Bowling

I had a great time at Bowling tonight. I got some good laugh and few ladies to talk with and both team root for each other. Mariann have a real cute giggle that make me laugh and smile, so I really smile a lots tonight. I bowled good tonight too. My average is 116 and I got 132, 128 and 122. I am happy with it. I just love to bowl for fun and meeting other women. The women treat me real nice and they all know that I am deaf. It is a good group of ladies at bowling. I have few real good friends now that I love to talk with or listen to them.

I babysat today too. My grandkids behaved good. We watched four movie together. The two older kids just have spelling to do for home school and that all they had to do today. So it was nice to sit together and watched the movie. We watched three movie of High School Musical. It is good. What is so cute about, Tidus and Chaselyn did the dancing. I just love it. It was fun to watch Tidus as he is only one and half year old.

Tired Tonight

It took me two day to do the laundry.I am all caught up. I usually wait til the end of the month. Don't ask me why. Today, I helped my daughter to home school my grandson. I admire my daughter of how she home school the kids and take care of the babies too. She have more strength than I do. Wow....I am very proud of my daughter, Heidi...She did an awesome job raising and teaching her four children (my grandkids)...It is a very long day. By the time it was over, my sinus headache came back.(suppose to rain tonight) I came home so tired. I still have to put all of the clothes away and make my bed. Tonight I will be able to sleep on my bed since the water leak from upstair that drip on most of the floor and part of my bed. Tomorrow I have to get up very early as I have to babysit four grandkids. I hope I will be able to go to bed early and sleep well.

Early Birthday for my grandson

Tomorrow will be my grandson's birthday and he will be seven year old. Today I took him to the library as usually we do that every Tuesday. After the library we went to McDonald. My grandson did most of the talking. His famous quote is: "Nunna, did you that ....". He mention about one of the toy that did alots of flip, when he cleaned his room that he found a cool unicorn that shine when you hold it against the light. He asked me to guess what color his car will be when he become an adult. I didn't guess very good. So he told me that it will be yellow with black stripe like the bumble bee in the movie called "Transformer". He talked about making a bike ride plan. He is very talkative young boy...He put big smile when I think about it through the day..He talk just like his mom...His mom love to talk too...(sorry sweetie pie) hehehe

After we left McDonald, we decided to take the trail on the way back home. While we were walking, my grandson grabbed me and said look, there is a bug that like to swim on the water, later he got me again and said look, there is our first bumble bee we saw this spring. After that I shout and said look, bird, yellow finches. It was a very nice walk together as we explored the nature. When we were almost home, I asked him if he had a good time. He said OH YEAH....

The Blind Boy

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'
What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was much more effective?


Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.


The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it.

Little Gentleman

Yesterday, my grandson (6 yrs old) and I went to the library. We spent about one hour at the library and then I took him out to eat for lunch. We went to McDonald. We ate and talked for awhile and then it was time for my grandson to get his free ice cream cone. He told me that he wanted to go alone and get it himself. I stood from the booth and watched him. My grandson stood behind the older couple as he was waiting. The two little girls ( about 4 and 5 yrs old) and their grandpa came up. The two girls stood in front of my grandson. The grandpa of the two girls told them to go behind my grandson and he told my grandson to go ahead. This one surprise me and put a big smile on my face, my grandson told the man that he wanted the girls to go first. After he got his ice cream cone, he came and sat down. I said him what I saw and that the man was trying to teach the girls how to get in line and not to cut in. Now get this, my grandson said that he wanted the girls go first because he feel that is the right thing to do. I told him that it was very nice of him to do that and that he turned into a little gentleman. Wow, how many little boy or young boy do I see will do that. I have seen so many children who do not have manner or have not been taught to have good manner. I have seen elder men who let lady go first but not young boy or men doing that. Generation sure have change. I am very proud of my grandson for letting the girls goes first and act like a little gentleman. Most of all, I am very proud of my daughter who taught him how to be nice and how to treat girl/lady nice. I can see my grandson in the future to be a best husband and a father. Now I have a grandson who is little gentleman. :)
