One cold summer

In case there was any doubt, here's proof from a local retailer that this has been one cold summer!

Show and Tell: Self-portrait

Age 4.

(I find it hard to tell if I've improved or not since then!)



And am I the only one who is a little disappointed it never occured to me to try and pay a bill with a doodle? Or that the same doodle would sell on e-Bay for $10 000?

Clearly, it's time for me to get back to my roots.

Go see what everyone else brought to show and tell this week.

Show and Tell: Nature's canvas

I can't think of a better way to end a summer's day, than to have a meal as a family, take a leisurely after dinner walk through a lightly wooded area (en route to acquire an ice cream dessert) and come home to find a rainbow over your street!

In case you haven't been able to do any of the above in the past while, for your viewing pleasure, here's our rainbow!

(It looked better than this in real life, but much worse than this in the photo. The photo has been digitally enhanced. Shhhhh.)

Show and Tell: Puppy Doggie Sauce

I wasn't entirely sure that this post would be worthy of a Circle Time: The Show and Tell entry. Then I read Mel's Lollipop Goldstein's post about her vision of Chewbacca appearing on her floor -- wearing Darth Vadar's cloak, no less!

I knew in an instant that I needed to bring "Puppy Doggie Sauce" to the circle.

Puppy Doggie Sauce isn't a sauce you put on puppy doggies. It is a nickname that one of our little friends uses to refer to salad dressing.


I present you with exhibit A:

Do you see it? Look hard. At the mushroom perhaps? What if I outlined it for you in yellow?

Proving once again, that adults often don't "see" the detail in things when we think we know what they should be.

What's that? You found the puppy dog without my help? Excellent! But did you find the hidden dinosaur....
