One day, I was visiting my sister and doing some sewing for her. Suddenly the dogs were all over me. I was screeching in fear and the dogs were yelping and barking and running around me. My sister had told me that my screeching made the dogs think I was playing and made them excited, so I tried to remain calm even though I was frighetened. But, not this time. My sister came flying down the stairs, cursing and demanding to know what I was "doing" to her dogs. Then she started laughing as she saw the tape measure I was carrying. She said they thought we were going for a walk and I had brought a leash. From then on, if I came down the stairs with a tape measure, I stuffed it under my shirt.
Today, I managed unload stuff from the front seat of the car. Well, someone came and took things I had put things in there.
The font color changes all on its own! ugh
Thursday, friend had just come from lunch with a friend, celebrating with an St. Patrick's Day meal of corned beef and cabbage. She asked if I wanted her leftovers. I took them, a to-go box with corned beef, cabbage, three tiny new potatoes, and a corn muffin. I left most of the meat and muffin until later. So, that was late lunch/early dinner for me.
It may seem yucky to eat a friend's leftovers. Whatever. Would you? The beef, muffin, and potatoes are fine. Only the cabbage off her plate might be seen as disgusting. Would eat it?
Each day, I do just a bit more in the yard, maybe five minutes worth. It is not much, but it is all I can do.
I showed her my "garden," a collection of buckets and containers. She has a full-sized tractors with all the equipment to do a real garden and lots of land. She crawls along planting, something I could never do. She is saving the garlic and onions I gave her to plant later. The tulips I gave her, two bulbs, are already in the ground.
She lives in the country and has neighbors with huge commercial farms and gets lots of produce. Lucky her.
I had to search to find Thin Mints. Now, I am off to get them. Okay, I got the Thin Mints and ate the whole box.
In Publix I found a treat. They were giving away samples of pie for Pi day.
It is not too cold and sunny today. I found someone to mow my yard! I count this as a good day, if not productive. Hopefully, he will come soon.
Your turn
Did you observe Pi day? Would you eat your friend's leftovers? Do your dogs or friend's dogs misunderstand things? Give me a good dog story.
