Jeremyism

We were walking into Meijer today, and ran into a teacher. She stated that she was enjoying her summer, especially now that summer school was over. As we were walking away, Jeremy made the comment, "Now there are two words that never belong together, summer and school!"

Happy Fodder's Day

For those who think that I am "picking" on Paula too much, I must disagree. She is constantly giving me new blog material, which if I were to post it all, I would be posting all day. So what you see here are really selected highlights.

Like yesterday, when we were discussing the blog. She told me that the blog would be nothing without her, to which I agreed, and told her that she was excellent "blog fodder." Her response and quizzical expression told me something, she didn't know what fodder was. So I explained, as fodder is food for cows that keeps them fat and healthy, she is a constant source of nutrition for my blog. So today, the blog is dedicated to her. Happy Fodder's Day, Honey. I love you!

Those annoying frogs!

It's almost time to take the cover off of the pool! That reminds me of last year's "unveiling." I wanted to move the pool over a bit, so we drained in and I had Paula out there to help me move it. She was on one end pulling and I on the other. Suddenly, she screams bloody murder! I rush over to see what had happened. It was awful! A frog had leapt out of the pool and landed on her arm. I had the presence of mind to say out loud to anyone who might have heard her cries, "It's okay, it was only a frog!" That's when I heard the neighbor's voice saying, "Thank goodness, I was just getting ready to call 911!" (And she was serious too!)

Just a little video to show how annoying those little pests can be.
