put the needle on the record*
I spent a morning with my brother and his kids over the weekend.
It was great fun joking around with my niece and nephew - I've been seeing a lot of my brother but his cute kids are always in school so I miss things like

the old fence ate my arm trick. (Can you tell that my brother's children don't know how to pose for blog posts?)

See? Silly! That's how you open the fence.
Little kids are tons of fun - you can put them on top of things -

But you do have to stop to tie their shoes.
Oh, yes, we went to Target.
After a fix -

How funny is it that the workmen are drinking from the roach coach?
It cracked us up, I'll tell you.
My brother's local Target was like a ghost town.

It was ten in the morning on a Saturday and there wasn't a soul there.
We were the only shoppers.
We saw some great stuff -

I wanted this tent for my bed.
Here's half a chair.

And, look!

It's a pile of those faux wood lap desks that all the design blogs were writing about a couple of weeks ago.
I'm telling you, if there's something that Target is sold out of in every store, it was at my brother's Target.
We had a great time.
On the way home we saw two miraculous sights.


The Delorean yards - shrouded in a fog from the 80's.
And, The Mysterious House Of Horses.

I am stupefied at that horse head sticking out of the front of that house.
Don't laugh too much or I'll hit you with a pork chop and a hairstick**.
*My brother said this all morning.

also, I want to buy one for Badger's neighbors, to go with those creepy tree gnomes they have facing her yard.
you must train the young ones in the art of blog-photo posing.
Anyhoo, what I was GOING to say was that I have three Targets near me and one of them is a ghost-town Target and I LOVE THAT because they have everything. I hadn't heard about the lap desks but my girl child needs one so it may be Target Time.
-J.
I don't think you realize how the make my days, each and every day.
Thanks to you I could go into Target, after 6 months.
And the priceless horse house...hmmm...O.K.
Cute little nephews you have there.
And the Deloreans...what can I say...!
Where is that Delorean yard? Seriously. I have a friend who still has one.
