Innovations!

Tonight while eating dinner, Pops created a new drink. This drink made him "feel like a little kid" because it was so playful. He said this drink would be like a slushy if it had "more ice and less drink." Essentially he just poured himself some juice in a cup with ice but he was so excited that I didn't want to rain on his parade.

Strange Amusements of WCM

Pops was reading the South Bend Tribune today and found an article that really got him and Mother excited. It stated that a Gino's East Pizzeria Restaurant is to be erected in Heritage Square, a "high-end market and shopping center," as Mother put it, that is within 2 miles of WCM. For those who aren't familiar with Gino's East, it is a pizzeria restaurant that specializes in the Chicago, Illinois style of deep-dish pizza pies and Mother and Pops are fans of their pizza pies. In fact, upon reading this news, Pops "kind of grabbed his chest and said something, but he didn't follow through with it, he just kind of stopped." Mother and Pops then both raised their hands up in excitement and let out short exclamations before regaining their composure and calmly discussing some of the business aspects of this story. Later on in the day Mother began making lists of flowers that can also be a girl's name. She then went on to make a list of birds that could be used as a girl's name but only got Wren and Robin. She's kind of on the fence on the name Piper but she thinks it works.

Mother's Folly

The residents of Woodcliff Manor ("Woodcliffians" for short) headed south to the Indianapolis Metropolitan area this past weekend. I had band and orchestra obligations which Mother and Pops graciously took time to watch in between their time spent with Young Germy. Mother had many pictures taken with Germy but when we got home she was unable to find them. Silly Mother left the pictures on the memory card! Maybe a "tech-wiz" or a "computer-wunderkind" would have known to look there, but I don't blame her for not being able to find them. I mean how could you fit all that film onto such a tiny piece of plastic? Mother's now watching "Lost" which is one of her favorite shows. She believes that she's capable of writing for "Lost" because she's able to predict the dialogue. She'd be able to incorporate some of the new curse words that she's used into her writing. This blog is evidently popular among employees of the Navy, so perhaps mother can one day exhibit some of her sailor talk.
