Thursday #256-A Play date?

**gini** · 03-12-2008, 11:48 AM

Gosh, it must be the Santa Ana winds kicking up - they always make my eyes tear up.

Look - the swing is moving back and forth - but there is no one on it.

This is a wonderful play area you have created Richard - just perfect. I think all of us will be spending a lot of time here now that the weather is better.

A banana daiquiri - what a way to start the day.

Thanks for the plaque. I always forget the little details.

I wanted to plant a Blueberry tree too....But I'll wait until more people show up.

One Coffee, espanol?
DONE!

Miz G,
Banana Daquiri?
DONE!

Phred,
It sure is. I want a ride on it after they are done.
If you want a turn I'll push for everyone!

MOFF, You sure can.

OnE BB smoothie?

Done?

Ya think a pirate treehouse for the plaque tree would be too much?

What would Mario think of everyone wearing sunglasses?

Richard, dear, blueberries grow on bushes, not trees! Even the "high bush" berries are still very bush-shaped, just taller. We can, however, plant a blueberry patch in Mario's memory, and put a path to a bench in the middle. A big and comfy enough bench for whomever needs a resting place, complete with room for Lady and maybe the blue/orange cat!

I think what tree would be best for a Mario memorial would be a good crabapple tree. Why? Pretty flowers in the spring for a certain monkey to nibble for fun, and then, later in the summer, hard little apples that are good for lobbing at unsuspecting passersby and good twisty branches for climbing. How about that?

Grey rainy-ish day here, not to be boring, but chai, please?

I got those March winds in Chicago, the ones that bring the April showers, kicking up dust. <sniff> Here, I brought some bananas for smoothies, would anybody like one with me?

I should have known....for a long time I thought they grew in the square plastic boxes. To dumb Cah Lee Fuh Nee Ahns Everything grows on trees!

Your suggestions are great..Let me get out my saw and hammer.

LOL, that cat is still blue? We better watch out-we'll get a ticket for coloring it!

CM,
I'll take those, Go for a ride on the swingset and I'll blend you up a smoothie.
DONE!

I'm bringing a Cherry tree... where's a good spot to plant it? Bartender, you decide!

Have just baked a huge loaf of bread, it's actually quite yummy - anyone want a slice? I'll take a Café con leche with that, please - and a drop of Grand Marnier in it.

To paraphrase an Old Star Trek episode-

"Dammit Jim, I'm a bartender, not a landscaper!"

I think next to the Monkey Bars-so when it fruits we can climb up and serve ourselves!

One cafe, leche and Grand Marnier!
DONE!

LP,
LIT with cherries...and a bone for the pup!

DONE!

Banana smoothie and some butter for the bread!
