Friday is here

This has been an exhausting week. Q's husband had surgery, and fortunately is doing well. TW dealt with some nasty stormy weather, and while there was damage and some injuries, no fatalities have been reported. Good news for the WTIOC crowd. 

I woke up yesterday morning to Duncan barking his fool head off. He was focused on the living room window.

It turns out a tree split in our front yard. It was actually our neighbors tree, on the property line.

Luckily it did not fall towards the house.

You can imagine how stressed out Duncan was watching the tree demolition take place....

All is good now, the tree is gone.

Our boy Duncan got some much needed rest last night. 😊

Totally phoning it in...

1. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

2. Nothing irks me more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

                          3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest or Google Maps really need to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

  

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

                       12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection... again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

Thank you Amy for the assistance, I appreciate it as always. Rainy day indeed! 😃

Memorial Day Weekend

Thanks to all who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend the United States of America and the freedoms we continue to enjoy. We will always remember.

Let's talk windows!

P, this is probably not what you had in mind, but it is the best I could do. 😃  Turns out a post about installing windows is not that easy! So a little humor is in order...

Have a good day everyone. Thanks to P, GJ, and Mike for the inspiration for this post 😏 

It will be a good day

I hope everyone has an enjoyable week.. with no lost pets, no road rage, and limited nasty weather. We have had our fill of those in recent days.  Here's to calmer days ahead. 

Yes, I know I shared this picture yesterday in the previous post, but I thought it was good enough for a second shot. 😉

This one reminded me of Duncan. 

Is anyone smiling yet?

I know for sure GJ is smiling!

Photos

     I found these pictures while browsing the internet yesterday. I thought everyone would enjoy them.

2) A " knocker-up " waking up  clients. ( early 20th century )

This may be the most kings ever photographed at once.

Belgium, Spain, Great Britain and Denmark.

4) A prohibition era sign, speaking out against liquor. 

5) A beach official measures bathing suits to make sure they are not too short. (1920 )

Seriously?!

6) The LA public library's bookmobile program for the sick. ( 1928 )

7)  Salvador Dali and Coco Chanel sharing a smoke break. ( 1938 )

8) An ice cold whiskey dispenser. ( 1960 )

9) Paul McCarthy takes a mirror selfie. ( 1959 )

10) A young boy attends Martin Luther King Jr.'s  " I have a dream " speech. ( 1963 )

Thursday Thoughts

Actually, I have no specific thoughts about Thursday. I did find a few things that made me smile though. 😃

Have a great weekend everyone!

It's Monday, it's Pun Day

Is anyone in the mood for a few groaners?

Go to Italy, Rome around, and pasta time.

I hate negative numbers and will stop at nothing to avoid them.

Thanks for explaining the word "many" to me, it means a lot.

How do you comfort a grammer fanatic?  There, their, they're.

My grandma told me her joints were getting weak, so I told her to roll them tighter.

I should have been sad when my flashlight's batteries died, but I was delighted.

Happy Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's day. Some people say that every day should be Mother's day, and that certainly could be true. However, most Mom's don't expect that, and it is often difficult to just sit back and enjoy the day. I am certainly guilty of that, I prefer to be the one planning a dinner rather than being the one waited on. However, every year it gets a little easier to relax..😊

This post serves two purposes, I get to wish all of you wonderful ladies a Happy Mother's Day, plus I get to plan a small celebration.  It's a win win situation!

Pretty flowers are always nice.

Of course we have to have a drink to celebrate.

If we only drink champagne we will get tipsy, so treats are needed.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
