He asked me if I was just piddling. I replied I reckoned so as I had gotten hot and tired from playing. My grandfather said to me to be sure to always be making a plan whenever I piddled so I would NOT become trifling. I asked him what "trifling" meant and he said that is a bad thing that people become who waste time and don't use their brains to think and plan while they piddle. <BR/>Just one of the many little lessons in life and vocabulary words I learned from my beloved "Daddyman" as I called him.

I check my email while enjoying a cup of coffee, usually with something to 'nosh on, I catch up on everyone's blogs, do a few little chores, and just enjoy the quiet. It's truly my most favorite time of the day.Kitty Scrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253502223133660506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-18744901052855216352008-12-12T22:48:00.000-06:002008-12-12T22:48:00.000-06:00Amen to early rising and piddle-ing.
