Bright Ideas.

Why do lemons get such a bad rap? I love lemons and their perfect yellow. Is there a better representation of yellow in all of nature? Maybe a flower or how about the sun itself? The sun really doesn't count because the sun is, well, the sun. Plus, you can't even gaze upon it and savor it's yellowness because, well, it's the sun. Lemons are so super scrumptious too, and what gives a fresher smell than lemons?

So why do we say, when life gives you lemons...or call a crappy car a lemon? It just seems unfair. Lemons must not have had very good historical representation. There are so many great things you can do with a lemon. Juices and cakes and cookies and tarts, cleaning solutions, other good smelling fresh things. What would grilled seafood be without a squeeze of lemon? Right, just grilled seafood.

Believe it or not, the lemon Girl Scout cookie has replaced the thin mint as my favorite. If I can find time later today, I am going to put on a song I love, Bright as Yellow by Innocence Mission and use up some of my lemon juice to make some yummy Lemon bars! I like it when I can blend two things I love so nicely.

Look at this bright idea. My boy is one freaky little dude when it comes to innovative ways to use Scotch tape.
Staples too for that matter, remember this one? I was entirely surprised and amazed when I walked in on this. Maybe he is meant to be some big adhesive guru in the future, maybe he will someday invent some super adhesive that no one has ever thought of! At least I will always know how to entertain him, just hand him a stapler and a roll of tape and let him do his business!
