Randomness by Ann

Tuesday, July 30, 2013

I've seen the idea on Pinterest for a Christmas gift for neighbors or hostesses of paper plates, napkins and cups all stacked together and wrapped in clear cellophane and tied with a ribbon at the top. There is a poem to go with the gift attached to the ribbon.

I thought this would also be a neat idea for a housewarming gift, but I decided to write a new poem to go along with it:

To celebrate your new home

We want to lighten the load

Of unpacking and cleaning

With a poem and this greeting:

Fewer dishes to locate

From in boxes and crates,

Fewer dishes to do --

Are our "Best Wishes" to you.

(Poem written by Ann M. McClenathan)

Games Designed by Kaleb

My son Kaleb is a budding software developer - specifically of games! Here are his first two games, posted at Kongregate.com. These are free online games; try them out!

The Everythin' Quiz! - This game has quiz questions about random topics. Some of the questions and answers are humorous.

Rocket Flight - Still in development, this game allows you to guide a rocket through a maze to collect yellow stars. After the first level, things get a bit more complicated as there are red stars you can't run into or you start over and other interesting obstacles. Kaleb and his friend Yegor both helped make this game.

Please support Kaleb in his efforts by trying out his free games! If you like a game, consider adding a good rating. If you have any suggestions for improvements, a comments section is available beside each game on the Kongregate website. (Good work, Kaleb!)
