Just Chillin'

 Grace's love of a pool gave me the idea that we should all head to Palm Springs for the weekend, since it was going to be chilly in L.A.

 Actually, Bamma and Bampa came up with the idea and said we could come along.

It may look like Grace and Aunt B. are waving to their fans, but they're really preparing to empty the pool.

 Look out!  There are a couple of sharks in these waters!  

 No more photos, please.

 OK, just one more.

I could get used to this.  Hey, Bamma and Bampa, my weekends are wide open. See you in the desert!

Feeling Hot Hot Hot

 The weather made it feel like summer on Sunday, so I headed over to the Santa Monica community beach house for a day of swimming.  And I mean a day of swimming.

 I could not wait to get in that pool.

 I jumped in about a thousand times.  And I am not exaggerating. 

 I stayed in the water for hours, with an occasional break for some Pirate's Booty and a bite of apple. It was pretty amazing.

I'm told I fell asleep about three minutes after getting into the car to go home.  It's possible I also suffered a meltdown when told I had to get out of the pool for the last time.

Uh-Oh, Spaghetti-O

 This is what I look like at the beginning of a meal.

 And this is what I look like about ten seconds in.

You try shoving food in your mouth as fast as you can and see if you don't end up with a smidgeon of sauce on your face.

At least I clean up nice.

Dark 'n Stormy

Grace has been having some problems with mood-regulating.  And, like many people in L.A. on this day,  Grace has her panties in a twist because, after a lifetime without rain, we finally received a deluge.

After splashing through every puddle she could find, all she wanted to do was watch Monster Math Squad on Netflix.  But, of course, the streaming gave her problems, and she had to wait and wait for her shows to start playing.

 Wow, it was rough, and such a wait!

 But Dad made popcorn, Monster Math Squad finally appeared, and Grace settled into the couch, blissfully unaware that the rain continued to fall outside.

Throwback Thursday: Grace Runs the Dance Party

Press play and enjoy this little clip from back in the day.  The year was 2011 and the Black Eyed Peas were on every wedding playlist. Recognize this tiny dancer?

Leopard Girl

Sometimes, I'm a wild animal and I can't be tamed.

  I am highly skilled at crawling along narrow branches.

And I can shinny up to the highest reaches.

I like to blend in with my surroundings and keep watch over my prey.

You better watch out!

A Man of Few Words

 My apologies for the long absence.  I've been busy learning stuff.

 I'm figuring out words and matching them to things I see in the world.  So far, I'm pretty sure I know what a doggie is.

 Unfortunately, I still can't read, so I sometimes go places I'm not supposed to.

Oof, learning is hard.
