One of my favorite gentle clowns (other than the humble clown I live with and married, of course!) is Red Skelton.
A few days ago while surfing the Web and looking for a gift for my hubby, I stumbled across Red’s recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Haven’t seen this in years! I hope you enjoy and appreciate this as much as I do. It’s so beautiful … and appropriate as we head into our 4th of July, Independence Day weekend. (Go to the bottom of the page for the video version.)\
For the last month or so I’ve been assisting a wonderful couple find a new home. As we’ve gotten to know each other, I was delighted to find that not only are they the parents of darling little Noah, they were huge Ken Griffey, Jr. fans. In fact, the first time I chatted with them prior to their move to Washington, Dad was absolutely certain that four-month old Noah already knew how to play catch!
As the proud grandma of our own little Tyler, just one month ahead of Noah, I decided it was time to get baseball hats for the both of them, which lead to a pair of tickets for my relocated clients. The hats were HUGE on both of the boys, but little Noah loved the game!
Some time ago I stumbled on a quirky little site, Random Web Site , that specializes in taking one to random sites, usually obscure. It’s a fun timewaster, but, of course, one has to be careful not to get too sidetracked (you know … that NEVER happens to me!) And, as you can imagine, browsing the Web at random sometimes leads one to the oddest things.
Now, before showing you these goofy buildings, you must know that I’m a pushover for houses and architecture. I mean, you know me! Always up to go see the newest subdivision, the biggest home show, the best in designer home tours!
Random Web site took me to see Village of Joy this morning! This fun and crazy Web site specializes is a very different look at buildings! What a step away from the usual mix of staid, ho-hum architecture!
So … without further adieu, visit Village of Joy’s 50 Strange Buildings of the World! Oh Yes! And while you’re there, visit their other links — I thought their 50 Weird and Crazy Cars post was a hoot too!
While working with some delightful clients a while back, I had a chance to interact with their two young daughters, Katy & Sarah. We let their Mom & Dad plow through some paperwork while we colored pictures and talked about playing on the computer.
Inspired, I decided to see what I could find that might be fun for them next time we had a chance to play! These sites look like SO much fun!
Okay, just one more … apparently there are hundreds of these sites. Who knew?
May you be surrounded by friends and family …
and may you be full of good things … like TURKEY!
and may you find a comfy chair afterwards to nap it all off!
