A weekend in pictures

Like a lot of you, I write my most brilliant posts at 3 o'clock in the morning.  In my head.  In bed, tucked under blankets in the winter chill.  (Right, you live in Phoenix Arizona, you do not have a winter chill.  Tell them it was 72 degrees here today).  (We are spoiled here in winter, but come summer we will "pay" for it, as you know, with temps way over 110 degrees).  

Anyway, I digress (once again).  Those posts I brilliantly write in the wee hours of the morning fade from my aging brain by 6 a.m. and of course I can't remember them, except for  maybe a snippet or two.  

So I got nothing today.  Except for the last few pictures I took with my cell phone this weekend.

Winslow, in all his cuteness.  Enjoying the warm Sunday afternoon sun.  We have taken to sitting outside on these weekend afternoons in the sun, along with him, to get our Vitamin D.  I like to think perhaps it gives us some protection from the virus.  At the very least, the warm sun feels good on these old bones of ours.  

The pool is 52 degrees.  Any takers?  A coworker's nephew and family jump into their pool on New Year's Day as part of the polar bear swim/challenge.  She showed me a video of them doing it this year.  Good that they did it, but not for me.  Would you do it??

Over at son's/DIL's Saturday night for dinner.  These are the wee one's (grandson) pop-its.  Have you heard of them?  He has about 20 of them. They are fidget toys and supposedly great for stress relief.  (sorry, I got the photo off center a bit).  

Saturday morning's sunrise.  

The wee one's birthday present from us.  He'll be 6 years old next month.  How he got that old so quickly I have no idea.  If you haven't heard of Ryan you are pretty lucky, in my opinion.  He reviews toys and has a very popular YouTube channel.  He is also worth a lot of money.  The wee one likes him, likes to watch his reviews, and plays Tag with Ryan (a game) on his tablet and my phone.  It is a cute game.  The egg has mystery toys inside of it.  The wee one told me he wanted this for his birthday when I saw him Saturday.  It is exclusively at Target and our Target had one in stock.  We grabbled it while the going was good.

Will you play with me?

And that is pretty much what is happening here with me, especially this weekend.  Technically I have a 3 day weekend though I'm going to work tomorrow.  The office is closed but the department I work in is part of payroll.  The company does their payroll weekly, so those who process it have to work Mondays, regardless if it is a holiday or not.  They get the Friday off before the Monday as their holiday.  I'm a temp and don't get paid for the minor holidays I'll call them (Martin Luther King day, President's Day, Veteran's Day and the like) but get paid for the major ones (Christmas, New Year's, Memorial Day and the like).  My supervisor gave us temps the option to work or not.  I chose to work as we weren't really doing anything for a 3 day weekend and might as well earn some money.  The two other temps that work with me chose to take it off.  I welcome the opportunity to work in a quiet office.  I won't be the only one there, as payroll will be.  Hubby will come and have lunch with me (there's a fast food restaurant right across from where I work).  It will be a good one!

Until next time.........
