the three day weekend

oh thank God we have one I love when holidays fall correctly...in fact can we just change the dates on all holidays so they always coincide with a weekend?

well I hate to see the moving truck in the driveway

next door is a rental property and for the past year we have been fortunate to have friendly, quiet, well mannered neighbors who most importantly have a son just a few years younger than C. They were fast & furious friends and playmates we will be sad to see them leave. And sit in fear of the next family that might move in....ya never know with rentals!

no worries I'd facebook funeral arrangements

a friend was over last night and was mentioning an odd text he got last weekend from a number he did not recognized that "David had passed away funeral arrangements and the Obituarie was going to be in Saturday's paper"...I saw the text and yes obituary was spelled wrong & everything but the disturbing part for S was David who?! He called a mutual friend to make sure it was not my David and figured he would watch for Saturday's paper. Who on earth would send out such a text without at the very least giving out a full name, David is a fairly common name more than likely a person might know more than 1 and for that matter who the hell would send that information out in a text?! clearly social media would be a better place for that sort of info!

the spices are rocking & rolling and the cucumber bush appears to have sprouted!!! Tomato & pepper plants still alive and looking better every day!

unfortunate edit

my phone while smart has a smaller screen and emails that come through have a condensed subject field.
Earth Fare-the healthy supermarket is edited down to the
healthy superm
which I always read as healthy sperm
and I generally think of that as an email I would not want to open

step one spices planted: oregano, basil, chives, parsely and more oregano for good measure

does anyone ever win those things?

you know sweepstakes, contests those online survey things claiming you can win a year worth of groceries? I never do and I have no idea why I bother still trying, hope springs eternal I suppose
