Putting on a New Hat
This blog has been temporarily interrupted by tiny steps in the dark just now--many hours before her usual South Dakota wakeup time. I've been handed a book and ordered to "READ IT!" And so instead of posting about drinking water or potash or Alaskan global warming as planned, I will be reading "If You Give A Pig a Pancake."
Future installments at Fragments, temporarily under new management of the Little Princess who arrived downstairs in her tiara of streaming stars (thank you Granny Annie!), will include: Abby and Tsuga; Abby catching minnows; Abby on horseback; Abby and the Llamas. You get the picture.
I'll be wearing my Grampa Hat today. It gets far too little wear to suit me. (But for the moment, her wee self is sitting on the loveseat wrapped cozy in a blanket, narrating the pictures from a Richard Scary book her mother used to 'read.' It's possible she may just doze off for a while and let me work. I hope not.

Okay, Fred...the suspense is killing me. If you give a pig a pancake, what happens?

I wore my grandma hat last week and it is wonderful to have the opportunity! I look forward to the pics.

There’s nothing like a few moments of seeing the world through a child's eyes to give you an entirely new perspective on the world, a more hopeful one at that.
Though, judging from those butterfly pictures you've probably already found your inner child.

I have come to crave my unklin' time as well. We childless types still need to be reminded that the future is coming and that we know the ones who will be living there.

Hey Fred,
Enjoy all those moments you can and have a great weekend! As a retired media specialist your mention of the book brought up warm memories.

Richard Scary is great! We have far too few Richard Scary books around our house for the kids - but there are enough. We have a green van, which the girls call the "Pickle Van," so named after the pickle car that makes appearances in the books.
