Haiku 2

This was for us both,
but lately I haven't found
time or want to blg.

I've had things to say;
mundane adventures to share
sans motivation.

New friends have returned.
One sings once more, the other
funks up our e-mail.

I Choose Haiku

Ahem ...

Patiently Colfax
And Bob wait for the screen to
tear. Free them outside.

The doves sit watching
In case the kitties should choose
To eat the two eggs.

Meanwhile Tony cooks
Cuban chicken for dinner
Fridays are good days.

What would you like to read about?

OK friends, strangers and loyal readers. We haven't got much lined up that's as exciting as going to Korea, so we will be reverting to the previous level of mundanity. My question to you is this: Would you like to hear about anything besides what streams through our conscious minds? Let me know if you'd like more scar stories, more about the weather, more about the pets. I can probably provide some bad poetry if you're interested. I reserve the right to not blog about work. I'm just curious about your thoughts.

By the way, it's sunny, the cats are fine, the birds are sitting on an egg and I had a nice chunk scratched out of my right ringfinger tip yesterday that should scar fantastically.

It's good to have family

Last night Tony's grandparents and cousin stopped by on their way to North Dakota via several other states. It was so good to see them. It was even better to wake up to people in the house. I've never shared the early mornings of my day off with anyone (unless Tony is sick) because I like staying in bed until eight if at all posssible. It was really nice. I picked up some donuts and muffins, made coffee and chatted with Grandma and Simon until Grandpa woke up. It was nice hearing Grandpa settling in to sleep last night. We were all a little worried when there was a crash followed by Grandpa's voice, "Did I break it?" Fortunately Grandpa didn't break himself. He's a lot more fragile than I'm used to thinking of him being. It was just good to see all of them. Their next family related stop is with Seth and Amanda in Missouri. Simon's doing the driving and their taking it nice and slow. I'm looking forward to hearing their stories and seeing their pictures at their 50th anniversary party in June.
