Hexagons and Pyramix

Nice morning.  Cold, but nice!  Mom was up late with her usual difficulties, but she set things up for us this morning so we could get out the door and go through our routines, including one of Madison's staples for breakfast, cinnamon toast.  

It was a nice day.  Madison got a 100 on a social studies test, and is doing well in that class, as they're studying the Reconstruction Era after the Civil War.  Gotta' watch out from them Yankee carpetbaggers!

No piano or taekwondo tonight, but there was something else:

This has become one of those "must-see tv" events lately, and tonight was another episode we were all talking about.  A lot of the children's pastors were throwing around theories tonight, and it was funny hyper-analyzing the episode with them, with Madison throwing her input in too.  One question about the show that hasn't been figured out is "why the hexagons?"  That shape keeps popping up, and Madison is quick to spot it in different places.

Okay, that's a picture from our sanctuary at church.  We've had those hexagons since the beginning the pandemic, right about the time that the show was being filmed here in Georgia.  It's funny how Madison spots these so quickly.

I finished the script for Sunday today, and it should be fun.  More of the yeti, of course.  Mom was working on fixing up that yeti today, adding some nice buttons for the back.  She also went out and got a rainbow llama, another prop for the skit.  Madison is going to want that one when we're done with it!

Here's a bucket list item!  I've solved two different types of puzzles on my own, this one and a "missing link" puzzle.  The "Missing Link," or "Whip It," was actually pretty easy to figure out.  This Pyramix was a bit more challenging.  I watched a video or two on how to solve it, but just couldn't get those algorithms figured out in my head.  So I did it on my own using a bit of intuition.  It was pretty mixed up, and it completely surprised me when I did a set of moves that got it solved.  I used to be a big fan of these games, and I had several of them when they were super popular at the beginning.  I couldn't solve any of them though.  Except the "Snake" of course.  That's not exactly a puzzle though.  The big one is the Rubik's cube, and I've solved it once, but just can't seem to get those algorithms memorized to finish it off.  Some day though!  That's one of those life goals.  By gum!

Anyway, tonight we were watching "The Greatest Game Ever Played," and after that we read from Matthew some more, and finally from "Scoundrels."  It was a nice day, although a cold one.  Tomorrow we have to get up early for the church conference.  Madison is coming with me, and it should be a nice day.
