09/April/2017 - Restful Sunday

After all the excitement yesterday, we were all glad to take a "day of rest".

Dodong, of course, didn't need as much rest as the rest of us.  He continued his "work" today, such as turning over Kuya's school desk and chair.

Dodong keeping "busy"!


Oh well!  Things could always be worse.

Sweetie was so happy to FINALLY get a little rest!

Hi Sweetie!

Peace!

08/April/2017 - Go Fish!

The big excitement of the day was a trip Dodong, Kuya, and Old Grump made to the Go Fish Eduction Center in Perry, Georgia.

All three of them had a great time!

Kuya


Grump attempted to take pics of the cool fish in the giant outdoor fish ponds.  Many of his pics were simply reflections of himself in the thick glass of the viewing window.




The boys had fun running about.


There are alligators in there!

That's a big fish!

Of course, Grump had to act silly!



Kuya and Dodong were more respectful.



The boys also did some "boating" and "fishing".





Dodong did a bit of "fishing", but he mostly just steered the boat.





Going to Go Fish wasn't all we did!  We also made a trip to Warner Robbins, picking up some essentials at one of the Filipino stores there, and then getting a yummy early dinner at Saigon Noodle House, a Vietnamese restaurant.



Later we went shopping.  Whilst Grump and Sweetie went into the store, Lola, Kuya, and Dodong stayed in the car.  Kuya took some pics:





Finally back home, Grump demonstrated that Dodong can be the tallest member of the family when he stands on Grump's shoulders:





Peace!

07/April/2017 - TGIF!!

It's Friday: Hooray!!

This was the view out a window of the office building where Grump works.  The weather was MUCH, MUCH better today than it was earlier in the week.

Clear skies over Columbus, Georgia


Back home, we cut an amaryllis flower that had been damaged by the heavy winds earlier in the week, and brought it inside.




We also had visitors!  Dodong's friend Miss C. came over for a quick chat.

Peace!

06/April/2017 - Life Goes On

As y'all know, for the time being Grump is forced to work out of town, in Columbus, Georgia.

Meanwhile ..... back home, life goes on.

Kuya and Dodong have fun playing together.

By the end of the day, Kuya is sad that he has to stop the fun and go to bed.




Peace!

05/April/2017 - Stuck at Work

For Grump, it was just another Hump Day during which he was stuck at work.  Part of "being stuck" was due to the odd weather.  Although it was very calm outside, the weather conditions were ideal for a tornado strike, so everyone was a bit edgy.  Yuck.  Stupid weather!!

For breakfast he added some dried cherries to the oatmeal-chia seed-raisin mix that Sweetie makes for him.  It was very yummy!

For dinner he has been chewing on these delicious crackers:



Peace!

04/April/2017 - Beautiful Day!

Wow ...... the weather today was gorgeous!  After the ridiculous high winds of yesterday, it was a nice treat to be able to walk outside and enjoy the sunshine.

Back home, Dodong responded to this good news by ....... pooping so profusely that it leaking out through his diaper and soiled his pants!

Taking advantage of the beautiful weather, Old Grump went for a long, long walk during his lunch break, snapping pics of the pretty old Victorian houses that he passed.

You can see those pics here:  http://planetarypics.blogspot.com/2017/04/more-columbus-ga-pics-march2017.html.

For dinner, he and a coworker went to a pizza place downtown, Your Pie.  The pizza was yummy, but kinda small; both he and the coworker were still hungry after they left the restaurant.

Grump's yummy but too small pizza dinner


Peace!

03/April/2017 - Stormy Monday

It was an odd day in Columbus, GA, which is where Grump found himself, it being Monday and all.  (You DO know that Grump works in Columbus, GA, don't you?)  A tornado warning just before lunch forced him and all his coworkers down into rooms on the first floor to wait out the high winds.

Yuck!

I suppose, other than this nonsense, that the excitement of the day was a series of selfies Kuya snapped and sent to Old Grump.









Old Grump responded to this be getting attacked by a banana.






Oh well ....... let's leave these two guys to their silliness.


Peace!
