Browns Bridge Sunset

Check this shot out on the way back from taekwondo. You can tell which direction we're going on Browns Bridge Road when we head home:  due west!  That sun is balanced right on top of the horizon, just waiting for us on our way home.  Pretty cool.  

We were at taekwondo, and Mom was working a bit on our scarecrow's head.  Can't wait to share it here!  Today I was drawing the mouth and eyes, and then cutting that part out.  But Mom's added some carved lines to make him look even more wooden, and soon they'll be paint.  And then the eyes... we have to get Groot to the Botanical Gardens on Monday, but he should be ready by then.

So Maddie is doing taekwondo, of course, and she's learning a weapon she's not exactly thrilled about - or has ever been thrilled with:  the sword.  For one thing, she was hit by a sword recently, as well documented here.  But all along, she's just never really liked it.  Still, she's going to give it her all and try to learn it well.  I need to get that lightsaber up and going so we can have her do a routine with the lightsaber too!  That would be fun!

Today was about readjusting my diet, as the working theory is that I have gastritis, which affects the stomach lining.  Therefore, it stands to reason I don't want to eat anything that troubles that lining.  Which is a lot of different food.  But I'll fast a lot of my favorite foods for the time being, just hopefully long enough to get healed.

While making Groot's head, we were watching "Chicken Little," a seasonal favorite of ours.  And tonight, we checked out a new "seasonal" thing, which is really only seasonal because it involves the Munsters.  It isn't a traditional Munsters movie or episode - it was just a really peculiar promotional movie for a park called Marineland, which features aquatic animal shows like SeaWorld.  I have no idea why the park marketing folks thought that a giant Frankenstein character and his Halloween family would be ideal characters for marketing a fun day at Marineland, but it was still a fun little trip.  Not saying we'll watch it again year after year, but it was an interesting thing.  Munsters purists probably have this one on their list too.

Okay, I guess that's about it for today.  We closed out the day with reading, and then prayers too of course. Decent day!
