Catching up....
Well it's not as if I have been totally out of contact - what with Twitter stuff over there ------>
Memorial Day Weekend...May 30th, however, will always be Remembrance Day to me. Our Town always had a big parade and all of us Scouts would march to the Veterans cemetery. The schools would hold competitions and one boy would recite the Gettysburg Address and one girl would recite In Flanders Fields....I liked Andy Rooney's comment last night ...something about remembering to come up with a different way to deal with conflicts so we never have to sent our young people into battle ever again.
I like our sons and wives and families. This time Morgan and Nora came up to visit for the weekend. We laughed and played and ate...They made Mar-a-lago Turkey burgers which really were quite tasty. We made a Costco run - shrimp, pizza, wine etc. They also got us the Steven Spielberg Boom Blox game for the Wii...yes I have another Wii injury. I don't think one is supposed to actually throw the remote that hard but some of us (coughmecough) have trouble with things like that. " All the baby cows are lost"...snort - poor things will never survive my jenga-like skills.
Sigh one of the cars has a slow leaking tire...hate that - hope it's just a bad fit rather than a blurp in the wheel rim. Seeing as how the snow tire was doing the same thing, I'm suspecting someone but a ding in the rim - damn potholes.
Yes, the woodchip boiler will not be built thanks to the voters who overwhelmingly (this time) defeated the request to continue to use bond money to build it. Next on the agenda...the notion that anyone with an agenda can do anything they darn well please and ask for permits after the fact. It's nice that the snowboard team has carved out a niche for themselves to practice their sport but do the words clear cutting, wetlands and law suits mean anything to you?
Oh my, the Ice Cream truck is going by...ring-a-ding tune of Home on the range. I'm sure those drivers are downright batty by the end of the summer....o/'o/'o/'It's a small world o/'o/'o/'.
Moving right along...my lilies of the valley are blooming as is the rhododendron out front...thank heavens for Hostas too - all these things that need no attention and just grace me with their presence - like the moss. Whew.
It just may be time to be more productive...or something. have a fine day all
