Happy, Little, Time Waster

 

It will take your brain a bit to make sense of this photo. At first, the left side of the stairs looks wrong, then it falls into place, at least for many people.

The Friday Five Good Things

 

Five good things that happened this week.

1. Saturday per my request we had an early Mother's Day dinner courtesy of Harry's and then we watched  the new Doctor Who.

2. I received Mother's Day greetings from The Young One and other family members

3. One of my continuing students got the green light from his surgeon to take my class. It was so nice to see him.

4. I emailed the IT Manager to ask if I needed a special app to cast or mirror the iPad to the monitor in the studio. He said it would just be plug and play and he also had the Lightning to HDMI connector so I wouldn't have to buy one.

5. Himself's birthday celebration. Take-out from Outback,  made from scratch yellow cake with chocolate frosting

How was your week?

Today

 

The to do list for today: get a haircut, pick up milk, half n' half, ice cream, a birthday card for Himself, frost the cake, back to working on diplomas.

Whatcha Doin?

 

I need to return the Apple HDMI connector. I purchased one with a USB-C end and I need one like the picture with the Lightning connector for my iPad.

Then I need to research if I need a special app to cast or mirror what's on the iPad to the monitor in the studio my class is in at the museum. I hope to be able to use the drawing app Procreate to demonstrate calligraphy.

Whatcha doin?

Not The Aurora Borealis

 Friday night or rather at 2 am Saturday, we woke up to go outside to see if we would see the Aurora Borealis. All the neighbors had their outside lights burning so we couldn't see much of anything.

Saturday night, I went outside after 10 pm. Besides all the neighbors outside lights burning with enough magnitude for them to be seen from space clouds were moving in.

 

I did capture a very nice image of Ursa Major (Big Bear or Big Dipper)

We'll probably try again in the wee hours of Monday, but I'm not hopeful. Seeing the Aurora Borealis will most likely remain on our bucket list.

Happy Mother's Day

 From Sunday, May 13,2012

The Brother was fond of reciting this ditty for Mother's Day:

When me prayers were poorly said,

Who tucked me in me widdle bed,

And spanked me till me bum was red?

Me Mudder.

Who took me from me cozy cot,

And put me on me ice cold pot,

And made me pee when I could not?

Me Mudder.

And when the morning light would come,

And in me crib me dribble some,

Who wiped me tiny widdle bum?

Me Mudder.

Who would me hair so gently part,

And hug me gently to her heart

And sometimes squeezed me til me fart?

Me Mudder.

Who looked at me with eyebrows knit,

And nearly had a king size fit,

When in me Sunday pants me sh*t?

Me Mudder.

When at night the bed did squeak,

Me raised me head to have a peek,

Who yelled at me to go to sleep?

Me Fadder.

Happy Mother's Day
