Made my night

I almost got the Christmas spirit last night.Watching the LaGrange Christmas parade on TV it was so so really kinda boring.

Then it happen.I seen the funniest thing.There was a local karate class of kids in the parade marching.A demonstration of karate or kung fu something was gave by two little kids who look to be around 5 years old or that bouts.

Now these little fellas where getting into this kung fu stuff.One of them really got carried away or maybe just mad.He was really bopping the other kid's head and doing those high kicks,twirling and spinning like Bruce Lee.For about a minute it got out of control and the grownup walking in the parade with them had to break it up.

I know.My sense of humor can be on the dark side but it made my night.

Don't want to go back there

Them good old days.Where they really all that good or was it we didn't have anything else to compare with it? Someone was talking about their water well not working like it should this morning.That started a conversation about way things use to be.

Going to the well drawing water.Outhouses out back.Chopping fire wood.Burning coal in the fire place,splinters in your feet from those rough wood porches.

Guess I'm getting sissified or just lazy but I like these modern things.Flip a switch and you get cool air or toasty warm heat..Popping your popcorn in a microwave.TV and computers.Going to the grocery store when you need bacon and such and not having to do the dirty deed of slaughtering the animal for that bacon.Coffee in a Mr Coffee on and on.

Yes those days are just nice to talk about but me for one don't want to go back there.
