Lorelei moment

At breakfast this morn, Lorelei was telling about this knife/fork/spoon that her friend has.  It is a fork on one end, a spoon on the other...and on one side of the fork it has a knife.  Well, Papaw was calling it a spork.

Lorelei was saying no, it is not one of those spoons with fork tines cut in the end...and back and forth.  Then Papaw says, Oh, I know what you are calling a spork.

Lorelei:  "Papaw, let me explain this to you one more time!"

Mamaw lost it and am still laughing about it.

From a little drive...

We went for a drive a couple days ago...we actually covered a little bit of territory we have not covered before.  Saw places we have not seen before.  We saw this place across the farmland.  I was thinking it was going to be a beautiful place. When we got closer this is what we found:

 I can't decide if it is being worked on or given up on.  The door looks new.  The garage door looks new.  So maybe it is a work in process.

Just between you and me, I am not sure if I could find the place again.  If I could, I would go back a few months from now just to see.  I want to believe that it is being worked on.

A few randoms...

1.  Does anyone else love home-canned tomato juice as much as me?  I love to have a jar handy if I get a cold.  It is one of the few things that sound good and tastes good then.

2.  I am enjoying the birds at the feeders this winter.  Do you now feed birds and have you always? I did when I was a child...mom would let me feed the extra cornbread, and some corn.  I can't remember what else we fed them.  We did not buy food...in fact, I wonder how long has big bags of bird seed been available?  I just started feeding them again in the past few years...so the big bags of birdseed may have always been available and I just didn't notice.

3.  Yesterday, we found this new place where it was easy to get to the Big Raccoon Creek. It has a big sandbar.  A perfect place to take Lorelei.  Hoping we can make it back there this summer.  It is a good place to wade and/or fish...and she can throw rocks to her heart's content.

4.  This is one of the little cuties we saw yesterday!

5.  I totally love days like this...I only wish they came more often than they do.
