Three things have happened in the last 24 hours of note. I’ll discuss in chronological order.
Event one. Last night Ben was waiting for a girl to get in touch with him because they were going out to shoot his shotgun. She never made contact so he asked if I wanted to go. I had priests and laurels in the back yard with the bishop; cute little Peter in the basement with his parents and dishes to be done but I said sure. Then it was off to Walmart to buy ammunition and clay pigeons. The clerk asked Ben if he was going out in the morning he said no tonight if we still have day light. Then the clerk said “Well you and your wife have a good time.” We walked away and laughed. I said well that made my day, and Ben said “I don’t know how I should feel being here with grandma.”
We did make it to the shooting place just a dusk. I was taught how to throw pigeons,(just so you know I’m terrible at it I would get a couple of good ones off and then I couldn’t even manage to get the disk out of the the little thrower thinger) I’m sure many more pigeons were wasted than shot, but I did manage to throw some decent enough for him to shoot. I shot exactly 5 shots. No I didn’t hit anything but came close once. I may have tried more but my shoulder didn’t have it in it.
Event 2 Clarissa came in after she had left the house to go to work and asked if anyone had be rumaging through the console of her car. After some discussion we realized that someone had been in all three of the cars. She had some very plastic jewelry taken and her CD case. Nothing seemed to be missing from the other vehicles. I wondered if the police would like to know about such things and they did. So a very nice officer came by and got my report, then Clarissa came home and said she found her CD case in the trunk so it wasn’t missing. So the great theft of the night amounted to some fake pearl earrings and plastic beads. Which goes to show you should probably lock your cars at night but on the other hand if you don’t have anything worth stealing then nothing is stolen.
Event 3. This one is really pathetic and shouldn’t be worth mentioning but I have to. First some background. Ben had started to play four suit spider solitaire, I told him not to waste his time it couldn’t be beat. He persisted and has now beat the game five or six times. Not to be outdone by him I have tried to also win and today I did. Isn’t that pathetic to be excited to have won a solitaire game on the computer, oh well simple pleasures for simple people.
Well enough of my interesting events, it is now time to go do the uninteresting task of dishes and mopping the floor.
