BUSY TEN  DAYS..............

But nothing interesting to write about. 
I'm not exactly sure what all I've done....didn't write it on the calendar this time, but......
`
1.  Cousin's day was on the 17th.  We three met at the Cracker Barrel for an early lunch.  Then not being able to think of anything exciting to do, we went to a couple of thrift stores...Good Will, and another one run by a big church in the area.  I got some cassette tapes with piano music on them....six, in fact.  Two had never had the cellophane off them.  Then, it was such a nice warm day, we went to look at the flower plants for beddings.
 
2.  On Friday, the 18th, I called my daughter-in-law's parents and said I'd like to come for the day. They live about 100 miles away, and talked me in to staying until Sunday afternoon.  I always have a good time with them.   We went to their church on Saturday night, then with some of their church friends, out to supper at Culvers, then over to their daughter's to pick out some hand-made greeting cards.  I LOVE her work.   Back home by dark, on Sunday evening.  (Yeah, WendyBird, I know what you're thinking, but I'll be back in the area soon, and I'll give you a call.)
 
3.  On Monday the 21st, I mowed EVERYWHERE, here, for the first time this year.  Almost 8 hours.  Couldn't breathe that night because of a stuffed up nose, so I got up, took some allergy tablets and used the Asteline spray on my nose, before I could get to sleep.  While I was up, I took a pain pill and muscle relaxer for my arms and shoulders, back to bed and didn't get up the next morning till 9 A.M.

4.  Did NOTHING all morning that day.  In the afternoon, since Lorie will never take anything for those greeting cards, I decided to make some I knew how to make out of six-one-dollar bills, folded as a lady's pretty blouse, with sequins and lace ruffles.  That day and Wednesday, I completed 6.  That will be the last I ever make, I'm sure.  It takes SOOOOO LONG!!!  I'm going to put some new currency INSIDE Lorie's card, and send it to her, when she gets my others finished.

5.  Wednesday afternoon I went to pick up ten pounds of garlic sausage, from the local American Legion.  About 3 times a year, they make it to sell, (like two to three thousand pounds of pork butts, at a time)  so I bought some for the coming-up-Memorial Day Pond Party, brought it home, made patties, so it would be ready to slap on the grill, and put it in the freezer downstairs.  Two days later, I went down there to get out some breakfast cakes I had frozen and when I opened the freezer door, it filled the WHOLE BASEMENT WITH THE SMELL OF GARLIC!!!!  Have I ever told you I live in amongst LOTSAITALIANS!!!??????   And they DO know how to make good garlic sausage!!!    (-;

6.  On Thursday the 24th, I decided I probably should get my hummingbird feeder filled and hung.  It hadn't been out more than 3 or 4 hours, till here comes my first male Ruby Throat.   He visited several more times that day, and I haven't seen one since.  Don't know if he was just passing through, or if I haven't been looking out the kitchen window at the right time.

7.  So, that brings me up to this past weekend.  Missouri Friend Sandy, was in the area, so she came late Saturday night, and stayed till this morning.   We went to church yesterday morning, then out with the usual crowd for lunch at the Cracker Barrel, getting home at about 3 P.M.   This morning, she packed up to go back to Columbia.  Every TIME she comes, I find something she's forgotten.....a blouse, an earring, her medicine holder.......BUT TODAY YOU'D NEVER BELIEVE!!!! 
When she left, I went to the bedroom's end of the house, just to pick up and thrown towels & etc. in the washer.  On her dresser, she'd left a Kleenex, so I started to pick it up and realized it wasn't empty.   NO, NOT WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!!!   I went back into the kitchen and called her on her cell phone. 
Hello.
Hey Sandy, run your tongue over the roof of your mouth.
WHAT!?!?!
Run your tongue over the roof of your mouth.
OH MY GOSH, I'M TURNING AROUND.   I FORGOT MY PARTIAL!!!!
She'd only gotten about a mile and a half away, so she came back, giggling all the way through the garage.

So......If my friend Sandy ever comes to visit you, Look for her teeth when she leaves, or a sock, or a ring, or a toothbrush, or her medicine holder or her??????????????????????????????????????????
