TJ Maxx Playground

Yesterday, Shelley and I were in TJ Maxx just killing some time, looking to see what we can see. We found ourselves in the household goods section. It wasn't long before we heard the crash and clanging of falling pots pans. I just snickered to myself, wondering if Shelley had knocked something over in the next aisle. (Just kidding.) ;) I kept hearing the rattle and clanging of pots and pans for several minutes "too long" and drifted around the end of the aisle to see what was going on. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

There in the next aisle was a young couple who had a baby with them - maybe toddler age, maybe not quite yet. While the "adults" were obliviously looking through the cookware, their baby was sitting on the floor, playing with numerous pots and pans scattered all over the aisle - as if he was in his own toy room! Say WHAAAAAAT????? You bring your baby to a department store and let him play as if in his own toy room? ....and not pay any attention to him?

What is wrong with people these days?!

Discovery

We got word this morning that the shuttle was going to stop over at AMA for fuel on its way back to Florida. I went out to the airport to get some photo ops and to see the real thing. As it approached AMA, Shelley reported that it flew right over our house! How cool is that?

This is the tail of the DC-9 that accompanied the 747/Discovery.

Abundant Harvest

 

I saw on the news a few nights ago, that the Panhandle farmers are having an abundant harvest due to a lot of rainfall this summer.  I saw photos of maize stocks that were almost seven foot tall.  This is quite a boost for the entire area.   What a blessing!
