New post...

Well… it’s been a week or so since the last blog, and not much has really happened. We went to Top Foods and saw a cat on the conveyer belt. As we stood in line we heard the checker holding up a cat, showing it to his co-workers and really making over it. Pat said she saw the cat on the conveyer belt of the checkout counter. I really didn’t what him handling my groceries, so we moved to the next line. The clerk was still making over the cat as the shoppers stacked up in line.

Pat has been hard at it, working in the yard. Planting, weeding, raking, cleaning up and planning.; planning on what to buy next, where to put it. I helped her when I got home from work by holding open the garbage bad so she could put in the weeds she pulled earlier. I had previously filled the yard waste container with grass. She got to use what is probably her most favorite tool, the telescoping rake. She just loves that crazy thing. Not only does the handle telescope in and out, or up and down, she can adjust the width of the span of the tines. They can be set for a full span like any rake, or reduced to span only a few inches. Normally helping her is not dangerous. But while I was holding the bag open for her, she kept swinging around with the rake at port arms and whacking me across the face. I had to stay alert!!

Saturday was a gorgeous day so we fired up the barbie for the first time this year… hamburgers. The next day we followed it up with my personal favorite, HOT DOGS. Yum-yum!! Pat is so thoughtful- she bought two kinds of dogs, reduced fat and reduced sodium (Dr. told me to cut down on salt). Unfortunately, the buns were too big for the dogs. So since I had to use two dogs per bun, I split the difference and had one reduced fat dog and one reduced sodium dog. Of course there were lots and lots of onions. Yum-yummy!

I’m growing my beard back… a good beard can hide a multitude of past sins.
