Hark! Back! Is a look back at blogs that appeared in a now defunct blogging site before I started with blogger in September of 2008. They are in no particular order.

Conversation with a three year old
Last evening I spent some time with one of my Great Nephews...he was three on April first. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday...the party is on Sunday...he replied "Cake." I asked him what kind of presents he wanted..."Balloons." I made the mistake of calling him "Honey"...he replied "My name is not Honey it is Mason." I asked him if I couldn't call him Honey anyway...he replied "No, I am Mason" then he would scrunch up his face, roll his eyes and extend his lower lip. I explained that Honey was a nice name...and he changed the subject.
During my conversation with my new Honey/Mason...I discovered he had a haircut by Pam, had a good day at Barbs, Barb has two dogs with no names, his sister was asleep and so was his Mother, he wants to be an Excavator driver when he gets big, his Grandpa is not my brother, his Grandpa was never ever a little boy, his Dad was never ever little either, his Dad is big and Grandpa is his Dad's favorite.
I have an old jar that I keep on the counter in the kitchen...filled with Tootsie Pop Suckers. Most small children leave the house with a sucker in hand. Mason always chooses one for himself and one for his sister...he wanted a green one again. I have never tried the new green ones...but they have passed the Mason test...he said they are yummy.
Well while I was enjoying my conversation with Mason his Grandmother was out walking and saw six Robins behind our house. She always seems to be really lucky seeing the first Robins of Spring:)
