Random Ramblings

The bowlers continue to improve. Boo bowled a 220 last night, to my complete amazement. I told Gary I felt inferior playing against the 6-year olds... It is nice to see them be totally confident in something, though. They even give each other advice while playing and cheer for each other. Those are definitely good skills to learn. At one point last night I ended up with a split that I knew would be impossible for me to knock down. Doodle commented, "I could get those, Mama..." Confidence? Yep, she's definitely got it on this one.

Our beautiful day yesterday has turned into a cloudy, dreary, get-ready-for-the-storms kind of day today. It's another Kansas day, I guess. They're forecasting another round of nasty storms for this afternoon/evening. I'm praying for smooth sailing...again. Peter graduates from college tonight (how is he old enough?), so I hope they don't have to deal with crummy weather. We're probably going to just stay home this weekend and get healthy for next week's 4-day week. We have to have everybody in good shape to graduate! We're doing homework at home today and learning about place value. It should be a fun day. Well, it should be a fun day if we can avoid the bad weather!

One more totally random thought: Am I the only one who is plagued by an uncoordinated non-dominant hand? I was playing the piano this morning (just some drills, not actual songs) and was reminded just how "slow" my left hand is! I can use my right hand without even thinking about what note is next, but I have to think when using my left hand. It's strange the things that just float through the mind...
P.S. All these flower pictures were taken in Meme's yard here in town. It's been so much fun to see what blooms out each day. We currently have a bouquet of peonies on the kitchen table. The house smells wonderful! :)
