THE ADVENTURES OF JJ PICKLETOES

There is a lot of pressure being a kid in today’s world.  There is climate change, there is fast fashion,  there is streaking.   . Sometime between those things, I have to read to my brother, and we both have to nap.    . Life at my age is busy.  Life is busy at every age, then…

What a week here at the office.  There is always something going on.  Monday started out nice, and then it snowed,   and snowed,   and snowed some more.  By the time the afternoon came, I had to shovel all the snow off the deck.  It took me a couple of passes across the deck to clear the…

     Did you ever think that you could do it?  . At my young age I didn’t think I could do it.  . Read.  . My brother Joseph and I just received some nice gifts from our good friends in Germany.  It was very thoughtful of them.  There were some nice towels and some…

I am not talking about going on a march.  . Although I did that today,  on the street.  . We walked down the street and then back up.  Or did we walk up the street and then back down?  . I never know how to say that.  Am I down for that, or am I up for that?  Only a Hipster would know for…

He is here now,   living in our house.  He moved in a couple of weeks ago.  . Yes, there he is lying around.  He just lies around all day.  . Mostly all day.  When he does take a break from lying around.  He is eating or getting his diaper changed.  . What a…

Last week both my friend and I were waiting.  We weren’t really sure what we were waiting for but now we both know.  For my friend, her wait was over Sunday night.  My wait wasn’t over until late Friday night.  . Did you notice the title?  You might have to read it again.  . This…

What are we waiting for?  What is all this talk about when it will arrive?  . My friend and I had to turn around and look for it.  We didn’t know what we were looking for, but we thought we should look anyway.  We were just listening to the adults talk.  . Will it be here…

People were wondering when it was going to happen for me.  When was I going to do it?  Well, I finally did it.  . Not a lot, but a little bit,   a few here and a few there.  A little farther every day.  . What has it really got me?  . Just a little glory.  . Not for me, for…

I was using this new tool.  I saw someone else using it.  I saw that he moved it along the wall until it beeped and then he took his pencil out and drew on the wall!  It was just a little pencil mark.  I can make a bigger mark than that with the pencil.  . Can I draw on the…

Last week, you may remember that I just got my custom kitchen and I was on my way to becoming a world famous chef.  I have been practicing cooking and baking in my kitchen several times since then.  I still may become a world class chef but now I have discovered something new.  . I have said it…
