Video Games

Written by my friend Teodoro Martin

I thought gaming systems were for kids until I got married and learned that grown men are playing these video games! I am sitting on the couch just wanting to watch DIRECT TV but instead my husband is playing Modern Warfare. Let me just paint this picture for you. He is a thirty year old man, sitting on the couch wearing a headset playing a video game. He plays online with other people, most of whom are his other grown men friends. They actually talk smack to each other while they are playing the game. I always try and talk to my husband when he is playing. It is so hilarious to watch him try to act like he is paying attention to what I am saying when I can see that he isn't. The best is when he has to answer a question and he covers the microphone on the headset to answer me. As if he is embarrassed to be talking to his wife! Do boys ever grow up? I can't really say anything though because it isn't like he plays all day and he usually waits until I am in bed to play.

Visitor

I had a visitor today. My daughter drove over to see me and spend the day. That is always great. We went to the nearby town and joined her twin sister for lunch. We had a great nice long visit. It is too bad everyone is that far apart that we can't do that more often. It was a cloudy day but the rain stopped overnight and roads dried off good so it was good driving for my daughter. It looks like the sun would like to come out now that it is almost sundown but I don't think it is going to make it.

Fresh Eggs

My niece lives on an acreage. She has quite a few chickens and they are really laying. She has been keeping her Dad and me in eggs for some time now. I also get enough to share with my daughter and granddaughter. With all the Christmas baking that is going on, you can really use a lot of eggs in a hurry. It is nice to know they are fresh and organic too.

Baking Cookies

I bought some cookies from the Girl Scouts that were already made and frozen. They are so handy to have in your refrigerator freezer or freezer. You just get them out, open the box, put them on cookie sheets and bake. I got the chocolate chunk cookies. Last night I decided it was time to get them out and bake some of them. I like to share them with my neighbor. They are really good and full of lots of chocolate chunks. And who doesn't love chocolate? A hot cup of tea and a cookie or two and your favorite book or TV program and you have it made.

Car Accidents

Because we got rain on Saturday, it froze and turned into ice on everything. Then the snow started. It was pretty to see even the trees were white because it stuck to them. However, after all the snow fell, it became treacherous driving and there were many accidents. Several people were killed in car accidents. That is so sad, especially in the Christmas season to lose a loved one in a car accident.

Vacation

I just took a vacation in Branson, Missouri. The weather there was just about the same as it was here at home. We expected it to be a little warmer but I was dressed for it. We went to see Soji Tabuchi, the number one show in Branson. They are known all over for their gorgeous restrooms. And that was correct. They have beautifully decorated Christmas trees and many other Christmas things to see. I heard one of the men say there was a pool table in the men's room. The show was unbelievable. I do not like violin playing but he did it so well and in such an entertaining way with amazing sets and beautiful costumes. It would be hard to describe it all to you.
