Endless desire to create has driven me down several roads. Here is the outcropping of that desire, and occasional necessity.

It was too cold, but they’ve been begging for days. I sat in the wheelbarrow turned over on its side to hold in the heat. . Rhode whittled roasting sticks with his new pocket knife. The boys couldn’t wait for the fire to die down to start roasting. They don’t mind charred outers and icy cool centers. 🤷🏻‍♀️ . We ate the whole bag of marshmallows!! Well.. that’s not entirely true.. The fire ate several, and one is melted on my shoulder... with my hair stuck in it, as I type this! 🙄 . I’m just glad I survived without becoming a cyclops! 😉 . 🎶 #comeonbabylightmyfire 🔥

“Are y’all folks interested in knives? Cuz I got the best one on the street!” -Rhode, last night . After perusing the collection, Rhode asked the dealer how much for this one. $35. He abruptly pulled out his wallet, took out three ten dollar bills, and handed them toward the man. He said, “You have to get permission from your momma to buy that, son.” Rhode fumbled. I said, “It’s okay. It’s his birthday money. He can spend it on what he wants...” Then, turning to Rhode, “...but, he said thirty-five and you’re only giving him thirty.” Rhode fumbled again. “That’s okay. Since it’s your birthday. Happy Birthday!” . It’s not really Rhode’s birthday. That was months ago, but he’s got a brand new Case in his pocket and feels like he’s on top of the world! . 🎶#averymerryunbirthdaytome #toyou! 🎂😘

Dad took us to the flea market yesterday morning. . Driving past a logyard near our house, dad asks, “You boys gonna get a job here at the logyard this summer?” Rhode responded, “We need a job!” A minute later, Rhode added, “We can go to work with you, split the money.” Dad, “What can you boys do? Carry water, keep everybody saturated?” 😆 . . At the flea market, dad found an old Model 12 Winchester pump rifle in perfect condition. It’s one that he and his buddies used to take to shooting matches when they were young. He was enamored! Then, he said, “Donna wouldn’t let me buy it.” 😔 I told him he could just buy it and not tell her. (Sorry, mom!) We walked on. I was looking at something else. I turned as dad excitedly said, “Oh, boy!! Bye!” and hung up the cell phone. “She said I can get it!” . . Later in the day after my dad had ran about three stop lights, Rhode commented on it. Dad responded, “That’s the only fun I get to have anymore, runnin red lights.” 😜 . #dadsarehilarious

My grandma watches the news and listens to some talk radio stations. If you go visit at an unexpected time, one of the two may be blaring when you walk in the door, because she can’t hear as well as she used to. . Recently, the whole family was gathered, and granny asked Spencer to turn on the radio to check the weather. When he switched it on, the sultry, “Half of my heart is in Havana, Oh na na. He took me back to East Atlanta, na na na..” played loudly! . Woah!! Granny!! I didn’t know you were into that kind of music! 😂 . Pictured: Her spring bouquet is sprawling and wild. Kinda like her taste in music! 🤣🤣🤣 . #grannyjams #totallykidding #whochangedthestation #aletastable #irreverenced 🎶 #havanaohnana 😁

While shopping today, Ace would rather love on the Target dog. “Please take my picture.” . Ace LOVES big! . He loves people, and he loves things nearly as much. He’s always been an extreme cuddler/kisser. He loves stuffed animals. If he’d had the right kind of momma, he would’ve been obsessively attached to a pacifier and blankie. . We watched Castaway the other night. Ace cried like a baby as Wilson floated away. 😭 He didn’t react at all when Chuck and his girlfriend had their emotional reunion/breakup. I squalled for that part. 😝 . Spencer and I talked about how Ace doesn’t understand or comprehend romantic love yet. Then, I asked the boys if they thought their wife would love them more or their parents. Which love is stronger? . Rhode said spousal love was stronger. Ace thought parent/child love won. I agree with Ace. Spencer agrees with Rhode. All of those answers speak of our personalities. . It’ll be interesting to see if those answers ever change. I doubt mine or Spencer’s will. . #ramblinghome #foodforthought 🙃 #yourthoughts?

For me, one of the biggest challenges of being a parent is wanting to encourage creative, harmless-fun behavior(^^like this^^) but also wanting them to recognize there are certain standards of decorum. . To stop or not to stop, THAT is the question.😜 . #airguitar 🎶#dontstopgetitgetit #steadywatchmenavigate #hahahahaHA 🔴
