Welcome to the Ann Tucker Blog!

Welcome to my personal blog. Thanks to my son for building this neat blog page. I decided I wanted to give my thoughts and words to the world and hope they have some meaning and memories to grandparents (and others) everywhere. I am a retired civil servant (35.5 years with the Department of the Air Force), mother of two and grandmother of five. My maiden name was Scaling and I was married to Tilford N. Tucker. I raised and put two great children through college so I have a lot of experiences to build on. After retirement I became a webmaster (working for my son) for some of our family websites: ShaggyDuck
Have a fun time and a great day, bookmark this site and come back often!!!!

Are Your Kids Bored Already??


More Works-For-Me Wednesday tips

Are your children already proclaiming they are BORED?
Did you know 60% of nursing home residents have no visitors at all? A
weekly visit from someone could help these folks have a much more satisfying life.

We have a place called Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse, it is a hands-on arts and sciences museum located in downtown Enid. It was started by Astronaut Owen K Garriott's mother and the Garriott family. They have 7 weeks of summer camp with themes like Modern World Wonders, Middle Age Wonders, Ancient Wonders, Original Wonders, Universe Wonders, Underwater wonders and Natural Wonders. My grandson is going to this. Learn while you play at Adventure Quest, the outdoor science park that's also one of the largest playgrounds of its kind in the world!


See if your town has a museum with classes or camp. Check with your local Library for classes.

You might try lessons like horseback riding, swimming, dance, tennis, golf, Scouts, skating, Community theatre, Tae Kwon Do, Cheer, Twirling, Gymnastics, etc.

The Discovery Warehouse sounds very cool and a great place to spend some time this summer.

I really like your suggestion of visiting a nursing home. Not only is it great for the patients but it teaches the children about caring for the elderly.
