Thumbs Up ☃


We took the plunge and added Wii to the repertoire, here at the Old Homestead. Hey, in addition to Mario, we invested in Zumba... just in time for a svelte spring? We shall see. Whatever. Not to worry that kids become addicted. They like to move around, amongst activities of interest. Just ask me; we played from early morning till the sun went down. Ah, it's a good tired; and a few favorite pastimes were even squeezed in... not that these grandparents need an excuse. But...
Yesterday's snow was melting fast. Before winter wanes completely, we desired at least one Frosty; but "...he sort of looks like Pinocchio, with his long nose, G'ma..." Ultimately, he became Dudley, named after the errant reindeer reported about at Christmastime. Remember? Of course not; just trust me. And there was shoveling to do... heavy, slushy stuff, 'cause today we hit the high forties. Crazy, right?
Ooooh-kay, still had to squeeze in painting with Aubs, while Gav taught Gramps how to play Mario Baseball, or some such thing. Yeah, yeah, those perfectly structured lines are just fine. Sketch and paint. But, come on... let's let freedom ring, Girlfriend! 

With palette knives and thick paints, we worked to the beat of some good ole rock 'n' roll. Aubs likes "Solitary Man". WowWouldn't the not-so-solitary man be pleased to know. We can't wait till summer. Then, we're gonna do some splatter work. YAY! 
Color us textured, like life itself. A great day.
