Things Gone Missing
Ever lost a sock in the wash, misplaced your car keys, can’t find yesterday’s mail? Well, as they say everything is bigger in Texas, when we misplace or lose something, it isn’t some insignificant item such as a pair of sunglasses or a shoe, but we apparently take it to the next level and lose much more grand items…like say….a Cow!
Yes, we found a cow wandering in the greenbelt behind our house, we assume he managed to escape the confines of a local rancher (overtstated the obvious there, didn’t I?). He was just grazing, acting like he belonged there and didn’t give a care about anything. Meanwhile, local authorities organized a search party to try and round up our oversized friend. How ironic it would be if his photo turned up on a milk carton.
No word on if they ever corralled him and returned him to his righful owner, but it did make for some interesting photos.
The kids nicknamed him, “Angel”.
Ever Forget How Fun It Is….?
Have you ever forgotten just how fun it is or can be to simply sit around the table and play a board game? Last night, we had such an opportunity. Our neighbors, Tommy and Amy invited us over and after a couple of beers, a homemade fish dinner, a few french fries, complaining about the other annoying neighbors & their kids, half a bag of tortilla chips and more salsa than Gas-X can pharmacologically handle, we broke out the game Taboo. Basically, it’s the game password repackaged into a tidy little board game, where you’re given a card with a word you must guess, but your partner giving clues cannot utter reference to five other commonly descriptive words for the “word” in question. For instance, if the word “blonde” is your word, you can’t say “dumb” or “hair”, well…you get the picture. In short, we had a blast, we laughed at ourselves, at eachother and just plain had a good time. Reminded me of when I was young.
I remember as a kid, playing Shoots and Ladders, Candyland, Operation, Sorry, Yahtzee!, Monopoly or challenging my Dad to a game of Battleship or Stratego. Simple family fun and entertainment with no television, LCD or plasma switched to “on”. We’d take out a board game on a rainy day and play all day. Too many times these days we hibernate to our own “area”, watching our own DVD or movie and forget about the simple pleasures of just spending time, laughing and enjoying the company of our loved ones or our friends.
When was the last time you played a board game with your neighbors?
