Rap, my child...

You gotta get your rap groove on before you read this Saturday Centus offering.  Yeah.  Cuz I'm all about the rap music.

Or not.

But hey.

The prompt is in bold.

And you can see other links if you just click here.

 

My granny was a wise one

She said lots of stuff to me…

Suh-Suh-Sleep my child and peace attend thee

She aint never told me who to be. 

Granny always had my number

But she ain’t never had to dial it.

She made me know my ass could fly

Even though I ain’t a pilot.

Suh-Suh Sleep my child and peace attend thee

I don’t know about that sh**

Yeah. Don’t tell Granny ‘bout my language now

I know she’d pitch a fit.

No pockets...

...no problem.

 

We had our Grandlittle's over after school yesterday.  

 

The weather is still quite lovely here (ssssshhhh...don't tell the Arizona triple digit demons) and we decided to take the three bubbly little girls to the park.

 

"Oh my gosh, I don't have any pockets," the middle Grandlittle shouted in dismay.

 

"Why do you need pockets?   We're just going to the park!" I told her.

 

"Grandma!   You DON'T UNderSTanD!   I need pockets!"

 

She thought for a second and I actually saw a light bulb go off on her face.

 

She ran down the hall towards my office and I herded everyone else toward their scooters.

 

When we got to the park, the middle girl had a very mischievious look on her face.

 

 

 

Aha!

 

Apparently she needed pockets to transport a 'park-size' supply of Werthers candies.

 

Mr. Jenny and I laughed so hard!

 

They say necessity is the mother of invention...I can see how candy is a compelling need for our nine year old sweetie!

 

The other two girls didn't disappoint in the creative streak either.

 

Mo and Grandpa made a monogram out of those little plastic BB's...

 

 

 

After the oldest one hung upside down for awhile, she found a piece of cardboard.

 

I almost fell off the bench, though, when she announced loudly,

 

"Look!   Look!  I am a prairie schooner!"

 

 

Fun days at our house.

 

And it will be an even funner day today

 

BECAUSE

 

We are going back to the proving grounds.

 

Our contact there told us that we are now allowed to pick through and fire hydrants AND that he found a bunch of Harley Davidson signs that we might like.

 

Apparently HD did a lot of development on those test grounds!

 

I'll update you tomorrow on what we find today! 

 

Unless we get cancelled on again!

 

Happy Thursday!

Painted Letter Y

Yippee!

I painted something for the letter Y.

I like it!

It's funny in a weird, folk-art sort of way.

 
This is a big sign, too.  23 1/2" wide and 15 1/2" tall!

And this is a custom sign I painted which I really like.

It does have YELLOW in it, so I'm going to share it as well.

15" x 16"

 Hope you enjoyed my painted letters this week!

 

Give me a yell if you did!

 

Signs are hand-painted and available in my Etsy shop...you can see the mini link at the top right of my blog or click on any picture for a link!  No stickers...no stencils...my designs.

I just started visiting the X links. I will be catching up over the next week...but I have NOT forgotten you.

And remember.... link back to this post, you need to be registered as a follower of my blog, PG posts only, and you must visit at least 10 other posts...perhaps consider starting from the last posts and work backwards. The links will stay live after the final post deadline has passed so you can even wait and visit over the weekend or whenever you have more time.

Please link your yummy Y post now!

Picking update!

There isn't one!

Terry called on Friday and said he wouldn't be back out to the facility until sometime this week.

So...

No more digging through the grease and grime on Friday!

I'll write the next segment when we head back!

Just wanted to update all you wanna-be-pickers!

Happy Monday!
