With all my heart, all my soul, and all that is me, I promise I will never forget you my baby sister Mary.  RIP 11/7/1957-4/13/2001

Gavin here.  Daddy was snacking on nanner chips again.  Patty and I tried to mooch some.  The Curmudgeon finally gave in and gave us some!  Yay!

Too tired to write tonight…

     We’re so tired after running around our yard that we won’t even give Mommy any room to sit. 

     A rare occasion when both of them are on the couch together.  🙂

     You all have a good one!

A quick funny for you today.

                                A Fairy Tale for the Assertive Woman

     Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful princess happened upon a frog, as she sat contemplating ecological issues, on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.

      The frog hopped into the Princess’ lap and said, “Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome Prince until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back Into the dapper, handsome, charming, young Prince that I was and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in yon castle with my mother. There, you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so.

      That night, on a repast of lightly sautéed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself and thought, “I don’t fucking think so.”

You know we all have some days that are pure crap.  However, once in a while, along comes a day where you feel like you are farting rainbows.  Where every miserable thing that’s gone before feels distant and blurred.

That was my yesterday.  Little things went right all day.  In this house that is not normal.

The dogs stayed out of trouble.  The Curmudgeon’s mood lightened.  The sun came out to play all day.

Then the package arrived.  Addressed to Gloria’s Cousin.  That would be me at this address.  Inside, I found a ring I’ve coveted for at least two years.  I’ve entered each contest put on by Bella Morta Jewelry to win it.  Seems that someone who knows my cousin made sure I got it.  😀  Color me delighted.

You all have a good one today because I sure had one yesterday!!

the ring!!!

Enough tears of my own

     If you see or receive something in your e-mail that makes you cry, please don’t send it on to me.  I have enough to cry over on a daily basis.

     Please do not send me pictures of abused animals and ask me to donate money to your cause.  I won’t look past the picture and will delete it immediately.

     Do not send me prayers and other religious things, I probably do not share your beliefs.  Do not send me any chain letters or other such crap.  You waste my time and yours.

     Do send me news of your accomplishments, your family, and your pets antics.  I am glad to hear and receive real news of you at any time.

      You all have a good one!

There will be no 2013 Pennwriters conference for me.

To all my Pennwriters friends… I will not be attending the Pennwriters conference this year.

The Curmudgeon’s tests have shown that he is having some seizure activity and he is not allowed to drive for a while. I do not feel as though I can go that far away from home for that long now.

Just think, I won’t be there to win baskets this year. However, this also means I won’t be there to donate my usual number of them either. I will miss you all very much. Please snag extra handouts, take copious notes, and send me copies!!!

I am crushed, heartbroken, devastated, and I will miss you all very much.

I wish I’d said…

     How many times has that gone through your head?  Had a fight with someone and an hour later a brilliant riposte comes to mind…dang it… too little, too late. 

     Thinking of my baby sister and things I wish I’d said to her before she died.  Too late now.

     Telling my mother I loved her once again…wasn’t allowed to talk to her so that would be too late again.

     Thanking a dear friend for being my friend…he’s gone now…too late.

     Yes, there are many things I wish I’d said that I can’t say now…

     Here’s one I can say to a certain few people…even though you do not deserve it…  I forgive you.

      You all have a good one and be kind to each other.

Shawnee Tom the Piper’s Son

     I am not a collector of tea pots although I have three now.  2 of which I love and plan to keep forever because they came from my parents.  I have very little from them.

     Then there’s #3…it was my MIL’s…she was never nice to me and I have no desire to hang onto it and the S&P shakers that go with it.  Yes, they are for sale!!!!   $160.00  OBO!

Not a good day.

     I woke VERY early to The Curmudgeon yelling.  I leapt out of bed and dashed downstairs to find him flat on the floor and unable to pull himself up into his chair.  I cannot lift him when he’s like this because he’s dead weight.

     I dialed the neighbor’s number, handed the phone to The Curmudgeon, and ran back upstairs to get dressed.  A minute or two after returning downstairs, the neighbor was here to help.

     Our neighbor lifted The Curmudgeon into his chair after a couple attempts.  The rest of the day The Curmudgeon spent recovering.  After a long nap and by dinnertime he was doing better.

     I don’t know what I’d do without our neighbors.

     You all have a good one!

More pictures? Well….

     I am so tired that I really don’t have the brain function to sit here and write a long and involved blog post.

     I don’t think I’m coming down with something I think I am merely suffering from being awakened every day this week by Mr. Gavin screaming for his breakfast.  Not enough sleep makes the brain go into shut down mode.

     You all have a good one!

But Daddy, I want up there too!!!
