October 10, 2009

Saturday
A beautiful gorgeous day.. sunny, no wind, not too cold.  Mom was actually inspired enough to suggest a trip to the beach.  Since I've been trying to get her to go for the whole month, I jumped at the chance.  It was a blast.  We threw rocks into the ocean and played football (I mean, soccer) and then hockey with the rocks - we used mom's cane as a hockey stick.  She even started jogging at one point!  Marija walked along with us, but wouldn't participate in any of our foolish games.  She collected pebbles and shells and drew pretty pictures in the sand with her stick.
Afterwards, I ran home and the two old bitties drove home. On my run, I went past a dirt bike pit and there were a bunch of people there racing around on their dirt bikes.

Word............................nūja = cane
Dish..............................Marija offered me some canned berries but one whiff of them and I could tell they had gone bad.  She ate them.
Highlight.......................being at the beach with mom!!!!
Lowlight......................none!

Random observation................I don't think Marija is that good at canning.... she keeps offering me things that are bad and when I tell her they taste rotten, she denies it and eats it herself.
