Rose and I hit the pavement at 7:00 a.m. again this morning. At first, when glancing out the window, it appeared to be wet and dreary, but once we actually got outside, it was just fogging, thus giving the false look of drizzle. We had a nice walk this morning. We actually got in a little bit of arm work as well. Mostly from hitting mosquitoes off of each other. I'm sure if people were following us, they might have thought we were engaging in a small battle. During the walk we came across an interesting site. Rose noticed a "shovel" hanging from a tree - and not too far from this tree laden shovel was a pile of dirt and a fair size hole. I being the more curious of the two, ran up to take a closer look at the hole. I can only describe it as follows: Big enough for a small body, and small enough for a large dog. I hope there is not snow tomorrow morning, because I'm anxious to go by this site again and see if the hole is still there, or if it has been replaced by a mound of dirt. Then what........ (This looks like it could turn into a CSI episode)
I'm not sure if mentioned this in my blog or not, but Sunday I lent my car to the daughter - yes the bullet named Mercedes. Trust me, the request was met with much trepidation from me, but as my good friend Rose put it, Ashley has great people skills. (for the record she came home late and complaining that my car didn't drive as well as Dad's- and that certainly solved any future dilemma I have about lending it to her once again). Back to the story. Ashley's "story" was she was meeting with her photographer friend from Spruce Meadows and they wanted to take some shots of my car. Well I visited Dirks website and I came across some great photo's of Ashley, but only one of my car.
Granted it is a great picture.
After the walk this morning, a quick shower and I was out of the house and working on three stores to remove the Father's Day cards. I'm happy to report to all shoppers that there should be no more "seasonal" card change overs until Thanksgiving and Halloween come along. So enjoy the stores.........
Thankfully I finished up just after lunch time and had plenty of time to make my visit with Mom. She was in much better spirits than the previous week. And her mood only got better when I suggested that next week we visit Target!!!!!! Yeah shopping - my favorite NOT. I also tried to convince Mom to get her wheelchair to have at her place. I told her I wanted to take her to Spruce Meadows for an afternoon. That didn't meet with great enthusiasm, but hopefully Mom will follow up on that. I can only make the suggestions..
Bill arrived home from work on time and for a quick bite. He was going to go golfing despite the "dreary" weather outside. Just before he left, he noticed another golf ball on our lawn. I slipped on the flip flops near the door and ran out to retrieve the lonely ball. What a surprise we received.
Now ordinarily this wouldn't be such a big deal. We've all seen Flames balls (the golf type, not the players) being used by the average Joe. The what was written on the other side of the ball was unexpected.
I love a mystery. I'm thinking it might be from an old neighbor at our other place in the Hamptons. Pat worked and still works for the Flames organization. I'll keep you posted if I discover the mystery golfer. (or in this case, someone who is missing a ball!!!!!)
Have another great quote to share: (hopefully I haven't shared it before, but I was too lazy to go back and check.)
"Don't be afraid to go out on a limb, that's where all the fruit is."
Enjoy your Wednesday evening.
