I was looking out the kitchen window the other day and thought to myself, self, hey it is tryly spring when you see 10 birds sitting on the bird feeder that only has enough room for 5 of them, it also means that I have to put out the other feeders. the other sign of spring is seeing the amount of dod poop that is on my lawn, sure it was cold and sure the poop would have frozen before it hit the ground, but now it's time to clean it up. remember that the kids are about to start playing outside and for some of us taht can't see the stuff it's time to start using the yellow boxes or little baggies. Enjoy the spring in Westman.
I know it's almost the end of January and I have not put anything up on my blog since December. Well with Christmas and then getting into the new year , and the fact that I have felt lazy for the past few weeks, it's time to get back at it.
So what to chat about today. I'm sitting here on a bright sunny day watching my son Evan play with his cars and create a wonderful pretend world. Do you ever want to be three again, and spend the day playing with toys? I have to say that it would be fun to do it just for a day. Sometimes I think kids have the right idea. We as adults get caught up in our day to day lives and don't take the time to stop and just play and just enjoy life. With that being said I'm going to go and play cars.
Here's the info if you would like to get involved.

Hey it's election day today, time to get out there and vote for a new mayor. I have to day taht I don't have one person leading my list of people to vote for. This race has been a slobberknocker, I think more time has been spend on bashing the other person than getting down to the point of making this city a better place for all. So I'm am going to vote today and I encourage all who can to, but I'm not sure who will get my mark.

Okay, just a tip for all those talking on your cell phones while doing dishes, DONT! Trust me on this water and cell phones don't mix, and you can't save the phone with your wifes hair dryer either. There is an upside to this story, you do get to shop for a new phone with new features that you need to learn how to use, and don't forget the hours of fun imputting all the telephone number that you forgot to store on the SIM card, that will make for a night of GOOD TIMES!!!
Have you ever droppe dyour cell phone in a strage place? Did it still work?
