Merry Christmas Eve, Kids will Never Know, Penguins, Humpback Whales and Lily

 Merry Christmas

Eve to all!

I was listening to Christmas

music on the way to the 

Christmas event on Sunday.

I can't remember which song its

in but there is a line that 

says something

about a "five and dime"...

I had to laugh, kids today do not

even have a clue what that is.

The next day I was on FB and 

saw this pic.

Another thing that 

kids today will never

know. There is no 

creativity when it comes

to play with kids today. They live on 

phones or gaming system.

My grands have bikes, but Nana

is going to take them and play 

with them when she takes them 

apart. They have laid outside in 

the elements for several years now,

they guy that cuts the yard, moves 

them around to cut.

I have to say my grands do like

playing board games though, and 

I love that. Me and my two used

to have a game night after dinner

through the week. It was fun.

Before heading out on

 Sunday for the 

hour plus drive, I was 

killing time till

I could leave. I watched 

a program, the title

was, "When the Earth 

Changed". It was of 

course about COVID and 

it showed pics

of places like LA, all 

covered in smug 

then another one just 

a week into 

the shut down, and 

the air was so

clear and crisp looking. 

But they also

focused on animals 

and how they 

started to venture out 

and how their

life changed during shut down.

It was really interesting.

I learned that in Africa where I 

would never think you would find

penguins, there are some. They making

a braying sound like a jackass, 

they are called jackass penguins.

Okay, that was funny.

Penguins are the cutest!

I also learned that Humpback

whales go down under the water 

and blow bubbles that herd and 

trap groups of fish together.

When done, they swim up and 

chow down on the feast.

Used to tell my mom that if

we had the internet when I was in 

school, I would have been a 

straight A student!

This girl looks like a queen

sitting up on the couch 

like this.

Talk about 

ADORABLE!

The girls and I wish you 

all a very Merriest 

Christmas,

Pam
