Break Time

When I get a chance, I'm going to take a seat on this bench and just relax. In the meantime, I will be busy watching grandsons run around the bases or trying to run down a baseball. If I'm not doing that, I will be chasing a little white ball myself. Some people get high on grass, I will be busy keeping the grass from getting high. In other words, life is extremely busy in my little corner of the world. Daylight savings time is not really saving me any time. It seems to keep me busier. I'm not complaining just letting you know that I won't be commenting or posting for a while. I don't want to post photos without commenting on yours, so a break is in order. Check the bench once in a while and perhaps we can visit and have a a sip of the "tonic of the day." I will leave you with this song. Hopefully I will still have energy for this. :)

Watching the grandkids, playing baseball, mowing the grass, not bad pastimes my friend. Enjoy your time with them and the well earned break.

By all means, take a break SOT...but don't stay away too long...meanwhile, I'll be very happy to save this image and this spot to relax on myself...it's a fabulous b/w with wonderful textural qualities...hope you stick it in the challenge before leaving.

A well deserved break Tick. Bob will probably love to share the "bench". If two of you keep moving your bodies back and forth you can even move around with it. Nice find and capture!

P.S.You have posted a duplicate of this.

We have 'spoken' of this recently old friend!...You notice my Bum ain't on that seat either!...Busy times indeed..and not a lot of time to do it all in!...We have to enjoy what we love, so I 'Know' we can keep in touch!...

Keep the seat warm and I will bring over a fine bottle of rare malt to while the time away!

Good one for the challenge too

That's one fine looking bench. I don't know about you, but no one ever warned me about how busy being a grandparent can be. They sure keep me running.

Tick I've read your narrative with much interest and came to the conclusion that grandpa's like you and me are probably dealing with the same 'problem'.
I'm that busy now, that I can't understand that I had sufficient time in the past to do my job, lol.

Enjoy your break Owd Fella. That's the only thing that matters now.

Regards, SEA.

Enjoy the break, Tick. It's not easy keeping up with posts here on Caedes and the rest of life; which is way more important and should take precedence. ARRIVEDERCI!

Well, friend - Enjoy rolling around the countryside in your bench mobile, presented beautifully in this b/w. A photo of the ball in the cup from your HIO will be seen soon, I hope. Thad

The bench is beautiful, but there is enough space on it, and you can share it with friends, Ron. Man to sit alone on a bench is sad and boring...

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
