Flyers

I love Thursday - that is when our flyers are delivered. Usually around 4 in the morning you can hear a car slow down in front of the house and throw out the flyers in the fancy pink plastic bag. I usually get out of bed around 6:30, when my husband delivers me my morning coffee. I then go get the flyers. Well last night around 8:30 I was outside checking out my gardens (my sisters will now roll their eyes at that - go figure they say) and their is that fancy pink bag at the top of the driveway. I run up to get it and, as I normally do, I grab the bag and swing it around in a circle and go towards the house. Well, last night when I swung the bag the bottom came out and flyers went all over the driveway. I'd say it was a little embarrassing but it happened once before so I just started singing as I picked them up -just like I had expected them to scatter.

On a sad note, I want to pass on my condolences to my girlfriend D, on the loss of her neice to a horrible traffic accident. She left behind 2 small boys.

Mothers Day Happy Hour

Mothers day was so relaxing. I planted lots of new seeds and flowers. At around 3 it started to rain so I went into the garage to see what my husband was doing. Typical man, he was getting the lawn mower all cleaned for the new mowing season. I decided at that point in time to call my sister (partner in crime) to inform her that MOTHERS DAY HAPPY HOUR was about to begin. When she arrived I was sat inside the garage door (it was open) with 2 lawn chairs with a crate between them with 2 bottles of wine and some glasses. She giggled at me, then came in and we sat and watched the neighbours and traffic (all 2 cars) and drank our wine. She did say she wasn't coming back to this "bar" as it was to smelly (my husband started the lawn mower and was using all types of lubes and oils on the machine) HAHAHA. Bet she will forget that next year when happy hour starts again.

Funny Comments from the Unexpected

I was at the liquor store today. When I got in line an elderman in front of me was getting checked in. The clerk told him is total was $128. The man said "oh I must get some money out" The cashier said "yes you better do that because your good looks arn't going to get you very far any longer" I couldn't help but laugh. I just couldn't stop. Then it was my turn. My husband put our order on the counter. When the cashier was part way through my husband said he would go on with the box of beer. I said sure but then said to the cashier "I guess I am paying" He looked at me and said "look here Dorothy, you could also haul out your ruby redy slippers and click them together and wish you were back in Kansas" I busted out laughing so loud it was embarrassing. I told the clerk how funny he was. He admited that he had knows the elderly gentleman for a while and knew he could say something. When he had seen me laughing he said he knew he could say something to me also. I laughed the whole way across the parking lot. People were looking at me but I didn't care. The clerk had put me in such a good mood.

Stages of FUNNY

Last evening my husband and myself decided to take a walk down the river on our property. We are on the hunt for flat rocks for a walk way and the river has them. I found 2 beautiful rocks - I carried one back through the mud and trees to our property - on the way my boots both got stuck in the mud. I didn't know what to do - here I am holding a 20lb rock that I didn't want to loose and the only way I could walk was to step out of my boots. Luckily my husband came to my rescue.
My stepdaughters school had a riot yesterday (bad thing in my good block - I KNOW). My stepdaughter called my husband to tell him and he told her to get away from the school right way as there were 30 police cars, ambulence and fire trucks going to the school. He wanted to get her away from the fighting, pepper spray and traffic. (Side note - school was cancelled but buses had to be called and get to the school so it could have taken hours). When we sat around to talk about the days events she started laughing. We looked at her as if to say "what is so funny" She said it was hilarious to watch all these "tough" kids fighting and as soon as the police pulled out the pepper spray the fighters all turned and started running. Like I said - different stages of funny. She found it funny and we were concerned.

Even thought it is misty out today my husband and myself ended up gardening all day. We are always moving rocks and putting in new gardens. Today was no different. We put a rock wall/border up last year. Last year, before the grass grew in, the wall looked lovely but this year with grass now growing around the wall, it looks bad. Today we made the wall straight - my husband has to have ropes out to make sure everything is straight. I have to go around the gardens and get snips of this and snips of that to plant down along the wall. It will all look so nice in a month when everything is in full bloom. It is so nice to go around to all the trees and look at the buds on them. Both my lilac trees are going to bloom this year. I actually just found 2 new one's that I had forgotten I had planted. My tulips are blooming. I love my garden.
