Tonight I went out on the front lawn with my two year old foster daughter .As we lay on our backs she snuggled up to me and the northern lights started kicking in and we watched the twinkle stars ( as she calls them)come out. Every thing is new to her and she is so full of excitement.
Earlier in the day I took my three year old grandson on a delivery I had to make at our local park. We rode the newly restored narrow gauge steam train
and went on the old carousel. I think I had more fun than he did.
Not one minute of quality time with a young child is wasted.
 
Right on man :thumbup: Must be something special to go in your front yard and be able to see something as pretty as that , and to share it with someone you love :)
 
That is wonderful and magical!! Reading your post put a great big smile on my face!!
 
What's best in life?

1. To crush your enemies.
2. To see them driven before you.
3. To hear the lamentations of their women
 
Oh yeah, I guess laying on the lawn with your kid watching the northern lights is pretty ok too.;)
 
If Timujin had someone to watch the Northern Lights with when he was little, he might not have grown up to be such a bitter, aggressive adult.

Bit too much of Conan, isn't it?
And you even aren't in California :D
 
Now that I'm a widower (after 43 plus years with a great lady) and living alone in an big old adobe house in rural New Mexico, I have to say real pleasure is when one of my three cats climbs in my lap, snuggles down, and purrs like a badly tuned outboard motor. The cats take turns and all three are laying here nearby on the carpet at the moment (also have five big dogs and a neat little mare outside).

Agreed! I took my 6yo nephew to Greenfield village mothers day weekend (saturday) They have a machine shop with turn of the century machine tools and they have a Brown and sharpe turret lathe set up to turn a small brass candle stick (holds a birthday candle) from some 3/4" stock.

The opperator helps the children advance the apropriate cutters, and before their very eyes they see a candle stick emerge fromm the brass bar.

My nephew was not really interested because there were a few kids in line in front of him but I insisted we wait.

It was a treat to watch the expression on his face change from bored, humoring his uncle to excitement as he watched the cutters he was controlling shave away the brass.

When we walked out of the shop you would have thought he'd just walked on the moon.
 
...The best things in life is life. Not having life must suck.

Just keep repeating to myself:
"L6steel is really Halle Berry, L6steel is really Halle Berry, L6steel is really Halle Berry".

Maybe that'll keep me from getting the Heebie-Jeebies.
