Gotcha!

Posted on by

Once I’ve tracked you down, there is no escape.

Gotcha!

This is one of those times when I am thankful for a barrier between the cheetah and me.

That confident, determined look is a bit spooky.

To me the angle of the tails adds to the overall ominous tone.

Drama Queen

Posted on by

Radi is quite the drama queen.

I’m not much of a drama queen myself though I do have a few friends and family members who fit that description.

I wonder if they realize it.

Recently, I heard that some people have blind spots and are unaware of how they appear to others.

In Radi’s case, I doubt that it’s a blind spot.

He seems to behave this way on purpose to get attention.

Happy Meal

Posted on by

This is Radi’s version of a happy meal.

From your perspective, what makes a meal happy? Is it:

  • How good it tastes? 
  • Who is there to enjoy it with you?
  • How comfortable the setting is?

Easter Bunny’s Assistant

Posted on by

For another one of my Community Service tasks, I agreed to serve as the Easter Bunny’s assistant.

I volunteer my time and do any tasks the Easter Bunny gives me.

I expect nothing in return except knowing that I help bring smiles to some children’s faces.

There is the possibility that I might get some treats, though.

Community Service

Posted on by

In our family, we look around our community to see if there’s someone we can do to be helpful.

I’m not well suited to sorting food at the local food bank.

The soup kitchen told me I wasn’t a good fit for their needs.

Finally, the idea occurred to me that I have more toys than I need.

I decided to donate some of them to the local animal shelter (after mom agreed to keep buying me new ones).

Underwater Wrestling Match

Posted on by

Otters are great divers and enjoy being underwater.

I discovered that they also have wrestling matches underwater.

Should we give them stage names and costumes?
