THATS ALL SHE WROTE FOLKS

Well folks I am thinking of shutting this blog down.  My life has become so mundane and boring...which is okay with me.  I love sitting in my chair in a nice clean quiet house contemplating my navel.  But this lifestyle isn't conducive to interesting blog posts.  And the only thing worse than not writing at all is writing boring mundane posts.  You all don't want to read that stuff.

This blog has become a kind of play by play of my daily routine and I never intended for that to happen.  It isn't a diary.  And truthfully?  I am scared of hurting people's feelings or stepping on toes.  I would never ever want to do that unintentionally.  But I think I will finish out this month.  I will really miss writing here.  You guys have been a great support group, especially when Spod was dying and my trials and errors with Monte Man.  And when I was sick. :(

Anyway, I bought a humungous bunch of flowers from Costco about a week ago.  I brought them home and lay them in the sink and filled it with water.  I then set about looking for the giant cut glass vase a lovely couple gave us as a wedding gift many years ago.  I found it.  It was on a shelf on the farthest possible corner of the deck.  And between me and there was a four foot high mound of snow.  I simply don't have boots that high.  So I went to bed.

The next day I noticed that it had really warmed up and everything was melting.  So..I decided to just wait a day or two.  The flowers were fine in the sink .....  for now.  But over the next few days I noticed that the snow shrank but not downwards only on the edges...but of course not leaving enough space to walk on.

Finally enough was enough.  The flowers had been in the sink for days and days by now.  So yesterday morning I pulled on my gums and out I went, fully expecting to be wearing packed snow around my feet.  I planted my right foot on top of that high pile of snow, hoisted myself up and....I didn't sink!  The snow was as hard as ice!  So now I was teetering on top of the icy snow pack, four feet in the air like freaking billy goat!  So I cautiously slid my way over close enough to pick up that thirty pound vase.  I set it on the snow pack and bit by bit walked it over to the door.  Such an ordeal.  But I didn't fall for once.

Shortly after buying those flowers, there was a ring at the door.  Upon answering there was a lady holding out a purple vase of the most beautiful fresh, really fresh, purple flowers. They were from Spod!!!  (thank you April)  If I had known that these beautiful exquisite beauties were coming I would never have bought the others.  But I put that arrangement in the living room and the Spod ones are sitting right in front of me here where I can see them all day long.  What a lovely gift.  I love them.

Well gotta bounce.  Having lunch with Dana today and her mum.  I LOVE having lunch with them!  TTYL
