Lots of early birds around here this morning! Glad to see so many up and going this early. I could have used the OGCs this morning. One of our smoke detectors decided it wants the battery changed. Is there an unwritten law that they have to start BEEPING in the middle of the night? Sure seems that way. I've been listening to the *BEEP* since 4:30 this morning! Bert just woke up, so it will be at least another hour before he changes the battery. I'm getting a royal headache listening to this %#@&% thing!!
Kathie - That picture of the car on that rock is really something else.. You have to wonder how a person would be able to do that. Your other pictures were great too. So did you finish the book? Nice that you and Art were able to check out his nephew's dive bar. Those are the best kind. We were just talking yesterday about how right now we have no place to go if you just want a snack and a drink. With the Grille closed, there's no other place locally to be found. Plus we still have to wait about 3-4 weeks before True Blue Winery opens again.
Karen - When do you head off for your retreat. I hope you find it meaningful and inspiring.
Dave - Back when we could get ice cream in a block, that was especially great if you wanted vanilla, chocolate and strawberry between 2 hot waffles. That was always a favorite of ours, until the ice cream container changed. Now it's much harder to fix one of them the right way.
Lee - I too like to watch lightening, but from a very safe distance and inside. We had a "show" one night last week where it was practically one continuous flash of lightening. Everyone was talking about it for days.
Bill - Enjoy your day wandering around on the ship while most people are off the ship. So where did you end up going for breakfast? Curious minds need to know!
We have a neighbor near us who has a sailboat. Now that the lake is back to correct levels, boats are back in the water. This guy has spent the last hour starting to get his sails unfurled and ready to go up. He spend more time and energy doing this. Once the said are up, he will take the boat out for a bit. Then he's take the sails down and come back using the trolling motor. What a waste of time, if you ask me. This would be fin to watch if the guy was younger and in better shape! I'll leave it at that!!
Got a bit of running around to do early today. Then the gang will be here for dinner. We have about a 4 lb piece of salmon to bake. I need to fix some lemon butter to put on it as well as make alfredo sauce for the fettuccine. Sounds like a lot of work, but it really isn't. Just looks that way. I wanted to make something special. Jimmy's sister will be here too. She's had a rough life involving drugs and spending time in jail, After all these years, she finally has her life straightened out and doing what she needs to do to clear her record. That's why she's here right now. We are all so proud of her for doing what has to be one of the hardest thngs you could do.
Now I need to go find a gun! I'm ready to shoot that %#@&% smoke detector!!!!!
Have a great day, everyone.
It even has a tiny corner phone booth with a bi-fold glass door. He's going to get it restored as soon as he finds a phone for the corner.
