Power Up (284/365)

"It's-a me, Mario!"

Mario, Super Mario Brothers, Nintendo video game

TIME:  5:24 PM
PLACE:  Backyard
SUBJECT:  Mario & mushroom

The kiddos were off school for Columbus Day today - the last of their 4-day weekend.  And what else did today bring?  A case of the gout for the ol’ HandsomeHusband…he says it is very painful…poor guy; and the purchase of a new lawnmower as our old one bit the dust and the grass doesn’t stop growing.  Before MonkeyBoy cut the backyard, I found this mushroom and decided that StellaDella’s Mario figurine would be perfect to photograph with it.

"Thank you Mario, but our Princess is in another castle."

Mushroom Retainer, Super Mario Bros., Nintendo, 1986

TIME:  10:57 PM
PLACE:  Kitchen table
SUBJECT:  Rentals to be returned

We rented these games and movies last week and they were due tonight by midnight.  I ended up going out and returning them at 11:00pm so we wouldn't be charged a late fee.  Before I did that, I took a picture because I didn't have a photo for today.  Sorry for the borrrrring picture...I'll do better tomorrow!
