More Shenanigans from Last Night

This is Biscuit the cat. The wonderful, wonderful cat.

Friday Fun

I've been held hostage at my PC uploading pics for 'the yearbook'. Thankfully I had Henry helping to pass the time with his DS and a spare. I'm not sure what game we played and it was fun! He wanted to document the fun with some snaps.
I think he did a great job!

"Master of Gravity"

I stumbled across some of Bas Jan Ader's work this morning that I really enjoyed. Had to post. He was a Dutch artist/filmaker whose work captures isolated incidences of the grace of the invisible force which keeps us grounded. Thinking of the young artists/filmakers in my life!

LILy

Update: this is the picture of Lily in Peru w/ her friend. I just spruced it up just a bit.
That is NOT henry at the museum...

ZERO!

I currently have an 88 in my math class and, as a result, need to partake in the extra credit problem the funny prof assigned. The extra credit problem is to show proof that the factorial of 0 is equal to 1. Wanna see?

Sisters

Yeah for me! I rec'd an unexpected package in the mail yesterday! So unexpected that I forgot about it til now (it's been on the front porch all nite waiting for me). The box is from Sandra who filled it with lots of goodies: two skeins of "tangy clay" yarn, 1 skein of a beautiful green yarn, some errant, roving wool, a XMAS ornament from Mt. Vernon, a XMAS ornament from George Washington memorial, 2 homemade CD mixes (from her SWAP-BOT partner that she has nothing in common with so she dumped them on me*), a "wrecking journal" (my first and I'm so excited!), some "ZOTZ" candy and something strange in a plastic baggie that is... well, it is gooey and oozing out of the bag onto my hands...
Well, anyway, I am hopping and clapping since I had a rather hectic day yesterday. Now I am set!
THANKS SANDRA!
*actually, I am looking forward to the mix CD since I love music! I was just picking on her cuz that's what I do.

Yearbook Madness

Edit: I had two mothers who volunteered to help at the beginning of the school year. They have both deserted me. You know me, can you blame them?
Most of you know I am compiling the yearbook for the spawn's school. It is intensely time consuming since I have taken all pictures, hunted people down, threatened others, judged competing artwork for covers and harassed unknown staff for input of any kind. Now I am sorting/uploading hundreds of pictures/ quotes into some orderly/artistic fashion that will prove to make 500 + kids + their parents/teachers happy.
No, there is no stress on me.
Also I was promised some $1000 in advertising revenue which has gone kaput. As a result the yearbooks will cost the kids a few dollars more than I had wanted. Again, I am not stressed at all considering that the March5th deadline is just a couple of weeks away and I have 84 pages to fill, edit, proof, edit and sign off on.

Flat Max

Flat Max is working at the Bike Rack in Granbury w/ Uncle Gary. Click here to go to his blog.

Ultra Cool Shelby Flyer

Lookie at what I found in the repair area of the shop yesterday! It is a Shelby Flyer. My limited knowledge indicates this is from the 1940's. The tires are rock-hard as you can imagine, sitting in the garage for 50 years. The guy wants Gary to fix it up just so he can ride around the neighborhood. I WANT!

Mission DayCamp 2006

For what it's worth it was worth all the while

Henry's last Cub Scout meeting was last night.
Next week- Boy Scouts!

A New World?

Do you think if I tried hard enough I could knit a new world for myself?

Accident Victim

A bit of ephemera made it's way back to me after a 10 year absence. Sandra has had this in her most-safe possession for many years (why?). It is the picture of ME on the front page of the Fort Worth Startle-Gram in 1980 (?). Don't ask too much about this for I have yet to remember the event. I only know what was told to me but it did have to do with a peanut-butter & jelly sammich.
Thankfully, Lily didn't have the most-unpleasant experience of her head going thru the windshield which still has me pulling tiny shards of glass out of my forehead to this day and one knee that is still numb.
The good news is that I still have a bit of nostalgia preserved by the ever-helpful FWST. (I remember mom calling them and giving them a little bit of "what-for" for embarrassing a teenage girl by putting a traumatic pic of her on the front page). However, I do remember flowers, cards, and visits from cute boys! :)

Art for the Day

I really enjoyed this vid. Perhaps you will too. And, do please watch it all.

Boy Scout Campout

UPDATE: We are an equal-opportunity camping group. No gender bias at all! (At least until they are official BOY scouts) Then there will be no girls to be seen...

Unfortunately, the pictures didn't make it.
That was the best picture I took followed by the cutest picture!

This is Angela. Camping Cutie!

Cub Scouting for FOOD

This is HENRY's last month as a Cub Scout. They had one last Scouting-for-Food Saturday and collected 23 bags (each bag had 5 food items).

Notice that Henry is sporting the Cub Scout Conservation Award
(click on the picture!).

I'm Still Old

Update:IF you want the joke, you have to Skype me. You know what to do...
Haha. Yes, to prove that I am indeed the oldest student in class....
*I am the only student that laughs to my elderly professor's jokes. Laughs aloud. Laughs aloud very loud. Real embarrassing loud. So loud, that I look around and see only blank faces staring at me. SO loud, in fact, that I have to explain the joke....

oh, the humiliation

"Lily, of course I get sad AND disappointed...I just have the wonderful blessing of finding an everlasting joy that is hard to falter." lindsey watson

"I admire my sister so much." lily watson

i am lovin' this! i find awesomeness every day. thanks for the grins, guys.(i didn't title my post either it's so cool)

James vs. John

Found this awesome avatar on Eagle. Notice the smile on Grandpa Watson (MY grandpa). Yes, it's there. Look again. See it now?
Me either.
Actually, this is his smile. You had to have known him to know. He was a way cool guy. He liked watches, tools, cats, guns, hats, cars .... kinda like the grandpa on the right! Like father....
