A great reminder that it’s not always about the “latest” gadget. Entertainment can come from old blocks and some attention from a Grandpa.

Janice -

I might make a good ventriloquist’s dummy. They have heads made out of wood and I’m pretty much a “blockhead,” too!!

Cheers!

Sounds like he’s a “chip off the old block.”

Hmmm….guess I better start reading the comments first before I make one. Looks like Donna and I are on the same wave length today. Must fall under that category of “all great minds think alike”.

Also, I’m amused that this anti-spam word is ‘blocked’, and…..Dee is really on a roll today, sometimes I think she missed her calling as a comedian.

Little children are happy with the ordinary things in life. I wonder if that is why Jesus tells us to become like little children. They are satisfied with the simplest things, they trust and they love unconditionally.

Gee, Greg – Jackson sounds like a “chip off the old block” to me. I mean, aren’t you a “blockhead” sometimes?

And, you certainly seem like – in a lot of ways – a “square” guy. Also, we know how YOU love playing with wood (i.e. building fence sections with three – is it “vertical” or “horizontal” – I don’t remember – cross sections to hold the fence up).

You even have a dog named “Chipper.” As in – perhaps – “wood” chipper? That’s what you’ll have to get Jackson next, I suppose. But then, that would defeat the purpose of stacking up blocks and then knocking them all down – and laughing hysterically.

I’ve been accused by my son of being a “hyper-hysterical” woman, myself, so maybe I should come join Jackson in his play. But me – I’d like to THROW some blocks at a few people at the moment!

Oh well – must go. Have a doctor’s appt, so don’t have time to sit here any longer throwing “chip” shots at anyone, much less YOU, Greg.

Cheers!! And many blessings to each of you today!

Dee

P. S. Good post today, Greg. Not some throwaway piece of plastic. Solid as wood.

[Dee: You are just not going to leave that horizontal / vertical thing alone, are you?]

Sounds like a similar exercise that church members practice at lunch on Sundays. Set up the preacher’s sermon and knock it down! Boys like doing stuff and what better stuff than knocking things down.
Peace.

They often like the boxes their toys come in better than the toys themselves!
I have to smile sometimes when I see one of the anti-spam words on your blog. “Gidday” makes me think of Jackson’s names for ya’l – Grinmama and Grindaddy I know lots of “grins” abound!

It still makes me laugh hysterically too….unless it is a stack of files I knock off…then laughing is not what I do…..

Kids love the simple things. Maybe that is why Christ wanted us to become like them.
