Lights, Shrimp, Action!

The Lightning Bug is everywhere! There is no place that strange light cannot fly. Elway tries to eats the light and the bug allows him to think for a second or two that he actually succeeded. Then the Red Light flickers back to life, letting Elway know he failed to conquer his prey. I have ran all over the house, and jumped on walls trying to discover out how to slow that light down, but have been unsuccessful.

Mandy has been busy the last few days. She has been washing some windows and cleaning out some cupboards. The windows look very nice and I can now see clearly through the clean ones again. A man came to the house yesterday and worked on the noise maker. It was awful! He carefully played each note and then would change how the note sounded. Some of the changes were minimal, but others were awful! After he finished torturing the noise maker, he played some of the most beautiful music. I always enjoy listening to Mandy on the noise maker, but this guy could really play!

We had shrimp for dinner this week! Elway normally reports about shrimp immediately, but he has been pouting since the Shrimp Dinner. Mandy shared her shrimp with me too, and Elway thought I was interfering with his dinner. Mandy says we have to enjoy the shrimp while we can because the oil spill is still a mess, and they still have not cleaned up the disaster! Unacceptable! She says the oil is still flowing into the water and that fishing is being stopped in our area. What we will do if we cannot eat Shrimp and Fish?! What a catastrophe! People, clean up your mess! Please?

Sam has had long weekends lately and I am enjoying our summer schedule. Mandy and Sam normally play all day on Friday and then work most of the day on Saturday. As I watch them now, both relaxing on the couch, I believe this weekend will be no exception. They both have books and look like they will spend the day lazily. Although, I can tell by the way Mandy keeps glancing around that she is hoping to do something. It will be interesting to see how they entertain themselves. Last night, Mandy opened up Vacuums lair and asked Sam to get down a small box off the shelf. They sat down on the floor and proceeded to throw small white cubes with black dots around. They would stare at the small boxes only to pick up a few and toss them around again. At one point, Mandy yelled Yahtzee! Elway and I watched and watched and even tried to help Mandy by batting the boxes around, but Mandy said she did not need our help. What strange things these people do to entertain themselves. Perhaps they need a Red Lightning Bug too.
