a different restaurant

Well I got to tell you that my Pa sure likes to eat at restaurants. So we all went far away to get Uncle John and Aunt Joany and then we went farther to another place. And then they ate. Nanny said it was too salty and Uncle John put some  brown stuff on his finger to let me taste. But I wasn't born yesterday. I don't know where that came from  cause I sure didn't do it, and there was no way I was going to taste it. They had yucky mashed potatoes,too. I did taste them. Pa said that we won't be going back there. He said that my Pap would drive 3 hours to eat at a restaurant. I  would have to take a lunch for that!

goin in to Sunrise

No body can remember the name of this place since it has been here since before Magoo and Pa and Magoo ate their wedding supper with my great great grandmother Mam-maw here when it was Flicks,And don't ask me how many names. Maybe if I drove I would be able to tell you! But how many people my height could have a license? Just think about it!

Uncle Brad and me

Well Uncle Brad was at Nanny's house when I got there. Magoo never tells me these things. Sometimes I feel like I'm flying by the seat of Pampers. Hey what does that mean anyway? I heard that someplace the other day only they said seat of their pants. Same thing! I just feel more honest not to say pants yet, Okay?  Anyway I want to show you this picture of me at the restaurant with Uncle Brad. I even danced on the table and listened to them talk about nothing. Well nothing I knew about anyway.

Just drop it!

Hi,It's me, Matt!  There other day I helped PA with a twisty thing. I  did a good job too. That's important, you know. I told Pa anytime I could help I would but he would have to drop that big wheely box himself! It's heavy! I know.

Gumdrop lunch

Yes indeed! My new diet for today at least consisted of 2 pieces of peanut butter and cherry preserves toast.(It really should be labeled JELLY after you get down half way as there is no fruit below the first inch of goodness. I didn't make it though, Kroger did. So ....) There I go again-OFF TOPIC. I did have 12 spice drops and two cups of Twining tea for lunch. Hey don't knock it! I've lost 5 pounds this month, however in all honesty this was my first gumdrop lunch. Oh, yes! Around 3 I had a Bagel Dog with mustard and more tea and then 12 pieces of candy corn. I got to throw the bags away and eat dessert. Oh the perils of staying home! I love it!

swap again?

And here's the proof!

The day the van died-again

Hey yesterday we went to Terre Haute. Just wanted some ink cartridges for the printer. First though we went to River Wool. Matt thought the yarn in there was just right, hate to see what he'd do at Stitches and Scones. He was nice, but very tempted. The clerk,Val,  carried him around and let him touch anything and be touched by everything fuzzy. They giggled together. He did pick out a really great sock color. All I have to do is knit them. We then drove to OFFICE MAX,walked next door to Books-a-Million, then walked back to the van, got in the carseat,put the key in and nothing. So we walked to Old Navy and bought a hat and two pair of pajamas, then back to the van, key in, nothing. So we went back to Books A Million and had a strawberry kiwi smoothie. It was very good. Should have been because the bottle had curdled. Back out to the van-nothing. Called Anola to come get Matt and Pa to get the tow truck number. Called the tow. Nola and Michael showed up and took Matt to Brazil. Me? I rode in the big truck! Better luck next time,Matt! Five hours  after we left for Terre Haute,the van was deposited in our drive and the driver left. I opened the van door and put the key in the ignition and viola! it started right up.  Oh! and the tow was $100.00. Matt put his new jays on and went to bed. I have numbered the days of the van.

I got my second 3

Yeah! It's true I got my second three on swapbot today. Seems as if some judge a swapper on their own strengths. To me that's so sad, because there are a lot of non professional type people out there. Handicapped temporarily of permanently, these people have a lot to give everyplace.I don't swap to judge another. Oh sure everyone likes to get nice. But nice to me isn't nice to you let alone to my neighbor.(You'll have to trust me on that!) My dad always said that it wouldn't do for everyone to like the same thing. The thing is this has become a global community and being that no one knows everyone. Taste differ. I refuse to eat calamari, while peanut butter is so good. There are no IEPs anyplace. I can't know you or your circumstances. So thanks for the mail and thinking of me.

Not here but everywhere

Well Matt's in bed. You know I got to thinking, yeah I know-make a note of that, anyway since we've been here we haven't been home all day except for maybe the day it rained and then I'm not sure whether it kept us in all day. He's really a lady killer and loves meeting and greeting. Just so he's aware of that when he gets older.

One too many

This is my cousin Chris and Tracy.( His friend, I think!) They were fun and I hope they come back to Nanny's house soon. Tracy is a nurse. She's good. Chris is a nurse He said I look like my dad. He's pretty smart. Magoo put these pictures on here twice. She's silly.                                


 We are going to sleep tonight. At least I think so. Busy socializing today. Saw a whole lot of new people and had our best face forward.

all over again from Matt

Well all I've got to say is that it's a good thing that I can't walk yet, cause Magoo had me all over town this afternoon. I got carried. Everyone speaks to me. I know they're talking to me when they say cute 'cause Magoo isn't. Oh yes and I helped Aunt Nola open a wedding present yesterday in Uncle Cody's room from one of her teachers. If it had been bigger I could have ripped more. But as the French say --sa la girl- or whatever. Hey I'm only 5 months and dictation is hard.

Grass cutting

Matt sure watched Pa cut the grass for a while this afternoon. You know that he's definitely a wheel man. The view from the porch is all the closer he could get and Pa, well he was out by the mailbox waving and cutting and saying "Hi,Matt" and cutting and waving. We came in then because he was going to get closer. So we watched from the bay window until he disappeared again and we found ourselves something else to do before we headed downtown.

It's me,Matthew

I've been very busy. (I wanted to say xtreemlee, but I can't spell that word)

Anyway I really needed to tell someone how to make me fruit smoothies. These are a yummy part of  a good night.If you don't believe that I know how, please refer to my chocolate milk story. Now before I go to bed or at least sometime during that day, I eat some fruit. I try hard not to eat all of it. 'cause that's the smoothie part. Magoo says that fruits make wine, whatever!, so sweet potatoes work too. You have to put the leftover fruit in the formula. (It's not necessary that everyone knows about my bottle, is it!)Then shake it like crazy, singing 'twist and shout'!Then quickly, let me taste and I will either approve or, well you might have to add more shaking. I just love that part. 

Now if I could

Sometimes I like to be really pensive. It's hard not  to look bored though. Like when Aunt Nola was reading me the Scarlet Letter. Nuts! I'll probably have to read it again someday for myself.But reading is good. I like it. Oh and those legs in front of me belong to "Boy". Sometimes he likes to eat books. He doesn't have hair, I do. And that's that!

Walker is not a Ranger

There are no wheels on this dune buggy thing,walker if you will. Nonetheless the thought is that it makes me, Matt, feel big. Personally I like that as long as I get carried. Saves shoe leather and they spend calories and, face it, snuggling time is fleeting. Maxine likes it too. Nanny makes her fly sometimes and I laugh because Maxine can't fly in a raincoat.  Anyway I digress. Here's my dune buggy walker thing. I hope you like it. I know I do.

Matt and Maxine

Maxine is picture worthy.

Thanks,Cody

Here we go!  and I'm doing this whole operation with one hand! TADA!At the nursing home, he was so good for everyone! You can still see the red around Nams' eye from the shingles. She hasn't felt like herself nor looked like herself since the first of July when they hit.

Olives, anyone??

You deserve to check out I like lemons if you think my knitting is quirky. She's knitting olives. Go ahead. There's a link on the side. She's even knitted balls. Now that I may try for Matt. It'll be her fault! Isn't it strange that there are people like us out there? Anyway after you check out lemons come right back!!

Goal(s)

When I started this I wanted one post a day or 366 for the year. Leap year, you know! Anyway I just wonder if I'll make it. Maybe. Especially if I can tear myself away from the sock on  one circular. I mean that is so much fun. Oh, and did I tell you I figured out how to do mittens from the top down. TRUE. I now have 5 pair at least finished. Aren't you proud of me and my little kid's hands. I know I am.  Just for that I may make another soon. Stash reduction. Yet another goal. I love it! Here follow me.

Matt says Not afflack

Not afflack, but Maxine. Namsy got her for me,

trying this

Now let me see what happens if I...............

Lemon knitting blog

I found it tonight on Ravelry. A group of cute patterns, which I intend to try- eventually, someday, when I have all the time in the world.

Nanny

Matt's in bed. I forgot to tell you that we went in to Nanny's tonight. Seems that her car battery is dead and she called her brother, Uncle Dale, to jump or charge it. Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you that she left her car running for two hours the other day while she took a nap among other things.  I just can't wait to see her face as she pays over $4 a gallon. I bet that will be a picture from life's other side.

Real need

This MAC is really friendly. I expect it to bring me good things. Now if I could just figure out Flickr and how to load pictures of Matt from the memory card to here.Oh I do love a challenge.

RAVELRY

I have taken this Ravelry swap group on. Oh, no not that way.! The kind where I get more responsibility than average. Right now I'm wanting to do a project for the home and to me that was a challenge. You know to step away from the comfort zone of putting things on and taking them off and putting them up (oK that didn't always happen). When you knit for your home things stay visible at all times to remind you of.............

Sleep and grow

The other thing is that he's been sleeping about 16 hours counting 12 at night. No wonder he's gained half a pound and grown almost half an inch.  Mam-maw would have loved to tell him that we were going to put a brick on his head to keep him little longer. Funny, how you think of those things 25 years later. Any way, to my knowledge, no bricks were ever used in my family. We're just naturally short!! Don't tell I used that word. You know! Short.

ShhhHHhhh! Sleeping

Nanny just wears Matt out.  They play and play, then she gets out balls and stuff. Then she makes Maxine fly, which drives him to peals of laughter. Then she opens the front door so that he can hear the big dog. Then comes the bottle and the rocker and four drooping eyes. Bedtime is calling! I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Move it! Emeril

This is a picture of Matt making chocolate milk in Virginia for his dad. There's a whole string of them maybe if I am able I'll put them all up, in sequence.

I really don't think you can read this, A rough translation is that his bottle has a sock to keep it from leaking. Got it now?

A very full morning

Well Matt is here. I wanted him to do his own blogging, but you know how men are at this age. Oh well nuts! Do they ever change? So let me start with today, Thursday and work backwards, maybe. Anyway after a 12 hour snooze, we showered and dressed (yes WE).We both got weighed. That was interesting. Then off to Krogers for more of that formula. A very light breakfast, but satisfying nonetheless. Who me? Nothing, no time.We bought 5 bottles of the "stuff" and then walked to Fiesta, where he promptly claimed their hearts. I got a haircut while Matt sat on my lap so he could see the mirrors-quietly. He politely answered questions directed to him with a "goo" or"Gooblleink". Hope I've spelled that correctly. We then went to the post office, They looked but were too busy to talk any more than business. Friendly enough I suppose. Then we headed for Riddell to make a deposit. It was beginning to sprinkle and we decided to use the drivethru.The garbage truck was going while we were changing diapers, so we hurried to go see him. When the man saw us he waved and Matt threw up in his left hand in a similar gesture. He laid for about 15 minutes on the bed waiting for PA to get here, but the bottle was too good and pa was late.
