Easter Egg Hunt And Other Stuff

+++++

This is Tuesday so where the Hell are my Tidbits?  I protest.  When some half-assed blog promises me something and they don't come through then I want my money back.  

Before you choke on your grits and cornpone, you will get your Tidbits, but just a day later than usual.  Nothing nefarious here, it just isn't quite ready for posting today so we'll do a switcheroo and give you Wednesday's post today and Tuesday's post tomorrow.  Now take your fingers off your wrist, your pulse will come back down to regular beats in just a minute or two.  

Thanks for your patience.

This is the obligatory family Easter Egg hunt for the wee ones in the Blythe clan in Florida.  That big red thing in front is, of course, Drewber, father of Norah and Ayala, aka Alfred.  He had to go to work at Coca-Cola which explains the redness.    







From left to right:  Emily watching over Liam on the far left.  At the far rear tree is Norah, and the center tree is being covered by Alfred and Mackenzie.  To Kenzie's left is Alhanna, Drewber and Brendan.  There are clusters to avoid, mildy distressing clusters to conquer.  This was a kind of a fun cluster as the kidlings were sent out to find eggs for the first time.  Fun to watch new, unformed brains figure it out.  



Later we got a reading by Norah.  She isn't shy and if she can commandeer a group she will.  And she did.  



Mrs. Wombie was kind enough to send a couple eggs from a local maker and they really enjoyed the,  They were monogrammed with the kids' names and may just be put in their memorabilia boxes for safekeeping.  Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Wombie.

For the adults the Bunny left burgers from the grill, Texas brownies and homemade ice cream.  For basic family stuff it was hard to beat; almost totally devoted to the kids.  Why not?  

Before I let you go on this quiet, short-post Tuesday, while you have disappointment all over your face along with that little bit of oatmeal on your lower lip,  I want to share a picture that you may have seen before.  It was dredged up from a post a few years ago and features the Blythe Boys in an Easter parade.  How they got Philip in that rabbit suit amazes me to this day - perhaps he did it knowing that in a dozen years the folks would be buying him a sharp Chevy ragtop for high school.   But I digress.  



Seaton, just 10 miles from Emerald City, used to have parades for town kids.  Marj must have been so proud to see her kids peddling along with all the village probably pointing at smiling.  The things we do for our daily gruel and diaper changes.

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless.  Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001.  It was one of those things that can generate crime:  two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job.   Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things.  Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold.   But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find.   His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead.  He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds.  He will be paralyzed for life.   None of this is pleasant.  Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant

Summer Swim

It's Monday and the start of another work week.  Except for me.  I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers.  These pics need no words.  Why muddy the waters?   They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley.  The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter.  If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one.  But, please, no more.

Florida Air Museum - Part 3

Welcome back to a pretty neat tour of the Florida Air Museum in Lakeland Florida.  There's a lot to see and a couple of the old Geezer Gold Wing guys are already sitting down instead of walking around looking at the exhibits. That's John who is wore out and making a call to his wife.  In all honesty, John was pretty well bushed before the ride.  He told me his daughter's family was down from one of the Carolina's with the grand kids and he must have played with them too much.   He's about to take off on his own and head for home, but he's going to miss a couple of neat things out on Hangar A.   But, before we walk over there, we have lots yet to see here.  If you saw The Aviator with Leonardo DiCaprio playing Howard Hughes, you'll remember that he went up in a plane during the filming of one of his movies to prove a point about flying.  He crashed trying to execute a roll and this is a picture of the plane he crashed.  Note the propeller
