Road locomotive
Here’s a locomotive without any tracks. Picture taken at Greenfield Village. Part of both my famous Train series and my famous Machinery series. You’re welcome for the twofer.
Well. There’s been quite a reaction to Friday’s Great Art, starting with Loyal Reader Number Three’s suggestion that Grandma teach the kid to skitch and ghost-ride (whatever those are) and going right through Loyal Reader Number Twenty-Four’s non-written comments to me regarding knowing who the friend was on Saturday afternoon. Or was that yesterday? Time goes so quickly on weekends, doesn’t it?
Anyway, if I can figure out what skitching and ghost-riding are, I might start doing them. Probably not, though. Just guessing there.
Update: I found out what ghost-riding is. I had suspicions. I don’t think I’ll start doing it.
Another update: I found out what skitching is. I also had suspicions about this. Ditto on starting to do it.
Those things sound like so much fun, don’t they?
Thank goodness for Wikipedia, Loyal Readers.
Anyway. Fast-moving weekend. It was over before we knew it. The Loyal Readers got home from the Scout encampment on Saturday. They had a great time. Emphasis on the great. I’ll let them tell about it in the comments. If any.
Loyal Reader Number Four and I didn’t do much while the boys were away. Quiet few days. We had our young friends the triplets over to play games and swim on Saturday. Their house had suffered a broken pipe and their parents and LRN24 needed to get some work done around the house. We had a nice time.
Since Saturday was one of the six most special days of the year, we celebrated that evening. What was the special occasion? Loyal Reader Number Two’s birthday, of course. He got a razor. And not a moment too soon.
We had a power outage later Saturday evening, right while we were watching Psych. The power stayed out for about an hour and a half. After the first five minutes, Loyal Reader Number One and I went out and started the generator. We plugged in a light and played some games. Had a nice time. In some ways, it was even better than watching television.
Sunday was quiet and peaceful. Just like I like it.
Took the Honda to the shop this evening. They’re going to try the front-end alignment one more time. Wish them luck, Loyal Readers. Really. I need them to be lucky.
Hope your weekend was as good as mine. Time for bed. See you tomorrow.
