Grandson update

Each time I see Xander, it seems like he's grown even more. He's such a pretty baby and I have to admit I love taking pictures of him and his great grand pa together. This was taken Sunday April 21st.

Hawksbill Crag

Our hiking trip today was to Hawksbill Crag-also known as Whitaker Point. The directions say drive up a hill for five miles-they lied-it was six-and this hill was one of the steepest in Arkansas-and did I mention it's gravel? The hike is 1.5 miles each way supposedly-but if they can't keep track of mileage on a road-do you really think they could keep track up and down a foot path? I don't think so.. but here's some pictures anyway.

On the road again...

Actually, we'll only be on the road a little bit. Trying out the RV again to make sure everything is in tip top shape before vacation. It will be Loki's first rv trip. I'm not exactly sure where we're going-I get to go to sleep and wake up somewhere.

It’s ’nice to do something good’: Kids raise money for family of boy killed in Boston Marathon bombing. This is why I love kids and believe the in the future of our country-even if we have an idiot running it now.

Gambling problem

 I might have thought for one brief moment that I have a gambling problem. Every Friday night that I work I buy myself one lottery ticket for every hour that I work-ten tickets-opened religiously every hour on the dot. I don't spend a lot. Most of the time they're the one dollar tickets, but occasionally I splurge and buy some that cost two dollars a piece so I might be out a whole twenty bucks. Most of the time I get about half of my money back-so  I have to console myself with the fact that I'm helping students(Arkansas Lottery Scholarship) and the special needs girl that uses the losing tickets for second chance prizes. But on one particular night, I spent ten dollars and won eighty. Happy woman that night.
Which brings me to today. I was waiting patiently to pay for gas-just gas-no lottery tickets because it's not Friday and I can't buy them ahead of time-the anticipation kills me and this elderly man was buying lottery tickets-the biggies. Twenty dollars a pop and he kept buying them and kept buying them.The clerk asked how many more he wanted and he said he didn't know-he just wanted to buy one at a time and once he won he would quit. He won five hundred dollars. I would have loved to know how much he spent before he won that five hundred. Now I really don't think that my ten little tickets are a big problem. By the way, I buy them all at once-very quickly.
