Time for Trivial Pursuits Kite Flying

For some strange reason, mind feels so fresh after spending time with little ones.

@vandana7 Exactly.

It is the children who teach us. I learn lots of things from them. You are lucky. Erly.

That is so interesting. Let me see, like making dishes for them. Or teaching them rhymes. Great! What rhymes will interest them? Or dishes?

@gofsey ..The boy likes Aamir Khan's bum bum bole, masti mein dole song from Taare zameen par apart from Lakdi ki kaathi and Chanda Chamke cham cham..he tries those steps and tongue twisters. He also likes rhymes...favorite would be I think rain rain go away..lol. Little girl loves This old man..he played one..and five little monkeys ...I just have to put the second one and her face lights up.

@vandana7 That is so fascinating. Dancing is an art and I like the way children try out complicated moves. I mean they are learning to walk straight now.The girl seems to be very energetic and enthusiastic. You must be having a great time with them.

Yes, 'times there a-changing' and I too like a good game against the computer or online against some friend from Russia or Australia. Indeed, the modern man needs very little beyond a computer and an internet connection. Enjoy! Modern man! Have a nice time!

@gofsey I am not a modern man. But a modern lady.

@allknowing Oops! Pardon my mistake! Sure, gals are on the go more than guys. Have a wonderful time.

That is certainly news to me. I know my sister would stand beside me when I was flying my kite. But her friends and she would not try to fly it. Ha ha you certainly are something more than the normal handful if I may say so.

So, what is stopping you? When you turn that corner and make the decision to be a child once more, you discover happiness. But do not be careless!

That is the bottom line always ha ha. . You can join with people who are playing and have fun. You don't have to be playing yourself.

@gofsey Enough people seem to want my bank account number. I never give it out of course even if they are going to deposit 150,000 pounds in my bank for me.

@suzzy3 Hey that is a good thing! I never have people who want to make a deposit into my account. You are lucky!

Yes, talking is the best thing you can do. Unless someone is asking for your bank account number.

@gofsey My son tried that when he was 8 or 9 and sold what he made to his classmates

@toniganzon , wow, good businessman when he grows,lol.

I tried my hand at origami but that is too much trouble. I never got past planes and boats.

You said it!

The kite keeps soaring with every gust of wind. It seems to be borne upward by the thoughts and desires. It keeps tugging at my hand as like a little child that wants to cut loose and run away. I like the feeling.

True. Time is not so much a determinant as your own heart. Nice to talk to you today.

@gofsey By stitching, do you mean my quilts? I haven't had much time for sewing lately.

@AnneEJ Yes. Never mind. I was just being curious.

There are other fun things like bird watching, bird bath, bird feeder because I see you have many trees and so you will have many birds. You have given up stitching haven't you?

Yes, the sight of the kite in the sky is divine. I can spend hours flying kites. What sweets do you make on festivals?

@divssri yes yes, we call it payasam down south. I like sweets

@gofsey on rakshabandhan sewai are popular.

Try making paper objects -- origami. I know it will be a waste of time considering your busy schedule. But just fold a piece of paper and leave it there until you pass that way again. Make a boat, airplane, butterfly or flower. One friend of mine makes packets and sells them in medical supply stores (pharmaceuticals). They use it for packing medicines.

@gofsey Great idea!
