Had a few technical issues yesterday. Out router wasn’t working right and I couldn’t connect. I got it working yesterday evening but then youngest DS came over with one of the grandkiddies and I had other things to do. Mostly listening to the wisdom of Scout’s ramblings. I swear, I don’t have a clue how his little brain works but it does…non-stop…

“Nana, listen, I’m gonna tell you. There’s wood and fire and water and that means war. So the wood is the strongest and it can HIT the water and that’s like the war. I don’t mean the old war. It’s like the new war.”

“Well, Scout, what about fire? Can’t fire burn wood?”

“No! That can’t happen because the wood is the strongest! The water puts out the fire and the man was going to do something and the sign said, “White’s Only” so the man was murdered and now everyone can and they burned the sign.”

“Ahhhh…What was the man’s name, Scout? Was it Dr. Martin Luther King?”

“Yeah, but you know what, Nana? His birthday is when we’re off school.”

“You’re right, Scout. We celebrate his birthday so people won’t forget the sacrifices he made. Do you know whose birthday we celebrate at Christmas?”

“Yeah, that’s God.”

“No, Christmas is when we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Jesus is God’s son.”

“You’re kidding! You mean he and Santa Clause are brothers? I didn’t know that!”

“No, he and Santa aren’t brothers. Santa Clause gives presents as a gift because he’s celebrating the birth of Jesus.”

“Was he in the war?”

Sigh…now you see why I didn’t blog.

It’s -1 degree and I’ve blogged too long. Gotta get moving!  I’m definitely dressing different today!  Yesterday, they had the heat cranked up in the building and I thought I’d die.  I was burning up all day long.  Drank water and iced tea non-stop because the constant dry air had me totally parched.  Thought I was right in dressing in long sleeves and jeans and a vest but it was a BIG mistake.  When it gets this cold, they’re going to have the heat blasting so I guess I have to dress light.  Go figure…
