Tsk, We did hopscotch at school or we outlined one in the ground. No sidewalks or road in our little village. We did double dutch jump rope and this one Tinikling which is a traditional Philippine folk dance. When we were kids, we did it like a game and fast! Just line up and jump in when someone jumps out... Watch the ankles!!

And Mike and Shannon are easy to shop for, they're picky, so I know their likes/dislikes. Shannon prefers gift cards. If I don't make it down to the valley I do online shopping at World's Market for Aly or I shop in Pine or small antique shops up here.
Phyl, beautiful and cute Jim Brandenberg nature vid. Love his videos. I hope the skies are clear for us to see the meteor shower.
{{{Kb}}} hugs and prayers ... awww the power of cuddling.
Puff, LOLOL indeed it does
Baz, understand about rice cakes, they do taste like cardboard. If you don't drink a lot of water they do get your system in trouble. Didn't know they come in flavors. Though I like them, I haven't had them for years.
Oldguy, Maru
... thank you for posting the link to Derek Paravicini and Adam Ockelford. Derek's ability highlights what we don't know about the human brain. Mike had an older cousin who though not blind, was learning disabled/autistic. Of course back in the 40's when he was born they didn't know anything about autism. His cousin loved math and playing cards. He would play Gin Rummy, Canasta and Hearts. After Mike's uncle/aunt passed away a relative put him in a home. He died a few months later.
He was a sweet gentle soul.
