What’s for supper, Mom?
Choose-your-own-Adventure Stir-Fry!
This sounds like great idea! And the kids can help. Often if they’re part of the planning and prep, they seem more likely to eat what they make. Good luck! —Sharon

The ice travels down that troth and into the funnel looking thing where it gets blasted out by the huge motors and delivered through large hoses to either boats or trucks. The same way today that it was done 25 years ago. Some times when things work you stick with it.

Where Zat Answer
Since Shawn Cromwell (Congratulations!) identified this week’s Where Zat? so quickly, I may as well show you the whole photo. Here’s where I hung out during my kid years, smashing periwinkles with rocks for bait to catch cunners with drop lines off the float. I remember my cousin Dickie caught a sculpin one time. Scared the crap out of all us girls!
Notice that the boards at the end of the pier are missing. Each year the city guys put the boards up and shortly after, the boards are gone. Kids need to get a running start to jump. And how can you ride your bike off the end unless you have a clear path? I’m sure 75 years ago my dad did the same thing. Life as a kid in Magnolia…there ‘s nothing better! —–Sharon

Snoop Mad Is Fearless
While The Bean had to build up courage to go down the slides, her younger sister is missing the “fear gene” It’s amazing how different they are, The Bean being mindful and neurotic like her father and Snoop Mad being headstrong and fearless like her mom.

East Gloucester is a great place to walk, especially with a camera. I like to take close-up shots of ordinary things. It makes me more aware of design and patterns in everything. —-Sharon

The Bean Climbs At Monkey Joe’s
Yesterday we went to Monkey Joe’s. It’s a childrens place where they have a bunch of those blow up jumping and climbing things. We luckily got there right when it opened and there weren’t too many people there yet. We generally don’t like to go to these places because I’m thinking that they are just big time breeding grounds for germs and sickness with all the kids drooling and wiping thier snots everywhere(my kids included). What made me feel pretty god about Monkey Joe’s was that when we got there (right when it opened) everything was wiped down with antibacterial wipes. Everything was just about dry from the wiping and you could see that they went over everything.
It took the Bean a while to build up enough courage to climb this on her own but once she did, there was no stopping her.

JJ Jinglenuts Cleaning His Junk
Not sure this needs much explanation.
We’ve actually been contemplating the legal name change to JJ Not-So-Jingleuts ever since he had his boys “lopped off”.
Snoop Maddie Mad has a phantom cut on her finger. When we ask her where she got her boo boo she exclaims excitedly “JJ!” Now every time she bumps her head or falls we ask her who did it to her and she says “JJ!” Poor Mr Jingles, he’s pretty much doomed in this house.
