Ring the Bell... PAD #1104

Today’s April Challenge photo is of the bell on my old firetruck pedalcar. It is in the basement and needs some TLC to get it back to being shiny and new for Eva to play in. I’m not sure if she will play in it eventually but it would make a nice refurb project for me to take on. Not saying that I will be able to do it and not committing to do it. But I’ve been thinking about it because there is no reason to hang on to it unless to fix it up for use.

Allison told me the other day that she can’t wait for April to be over because of all the depressing entropy pictures that I have been taking. I do like the challenge but have to agree. So today when I got home from taking Eva for a walk I sat her in the garden and took these two happy photos.

I'd like to smile

Bright Eyes

We will have to go to Spohr Gardens this summer. I would like to have Allison and Eva sitting on the bench like Allison did back this past summer.

Waiting for Eva

I love this shot because of the intimate moment between mom and her future daughter.

HIMYM: The Chain of Screaming

4 Comments

The Chain of Screaming was actually a pretty good episode. It served to do a couple of things. It ended up advancing the story of Lily and Marshall. We see now how Marshall’s life made a change and we saw a big friendship moment between Ted and Marshall.

Having each character (Except Barney) put on Marshall’s suit and go through their daydream about what they would say to Artillery Arthur was funny. However the Robin and the gun thing was pretty uncomfortable with all the office shootings we have had in this country. But again it shows Robin’s thing for big guns.

I have found that when I correct someone now I step back and say, Oh I just Mosby-ed you, I’m sorry. I love how when Ted was doing his speech he Mosby-ed himself, that was pretty funny.

And Lily, she was hilarious this episode with how horny she was. Her story completely degenerated into how absolutely sexually frustrated she was which was pretty funny.

And Barney with his continued revising of his theory of the Chain/Circle/Pyramid of screaming. It was pretty funny. Then having Barney have Marshall scream at him was even better. Marshall puts out there all the things that has made Barney such a screwed up person over the years. Barney was so oblivious to it because he believes these lies about himself.

So, next week it looks like we are gonna get some more Robin Sparkles, fantastic.

You can watch the episode on CBS.com.
