THE ADVENTURES OF JJ PICKLETOES

Is it too early to be learning things?  I am walking a little and I am talking a little.  But that doesn’t mean that my brain isn’t soaking things in.  Like Grandpa says” just because I don’t talk much doesn’t mean that  I am not paying attention.”  . I love learning new things.  It seems that if I am learning, then the things must be…

Playtime is over,   Overrated.  You would think that there would be time for play, over the break?  Not so.  I got a work bench for Christmas and I been busy using the saw, hammer and the wrenches.  My cordless drill like any cordless tool, Milwaukee or Dewalt, has a dead battery.  My dad has a Milwaukee cordless drill set, but the battery is…

It has been a busy few days.  We have been to several family Christmas gatherings.  We have been to a couple of Christmas church services.  We even had time to go to our friends for lunch after church.  . I have received some very nice gifts from generous friends and family.  . I have received a nice hoodie from…

That’s correct.  It is the day I have been looking forward to,  It doesn’t happen very often, but it has happened.  . I know what you are thinking.  It is getting to be that time of year.  . For our family, the Christmas gatherings have started,  You may celebrate Hannukka or something else this time of year.  The meanings may…

There seem to be a lot of boxes.  Why would we need so many boxes?  There are boxes all over the place, I can hardly walk around here with so many boxes.  I can hardly walk anywhere, so the boxes aren’t really the problem.  I may not be the best walker that you know, but I am really good at taking the tape off…

It is a frosty morning.  We are out for an adventure in the ‘hood.  We are doing some interesting things.  We stopped and watched a gaggle of geese in the field.  They are having a rest before starting their long journey to some place with a warmer winter.  I should go with them.  Wouldn’t it…

Have your parents tried to save time and energy?  . Parents out there.  Have you tried to do things to save time and energy?  . My parents are always trying to save time and energy.  . They both have jobs and then after work they love to spend time with me.  And I am a handful.  A…

The details.  That is where you see the important things.  . There is a photo that my parents set up.   A nice Fall, Thanksgiving photo.  There is a dashing young man sitting behind three pumpkins.  It is set up nicely, with me and some pumpkins overlooking the street from our balcony.  At first glance you notice…
