Day #4771 (Sat., Jan. 28, 2023) – Great Hiding Place!
I went to get groceries at Harris-Teeter this afternoon. Got in the Camry and started it up no problem! I had a piece of duct tape over the light switch so that the lights would go on when I started the car and would go out when I shut off the engine and opened the driver’s side door. It has worked for years, but failed last night for some reason. I think I have a new solution. I will put a laminated card over the driver’s side door latch that says “Lights On”. In order to open the door I need to push this card out of the way, so “hopefully” it will trigger me to shut off the lights. We’ll see…
While at Harris-Teeter I picked up a dozen donuts for the kids. A reward for Bobby getting 98% on his math test the other day, and Katie getting 100% on her theater exam. Good kids… Smart too…
Later this afternoon Katie, Bobby, and I played some “Hide & Seek”, one of his most favorite games. He has a new hiding area that I helped him create (see photo to the left). The cabinet in the hallway where we keep the towels (when Bobby is not hiding there). Kate found a great hiding space as well, behind the floor mats near the drums.
I made the kids some hot chocolate with chocolate stirring spoons. They enjoyed munching on their donuts while they drank away.
My wife examined Katie’s report card a bit further and she is reading at the College level now.
Bobby and I watched a bit of a Leonardo da Vinci documentary on the television in the living room. He already knew some stuff about de Vinci and it held his attention for quite a while. Not to the end mind you, but for quite a while.
