This upcoming Sunday is Mother’s Day. My Momma already picked out a snowball bush from me and it’s been planted for several days now. I’ll be surprised if my son even remembers to wish me a Happy Mother’s Day.
But my non-daughter remembered me!
Katie tells everyone I’m her aunt — but I guess she’d really be my 2nd cousin. I’ve heard, “sister from another mister,” and, “brother from another mother,” but what’s it called when the situation is like mine with Katie?
“Fam from another ma’am,” fits, I guess. 🙂
Now you know: 85% of American RV’s are manufactured in Indiana, and in turn 2/3 of that production takes place in Elkhart County.
The severe weather we were forecasted to get this evening went south of us instead. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have rain off and on today.
Rain creates a big mess when you have big dogs.
It’s not like you can have wee wee pads inside for rainy days like you can with small breeds. Large dogs have to go out — and they bring in some of the outside with them every single time.
Rain creates a great example that shows the uniqueness of my two hounds…
Merida hates water, so her trips are fast, furious, and infrequent. Dharma, on the other hand, goes out, shakes the bushes so water will fall on her back, and lies down on the deck to ensure she’s got plenty of debris to bring inside with her.
Now you know: GPS, despite being free for global use, costs around $2 million a day to operate and maintain. This budget covers satellite launches and system upkeep, funded through American tax revenue.
Sitting at the computer with Perry on the other side of the room, I heard a noise that sounded like an aircraft. I asked Perry if he heard it too — he said he did. It hovered so long I seriously wondered if they were looking for an escapee out here in the woods.
Just when I was about to go outside armed with a pistol, Perry figured it out. It was the washer on spin cycle.
Mark me safe from escaped convicts!
There’s not a single one in sight. 🙂
Now you know: The median retirement account holdings for US workers aged 55 to 64 years old was $185,000 in 2022.
Cooler temps are here for the coming days and I tried to get everything done that I possibly could beforehand. I took ONE photo and it says a whole lot about me.
It shows where I’ve been and where I’m going.
It’s obvious I’ve been mowing. For HOURS, I was mowing. It also shows a deck in bad need of a paint touch up. That’s what’s coming just as soon as the weather cooperates.
What one photo do you have on your phone that’s simple — but shows your past, present and future?
Go ahead and look. We’ll wait. 😉
Now you know: Museums in Vietnam often leave out periods of Chinese rule, which is a large part of its own history (about 1,100 years).
Whenever you have time to kill, you might want to head over to check out Google Trends. Interesting to know what was trending for different periods of time — and it’s even searchable by location.
There’s also a section on dreams.
Data has been compiled by Google from those searching for the topics of their dreams for the past 25-years. I found it odd that some form of “your teeth are falling out” tops the list of searched terms almost every single year. Spiders, snakes, flying… those make sense to me.
Even dreams about a red-winged blackbird haunting a house seems reasonable. (Happy I didn’t dream about it since that would mean someone or something evil is lurking.)
Why do dogs…
Google says the most asked questions about dogs start with the word “why.” Topping that list is licking — hands, feet, legs. Next is all about eating poop, drooling and nibbling. (There’s a page on cats too but I didn’t care enough to click it.)
And finally, just want to share that I’m happy Mr. Pesky only has 2 eyes.
Today it’s back to New Albany with Mr. Pesky. Eye surgery yesterday on his 2nd eye and final check-up today. Pretty happy he only has 2 eyes… I have work to do. 🙂
Now you know: The infamous serial killer, Ted Bundy, once rescued a child from drowning.
