Trauma?

Oh, dear.

My grand son drew this picture while he was here last week:



Clearly, it is the tick I tweezed off his little chest.

And I totally recognize the dots as bacteria from his favored book, The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts.
Also, we had a conversation a couple of times about the feelers/antennae on bugs.


I am worried that this is a sign of trauma to his sensitive nature.

  1. Or its just a little boy drawing bugs. Here's a cute tip that my daughter does with her day care kids. When they draw something neat, she traces it on material and embroiders the picture on the cloth, makes the edges cute and makes a little hanging pillow.

  2. I would say that he really is able to express himself with his art. Who know all that is going through that head, but at least he has an outlet with his artwork.

  3. Or maybe he is a budding scientist. Look on the bright side.

  4. Well, sure . . . it could be any one of those innocent little things already suggested...

    Or...
    It could be that he's foretelling his own BLOOD POISONING from the TICK!
    LOOK AT THOSE RADIATING LINES!!!!

    Just kidding.

  5. Hmmm, looks like something from outer space to me. But, seriously, watch out for those ticks. They are nasty little things. I've had Lyme Disease three times -- it's no prob. if you catch it right away, but no fun if you don't.

  11. Pretty awesome tick...or sun...or alien. Probably just having fun figuring out his artistic abilities. Whatever it may be, it's cute and worthy of a spot on the fridge! :)

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
