Honey, I'm Hooooome!

Did you just hear anything freezing over? I know that is when I was expecting the comic creation website bitstrips to actually become available again. However, it is here today (it could have been anytime between early Jan and now since I stopped checking it about then). So, today's post title is referring to the opportunity for new Clarity of Vision comics. Whoo hoo. Anyway, we'll start off with an Olympics-related strip.

A couple of weekends ago, we took the GRANDS to a park. At one end of the little lake is a waterfall that our kids used to play on. Now, the GRANDS enjoy it just as much as their Daddy did.

Shortly thereafter, one of the dogs decided that chasing ducks is fun, even if it means jumping into the lake. As soon as she hit the water, though, she decided it was not as much fun as she thought and started trying to jump out. We pulled her out and walked a while longer until she dried out. She is still totally wet in the shot, but her fur doesn't show it in the shot. You can see her paw prints on the sidewalk, though.

While at the park, we also had a picnic. We tied the dogs to the stroller while we ate.

Growing up, whenever the family would take road trips, we would play games during the drive. One of them was trying to see license plates from as many different places as we could find. Another we called Beaver, where you would shout out "Beaver" each time you saw a car coming in the distance. The first to say it got the point. If it was a truck (pickup or semi), you lost a point. I used to say it when I saw road signs until I got glasses. I was the subject of much ridicule (of course, had it been them doing that, I would have been equally merciless, so it's OK). My point is there is a new app for playing games during trips. It uses the actual landmarks and towns that you pass through as part of the game. You can read a little about it here.

Blasphemy? You decide? Just remember, though, that it was J.K. Rowling that said it.

[Monday's Meanderings] All of the above was written Sunday night. Recently, the whole post has been written on the morning of the posting date. Today, though, I don't really have anything to add. There are no interesting links that I ran across. I created the CoV last night, now that I can write new ones. I added my photos last night as I watched the Olympics. Photos in non-company websites are being increasingly blocked, and even some formerly available sites like boardgamegeek, so it is not as easy to find content I want to include. All of which means...we are done for today. Back tomorrow.
