Hardy Boys books

When I was a little girl I loved the Nancy Drew Mystery Books. My sisters and I had a huge collection of them. Now that I’m thinking about them, I wonder whatever happened to them! But I digress…. When I had my first son, I thought he would enjoy reading the Hardy Boy books. So I bought a bunch of them, pretty much as many as I could find. Well, he never read a single one of them. And neither did my younger son. So I have a ton of Hardy Boy Books that have never been read. Just taking up space on my bookshelf, collecting dust. From time to time I think about getting rid of them, but being the pack-rat that I am, I am SURE that at some point in time there will be a male relative who wants them! Maybe I should pack them in a plastic storage box and put some desiccant in the box and store them in the basement. I could use the shelf they are on the the media room for something else!

Cookie Monster is eating Fruit!!!!!

My son and I were watching the June 19 episode of The Colbert Report on the Internet earlier today because my son had seen the episode and saw Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster on the show. Remembering how much I enjoyed watching Sesame Street with him some twenty-odd years ago, he looked it up on the Comedy Channel’s website so I could see it too.

I was shocked to see that Cookie Monster has learned to eat healthier foods in recent years – he now loves fruit too! It was a cute very cut episode; if you would like to watch it click here.

I can’t believe it’s May already

Geez the year is flying by so quickly! It’s May Day, May 1st. I was telling my hubby yesterday that I can remember as a little girl we had big May Day celebrations at school. We’d spend the whole day partying. The schools would set up a “carnival” type scene with games to play. Parents were invited to attend and we’d learn a flagpole dance that we’d perform for them. We’d make up May Day baskets full of flowers and leave them on the door step of a friend, ring the doorbell and run away. Then all of a sudden one year it stopped because our government discovered that Russia celebrated May Day with big parades and we didn’t want Russia to think we were supporting them by celebrating May Day too! What a crock of bologna that was! I loved May Day celebrations and think we should continue to celebrate! It was a celebration of spring!
