Clotheslined!
On one of many sojourns into the wilds of Alaska, I snapped a picture of my baby sister Mary clowning around. I came across this in a box of old photos I found in the attic.
You all have a good one!
Did you BBQ?
Yesterday, we didn’t barbecue as we normally would have. I didn’t dare run the grill because I knew for sure, with my luck, I’d run out of gas before the food cooked properly. The Curmudgeon forgot to get the bottles filled/exchanged.
We did, however, have some lovely potato salad I made. I also pulled some turkey tenderloin cutlets out of the freezer, thawed them, pounded them flat, breaded and quick seared them in my new non-stick pan. Heavenly. Tender, juicy, and flavorful morsels that made The Curmudgeon quite happy.
How did you celebrate Memorial Day?

Too bad we didn’t get things done before his MS got so bad.
I feel bad for The Curmudgeon on the days where I wish a project could be done around here, when he says he can do it, and I know he can’t. I know I shouldn’t but I tell him all the ways he can’t do it.
Afterwards I know I should kick myself for doing it, but I KNOW how much he can and cannot do.
There is no way he can put up drywall in the kitchen, new lighting, and (fake) tin ceiling. I’d kill to get it done. I have a lovely floor in there and the rest of the kitchen, other than the cabinets, looks a wreck.
The master bedroom still needs drywall on walls and ceiling too. Never going to get done, I need to resign myself to that fact.
It is depressing to say the least…However, I will do what I can do and to heck with what I can’t.
You all have a good one.
I wish my kitchen looked like this, mine has paneling and it sucks. If I could get the kitchen and bedroom this far, I can paint!!!
Stranger Spring than last year’s.
My new mouse. The only Ferrari I’ll ever own. LOL!
Yes, I know I’m weird but you must have fun where you can get it.
I can’t believe how chilly it got yesterday. I wore my hoodie to take the dogs out and they weren’t eager to stay outside for long. Nope, they wanted to snuggle with me on the couch. It makes me glad I haven’t planted anything yet. Here I was worrying about that, not anymore!
At least the cool air had The Curmudgeon feeling fairly chipper, for him that is, his chipper is someone else’s not so good.
Time for me to go snuggle with the pups again. You all have a good one!
I will be weeding forever…
This is before almost killing myself…
This is part of the after…And I still have tons to do!
Any volunteers? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
You all have a good one!
Goliath has returned!
I am enjoying the new look on my blog. Several people have told me that they like it too.
I have two frogs in my pond. Yes, the pond is still there since we haven’t a clue as to how we’re going to fill it in yet.
I was outside talking to my next door neighbor when he told me he heard my frog earlier. I told him I accidentally discovered that I have two frogs.
I thought we only had the one until I was pulling aggressively growing mint from the little river between the waterfall and the pond. I startled a familiar looking large bullfrog, and he was not the one I knew we had who I could see sitting on a nearby rock.
I am enjoying the frog songs.
You all have a good one!

New look!
I felt the page needed a change. I hope you enjoy the fresh paint.
Oklahoma needs plenty of good vibes from us all. Light a candle, say a prayer, do whatever you do to send them.
The people there need kindness now. I’m sure there are many clothing drives and other things we can donate to, to help out.
Skip your expensive coffees this week and send what you’d spend to the Red Cross, ear marked for Oklahoma tornado victims. Every little bit helps.
Or you could donate your coffee money to the animal rescues who are trying to reunite victims with their beloved pets.
Be kind, be generous, do for them as you would want done for you in a similar situation. Remember, it could have been you.
You all have a good one.

That’s a wrap!
Had a good time with Annie at the Holistic Expo and came home with a gorgeous silver and amber ring, and a lovely amethyst geode.
When we left there, we were starved since we hadn’t had any lunch. We headed to one place nearby that always has good food at a great prices but they were closed. Dang, I forgot they weren’t open on a Sunday.
Decided to make a mall run then since we knew all the restaurants out there were open and I had promised her a decent lunch. Albeit a late one.
Found some new flip-flops on sale…silly ones, with pink flamingos on the straps. Skelemingos would’ve been more fun but they’d never have that.
You all have a good one!

Didn’t win the lottery so I have other things to do…
Years ago, I attended a Spiritual Holistic Expo here and planned to go again the following year but dates were changed and it has coincided with my Pennwriters conference ever since.
Tomorrow I am going. Since I’m not at the conference I might as well enjoy the Expo. Plus, in the same building, at the same time, the Innovative Beads Expo is going on. Wow, a twofer!
The Curmudgeon is encouraging me to go because he knows how unhappy I have been about missing the conference.
You all have a good one.

Play it or not?
Powerball is up to a record high. Do I buy tickets or not? I think I will, no sense at all in not giving it a shot. I never go crazy on buying the tickets–unlike buying tickets at the PW conference for baskets.
What would I do with all that money?
First, I’d buy a house that I liked near water ( a lake, a beach, or next to a good fishing river) not his parents old house.
Then, I’d hire someone to take excellent care of The Curmudgeon and the pups for a month while I go on a vacation to some luxury spa on a beach.
I would take care of my friends and my cousins.
I’d hire a trainer and get myself totally fit and healthy.
I’d set up a fund for BTs needing rescue and care.
I can dream can’t I?
You all have a good one!

Missing Pennwriters
If this were a normal year, I would’ve arrived in Pittsburgh yesterday and be enjoying the company of my many Pennwriters friends at the Pennwriters conference.
This is not a normal year. The Curmudgeon has had seizures and because of that I stayed home this year. I feared being clear across the state with no one here to check on him.
I got rather snarky with the MS society recently. I think it’s good I did. I am beginning to get some help that I wasn’t getting before. I should have done it sooner. If I had, I would probably be at the conference enjoying my four-day working vacation.
To all of you people attending the conference this year. I desperately wish I was there. I REALLY NEED A VACATION!! And most of all, I miss everyone!!!
You all have a good one!
