Spring break ----

"M" Yeah Tiger! How come it waited till school was out for a week? to rain. Don't know Tiger - Ole mother nature is about predictable as -- well as any female. Three days of vacation has gone and it has rained ever day. Taint fair. The Tiger growls. Just look out side - water and mud puddels all over the yard - Oh yeah M - how about getting the ole motor bike out - just look at all of those mud puddels going to waist. Leave it up to a ten year old - one minute he is gripping about the rain and in the same breath he wants to go out and take a mud bath. Don't know Tiger - it's still a bit cool - there's a chance you might freez them off. Aw - M - its not that cold and besides I can put on an extra pair of boxers he says with a miscevous glint in his eyes. Oh! I guess for just an hour - then you will have to come in and wash the mud off your motor bike and - before I could finish he hit me with -- Whose going to wash the mud off me? Didn't take long till the Tiger was at the kitchen door hollering - "M" "M" I'm through you can wash the mud off me now. I hook up the water hose to the faucet in the laundry room - adjusted the water temperature and out the back door - there stood the Tiger - minus all his clothing caked with mud. Took about twenty minutes to wash all the mud off his body and out of his hair - then in to take a warm soapy shower. You could hear the shower splattering and his melodeus voice echoing down the hall as he showered snd sang -- You are my sunshien, my only sunshine, you make me happy when sky's are grey - please don't take my sun shine away ---- In a while here comes the Tiger stomping down the hall with bare feet and dressed only in a pair of boxers - He trots over gives me a hug - thanks M - that was a lot of fun even though I did almost freeze them off. I had made a pot of beef and vegtable stew for the evening meal - so the Tiger and I had a big bowl of stew - each -- Yum Yum sure was good. The rest of the week was spring showers and at times the sun poked through the clouds and then the clouds would clomp together and take that sun shine away. The Tiger did'nt ask to ride his motor bike again -- guess he thought there was a chance it was cold enough to freeze them off. Smiles and hugs Movieman -- love you all
