Contrary to Popular Belief, Seniors Like to Play with Stuff..

That's a great cat video! I've already sent the link to my daughters and granddaughters, all of whom have cats.

I like to write. When my two youngest grandkids were about 2 and 4, I visited them and, of course took many pictures of them playing, etc. I decided to put the pictures together to illustrate a story. The 4-year-old had red shoes that she loved, which looked like Dorothy's ruby slippers. So the big plot of my story was about Larkin losing her ruby slippers and how she and her sister hunted all over the house, and they finally turned up in the refrigerator. I printed out the book and gave it to them, and they loved it.

On a later visit, when they were older, I wrote a science-fiction mystery about Max, their cat. I had a couple of pictures of big fat yellow Max playing with a cell phone, where it looks like he is talking on it. So he's supposed to be a space alien calling his home planet. That one came out pretty funny also.

They're teenagers now, and beyond my writing level for stories. But I know they treasure those early books. Writing them was a joy, and definitely qualifies as "playing."

Good topic!
