Yep, that’s right…I took this photo because my shoeprint looked like the imprint of a giant peanut. Or at least, I thought so. And things like that really tickle me. A lot. Kind of silly, I reckon. Perhaps you’re thinking how dull my life must be to be thrilled by a peanut-shaped footprint. Or maybe you think I’m just a nut. Or a goober. That’s O.K., I don’t mind.
I like that even at the age of fifty, I’m easily awed and have a great capacity for wonder because it means I have something wondrous in my life every single day, even if it’s just a footprint that looks like a peanut.
Besides, I really like imagining that very soon, I will look at my blog stats and see that someone has Googled “footprint shaped like a peanut,” and it brought them right to my site. And they are thrilled to find exactly what they were looking for—the footprint of a goober in the mud.

You nut!

Well all I can say is – sometimes you feel like a nut…sometimes you don’t! Sorry. Couldn’t help myself.

I’m going to Google that right now!
What a nutty post…and funny one.

Hey, you came up first in the Google search. Of course you knew you would…

Haha, you are the biggest goober I know.
Except for, of course, me. But I thought the same thing before I even read the post. Great minds think alike!
I love how Wesley tested it out in Google. That’s hilarious.

Thanks for the smile. I keep my eyes peeled too. First I saw the world through my eyes, then my kids, and now my camera and blog.

Pure brilliance…

Benjamin, you’re a dork.
Is that like Raisins in the Sun or something?

Ariel (aka luckypennies),
Stop calling your brother a dork. Right now. Don’t make me come up there, young lady!
