERICAN LEG STORY
Do you believe in "signs". I had three of those in the past 24 hours so wanted to tell this story. The star of the movie we saw today had an artifical leg. A man walked into Archivers with shorts on and an artificial leg. It's so amazing to me how well people can walk in these. They walk better than I do. And God Bless them, they should.
Okay, here we go. My daughter and son C. were in Leadville, Colorado having lunch. C. was 7, maybe, but more like 4. A guy walked in with shorts on and a wooden leg. It was painted red, white and blue with stars on it. C. stares. Have you ever had that feeling that something very embarrassing is about to happen? We got C.'s attention and tried to explain. He was silent for awhile and then it happened. Rather loudly he says, "Well, at least it's an American leg." Have you ever know that you should never laugh at something but you totally loose it anyway. I don't know if the man heard us. I still think of how funny that was. I told my daughter that the man had to want people to notice with the way it was painted. God Bless him as well.
I'll see you back on here tomorrow. ((((HUGS)))
