Just playing

I have a young neighbor who visits occasionally. The other day I dragged out a coloring book that I found at a thrift shop and crayons that I bought and we colored together. I really enjoyed it. Now I have a book of beautiful fairies and plan to do some coloring on my own. I also have been known to blow bubbles with this little girl. Do you ever just "play"?

All the TIME, susie. My two girls are forever setting me up as their customer while they do my hair, my nails and even give me a full body massage. Sometimes, they will beg me to be their baby. It makes me feel younger, you know.

Funny how kids can sometimes make you feel younger, sometimes older!

I have did the same thing with my niece colored a picture while she did. I have also played dolls with her. It makes her mind me this way.

Coloring I do. Playing house not as much.

Well since my basic attitude is, I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys'R'Us kid, you know that I love to play...When I was a kid my big thrill was to get my nice new box of 64 Crayola crayons...Well, I am now the proud owner of a box of 126 crayons...and I've just been eying a bigger box in my local Walgreen's --LOL--and yes I do love to draw with my crayons!!

That sounds like fun. I do get to "play" when my grandchildren visit. I just love getting down on the floor and playing Barbie's with my granddaughter. And, my grandsons actually had me jumping on the trampoline. Well, they jumped and I just kind of bounced, but it was fun and they liked it.

I haven't jumped on a trampoline in years. I imagine I would just "bounce" too. Grandkids keep us young don't they?
