Waiting For Something To Happen...


Hold on to your hats, the sun was out in Petawawa today. It was positively balmy, around 15 Celsius, and its supposed to be in the 20s on the weekend. Sweet. The kids didn't even come in the house after they got off of the bus, they just dropped their bags, and ran. And what a gaggle of kids in the neighbourhood today. Seriously, I had absolutely no idea that many kids lived on our street. The sun must have drawn them out of the woodwork. And for some unknown reason, the Bobbitt backyard was party central. It was the same way in Gagetown, all of the neighbourhood kids loved hanging out at our place. I suppose one advantage to this is I know where our kids are at. Of course, the sunny afternoon bliss was short lived, as Katherine's little friends were not around for long. So then she was bored. There's nothing to do in Petawawa. No kidding. I looked out the window, and she had set up her chair in the middle of the lawn. Apparently, she was "waiting for something exciting to happen." Poor little thing, I'm afraid she is going to be waiting a very long time. This is Petawawa after all.

Another good article about the guns.

"Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.”~~Soren Kierkegaard

Tell Kattie she'd be just as bored here unless she'd like to play in Grumpy's basement; all kind of treasures there to find.
