Random 5 Friday...


Just something brighten your day.

It's time for Random 5 Friday again and I have only got a couple ahead of time.

1.  I love the way the words circadian rhythm falls off the tongue.  I think Circadian Rhythm would make a wonderful title for a book.
    ****I can never just spell rhythem.  Not any more.  Just in the past year or two I have noticed any      time I spell it, I usually spell it wrong the first time around

2.  I LOVE google earth.  I just have to say that every now and then.  I can spend hours on there looking at other places....but sometimes in just looking at the area around here.  Sometimes trying to find a certain place to place a few of my photos.  (You can see the few I have on there HERE.)

3. Sometimes for a late night snack, I bake a small pan of cornbread...sometimes I will have something with it and sometimes I just have it hot and fresh from the oven.

4.  I am loving our new Roku 3....it is faster than trying to watch Netflix or Youtube through the Blu-ray player.  I never had any problems with Netflix on the Blu-ray player other than it was a slow process to get it started and to search for something, but Youtube videos were most often hanging up, not loading, etc.

5. I am really wanting to see the second season of Bletchley Circle....I don't care if it is on PBS or if Netflix would get the DVDs.  I just really am anxious to see it. 

 That is my Random 5...now what are yours. 

edited to add:  I think I have the words spelled right now!  LOL  I guess it was too late at night for me to be typing this.   I guess I had stayed up too late the night before to be thinking straight last night.!

Highland Lawn Chapel

We were at the Highland Lawn Cemetery in Terre Haute back in early November...I love the looks of this little chapel.  I have been meaning to post this pic of it and am just now getting around to it.
**************
We made it to our meeting spot yesterday with Lorelei.  She was actually ready to go...but I think she had a good time.  I forgot to tell that the first night she was here, she was wanting a snack.  I told her I had ice cream, and ask her if she wanted some.

Her reaction was, "OH, Mamaw!   I LOOVEEE ice cream!"  Notice the emphasis on the Oh and then the LOVE...

And one evening, I was in the kitchen and she says, "Mamaw!  Are you listening...Bubbie is talking to me!  I'll say something and he'll say Meow back!" and proceeded to show me...she would speak to him and he would meow back to her.  What is so funny, they were laying side by side one night and he is close to being as big as her.  Well....ALMOST Close.

Then today when Sarah picked her up from school, she was informed by Lorelei that Max had told her he was going to marry her, and he was going to be a doctor and a dad!

Are you smiling?  I am.

Cold critters

Though these were taken January 8th, everything is facing cold temps again.  It is 13ºF as I type this and part of the time the wind is just whistling.  I was up at 4:00ish this morn and it was howling then.  The snow we got has been blown and drifted till it is impossible to tell how much we actually got.  Bubby was just dying to be let out this morn....he was not out 5 minutes till he was demanding to be let in again.  And he came flying in....none of that sauntering in so slowly that he does a lot of times.

***************
The toot is still here....our plans are to meet today.  I guess we will wait till up in the day a bit to see.  With the warm temps of the past two days our roads had melted, but were still wet so they will probably be a sheet of ice here in town.

It is sure going to be quiet when she leaves...she has giggled and giggled.  When there is nothing to laugh about, she makes up something.  And has such a deep belly laugh.  One night she discovered how it sounds different in the bathroom if you yell in there, so was in there yelling first Papaw and then Mamaw, and after each yell, she would just scream with laughter.  Roger was outside and said it sounded like we were torturing a child inside.  

Then we have a couple mystery games on our computers....the kind where you are to hunt for objects.  Wow, does she ever love them.  And some of them you have to figure out how things work and she is doing that.  Just growing so much.
