Beneath the Wraps

                Wednesday was a more relaxing day as the only driving was on the part of Tony who had loaded up the car and came on down to spend with us.  I had washed three loads of clothes before they got here and I think they ended up doing four.           We played or started many games.   I think there were more games we hadn’t finished then there were those we finished.   Richard made fish for our lunch and decorated cupcakes with the kids.   I think Tony and family left shortly after 7:00 and decided to head toward Medford in order to see the temple.   They said they returned to Roseburg after 11:00. Yesterday required more driving as we went to the Wildlife Safari. It seems each time I have gone to the park there seems to be less number of animals than the last time I was there.   We did see a group of staff members watching a cheetah in the parking lot.  ...

           I like having people look me in the eye when we’re talking.   It annoys me when the person I’m talking to seems more focused on a toy, tablet, or another device.   For years I just thought of it as rude.   Yet over the years, I have learned that some people pay better attention when they seem focused on whatever they may have in their hands.             Jenna is one of those people who pay better attention when it appears that she doesn't seem to be focused at all.   She gets annoyed with people who don’t realize that she’s paying attention when she is.   I have already created a post about her ability to talk and listen at the same time.   It boggles my mind that she is able to do that.             Nobody ever learns at the same level – though it didn’t seem so obvious when I was a youth as it does now. ...
