Ketch-up Day

 

Are you having a great week?

We went to see the grands over the weekend and it was, of course, fun. There was one glitch. My son and the HH took the twins to a minor league baseball game. Everyone was having a great time. Then in the last inning, the last hitter hit a foul ball over the fence and over the roof to land on the windshield of our son's new car and crack it. OUCH.

The rest of the weekend went without incident.

We went pedal boating which was lots of fun. I hadn't been since the kids were little. Imagine my surprise when I found out they now have motors and you actually don't need to pedal.  

 

Then we took the kids to the Painted Peacock to paint ceramics and that was fun too:)

What's happening in your corner of the world?

 

It's Tuesday

 Greetings Blogger Buds,

Hope your weekend and Monday were excellent.

Weather

So Monday we woke up to this.

The chunk of ice on the ground was from the bird bath that was frozen nearly solid.

This is my second rain gauge. It never dawned on me to empty it in cold weather. I figured that out after I woke one morning to find the gauge in pieces on the ground along with the ice.  So, I started to empty this one and as you can see the ice has formed all along the sides and frozen it in place.  So far, it's still in one piece.....

Weekend with the fam 

We went in to see the kiddos and their parents this weekend. It never ceases to amaze me the activities that are now available for kids. We took the kids to the Painted Peacock to paint ceramics. Back in the day painting ceramics was strictly for adults, but now its geared to a much younger market and as you can see, the kids love it.

ALSO

We went grocery shopping. Sigh.  Buying canned cat food is getting harder and harder and appears to now be leaking into dog food. Produce is still an issue. What about you. Any grocery issues on your end?

Got ice? Ceramics? Cat food? Produce?
