Primate Lesson

So, the kids learned about Primates today in Zoology II today in homeschool. Due to it being the only Christian based text they are using this year, I had to skip reading the religious parts and in their place, we watched various youtube videos teaching about why primates are more intelligent the other animals. There were some really cute monkey videos out there. We discussed how they can walk much like humans, show emotions like humans, share, cooperate, and show that they know when someone is being unfair.
I cannot believe how well our tomato plants are doing. We only have 3 of them this summer and I have picked 4 regular sized tomatoes off of them in the last week. As long as you water the crap outta your plants and grass, you can almost grow anything here in the desert.
Went to get a few groceries at Albertsons today. I came home and got so pissed. The idiot manager who checked me out asked for my member card phone number. I gave it to him. He was like, is the area code 760? I was like, "No, it's 479". He was like "fine, I got it" and I paid and then got home and saw that I had overpaid $13 on my bill because he was too lazy to type in my phone number. I called and was told to bring in my receipt to get it fixed tomorrow.
So, I found a wine that I love called "Turning Leaf" and the type of wine is called Sweet Riesling. It has a sweet fruity wonderful taste without nasty corn syrup. I love coupons and even had a $2 off coupon for the wine. I wouldn't saved $ at the store if that loser hadn't screwed up my bill.
One a last note, I am trying to talk my grandmother into visiting us for a couple of days in December when we return to Eureka, CA. It is the most beautiful place with all the secluded beaches, wonderful ocean views, and amazing redwood forests. I told her that that was all I wanted for Christmas was to have her visit and take a few days off to get out of Arkansas. I think that everyone should see the beauty there at least once in their life. If you haven't been to the Northern California coast in Humboldt County, then you don't know what you're missing! She is always nervous about leaving to do anything without my grandfather, but I know that he would be just fine for a few days and my aunt is really close, along with my cousin, if he needed anything. She has even lived in Southern California before, but has never even been to the ocean before. I couldn't imagine. So, I am trying to get her to take flight here sometime after Dec. 1st, when we are in Eureka. I told her that we could pick her up in San Francisco or Sacramento at the airport. Hopefully she will do it and Christian can plan ahead and take off a few days while she visits. Below are a few pics taken in Eureka, CA. Enjoy!
