F is for...


... fish. Otherwise known as "Nana can't say no!"
So I had my middle two grandsons with me and we had to stop at Petsmart to buy some dog food. I really tried every argument I could think of but the protests just seemed to get weaker and weaker in the face of those two little faces looking at me so forlornly. Please Nana.... I'm sunk!
So the little beta is named Sarah and the two goldfish are Little & Lucky. Don't ask me why.
And they both reside at Nana's house for the boys to visit with when they come to see me. I must say I did get some kisses out of the deal so I'm ok with the loss of counterspace and stinky fish water. And hey at least they didn't want any of the snakes, mices, rats or birds!!

E is for...


...Easter Eggs - that weren't.
Unbelievable the 2 weeks before Easter were so hectic. It was like everything that needed to be done over the 6 months ended up being crammed into these 2 weeks. And mu husband was away on business so no help. But still he was coming home Friday so we still planned to make the homemade sausage and Easter Bread and the hardboiled and dyed eggs. Then flight delays, unexpected company, an unmissable B-day party for a friend, and the butcher didn't have the meat for the sausage. We made reservations!! Easter brunch was lovely, delicious and relaxing. So there are my unboiled, undyed Easter Eggs all ready for an quiche!

D is for...


... damage. I thought of so many "d's" but none were especially meaningful and I wanted my choices for this ABC-along to be meaningful so I procrastinated. And procrastinated, and procrastinated somemore. Then the other day I got lazy and decided to park in my office building instead of the lot I usually park in. It's an old building and the parking garage has many odd angles and concrete poles to manuver around. And as you can see I didn't navigate so well. I got jammed up against the corner of a wall. My beautiful truck that is 8 years old, perfectly maintained, without a single scratch... a thing of the past. What a way to get a meaningful "D".
