My son simply had to have a Nintendo Switch the very exact second they were available. He talked me into going to Wal-mart — YES, Wal-mart at midnight. I’ve said it before… I would rather take a stick in the eye than go there. Still, there I was… in line…
There were people behind us that waited a very long time to be disappointed. We did the snoopy dance all the way to the car and didn’t see one person wearing pajamas.
A bad storm passed through Seymour and left around 8k people without electricity. Guess who was one of the EIGHT THOUSAND? Yes. Me.
Never thought a generator would make me so happy. There was no damage to the dwelling. With a gas fireplace I wasn’t cold. And with a generator, we had hot running water, a light, and charged phones. Lots to smile about!
The bad news is that after almost 24 hours of no power — and the purchase of a generator — we figure with the cost rounded out to about $100 a toilet flush. The electric was back on about 3 hours after we got the thing up and running. (No, I don’t have some fancy electric toilet — I have 2 well pumps that need power.)
Standing guard at the entrance to the fortress, Gracie mean mugs for the camera…
It’s been a minute since Dad passed away — and lots more time has passed since he was a butcher in a grocery store. When I run across these kinds of photos, they make my heart happy.
The running joke is that my Mom & Carl are spending my inheritance. Their latest purchase — a brand new Mini convertible — is more attractive than Mom’s collection of rolling pins. Things are looking up!
In all seriousness — seeing them happy makes me smile…
