"And That Is All the People Need to Know"

Dad may be the only one who gets my title. Dave knows there is no more surefire way to elicit giggles and squeals from the girls than to play "THE CLAW", a game Grandpa played with him. He raises his hand high in the air, attempts to hold it back with his other hand and then sends it clawing out and crashing down on the girls to claim its tickles.

So, what fun it was today to watch a real live claw in action! We called our special garbage truck to pick up all our old carpet rolls from the curb. This was the same truck that came to get our hot tub. It's so fascinating that we all stand glued to the window in our jammies, watching the garbage man maneuver the giant claw around with a joy stick, scoop up our piles of junk and then lift and dump the huge loads into the truck. He must think we're pretty funny as he waves at us. Unfortunately, I do believe we're now out of big things to throw away in our house!
