Marcy, the humidity was very low with the 77 degree weather, so it was absolutely fantastic outside. Record heat for you, eh? We pretty much have A/C year round over here. I can understand why you are annoyed with what Marty got you at the grocery store. It's OK for him to have dietary restrictions, but not to impose them on you. Your rant is justified. Charlie is very careful with what he eats, but he never makes me eat anything I wouldn't want.

On the how I'm feeling front.? I was doing OK until this morning. I thought I was blocked, but without getting graphic, it turns out I passed a large scab, which once through, opened me up nicely. The doctor said over the next couple weeks, I'll pass them. It doesn't hurt though, which is good. It's just a little frightening to experience. And it also means I'll bleed bit more over the next few days. I hope this starts to wind down, but I've been told to expect this for about 2 months. Yikes.

I got up this morning and drove over to wait for the crab family to come to get my number and time to come back to pick them up. I get there early to ensure I'm always number 1, so I can choose the largest crabs. I'll be heading back in about an hour. The rest of the day will be errands, grocery store, Teavana to get some more Ginger Lemon tea, which we've become addicted to.

 

[marcy]

Rod, glad your doctor lets your know what to expect for the next few months. I am sure it is very scary to deal with. I hope your crabs were wonderful. I wanted to explain Marty wouldn't deliberately get me something to eat that I don't like. He has only been doing our grocery shopping for less than a year now. He's not as picky as I am and the top round said pan fry on it so he thought it would be good for the grill. He will pick up anything I put on the list and I need to remember to be specific. I just said steak. I am tired of what I have been eating and we eat out less now so I feel like I have no variety. I'm going to have to figure out how to make smaller portions of everything and change things up a bit. I picked up some BBQ sauce this afternoon and I'll cook that round steak in the crock pot with that sauce and it will be fine. Marty will also cook me anything I want but since we are eating different things I don't ask him to cook me anything anymore then I just cook myself something easy. Glad you are having such perfect weather.

Hi Kids,

It's a chilly, rainy day here today. Glad I turned off the AC and turned on the heater last night. They had lots of hail in Colorado. I'll be freaking out if we get hail here.

I'm taking off next Tuesday to get the oil in my charge changed. The book says you don't need to change the oil until 1 year or 10,000 miles but I've got 5600 miles and it's been 7 months so I am getting it changed now. I have a coupon for a free 21-point inspection too. Ooh.

Have a fabulous evening.

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Tuesday kids!

Rod, I'm glad to hear things are clearing up, so to speak. And CONGRATS on your big placement -- that's AWESOME!!!

Curby, the first (and only) time I had the oil changed in Billy Ray it was $650. Six Hundred And Fifty Dollars. Oh well, I guess you don't buy a 911 because you are interested in saving money!

The Vegas trip was good, but man, the ladies I went with are SHOPPERS. Were were there two day before I could get them out of a mall and into a casino. Even then I think they played for about 5 mins, LOL. Oh well, as long as everyone was happy. I won $320 playing Spanish 21, $57.50 on a slot machine, and $75 on regular blackjack. I lost about $100 along the way, so I netted around
$350. Better than losing!

Boathouse furniture is being delivered on Friday, and the guy working over there promises all the drywall work and painting will be done. The property manager is also working on the water situation beside the sliding door, so hopefully that will be fixed too. Progress!

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

Dee Jay, I plan on going jewelry swapping shopping after my oil change. I am fairly confident the oil change will cut in to my jewelry money. As you said; we didn't buy a Porsche to save money.
Vegas sounds like a lot of fun for you. Shopping and winning some spending money. Sweet.
Yay for progress at the boathouse. You are getting closer to having it finished.

Had a hectic day at work today. My team had another error - 3 in a month now. So I added another small task to double check this "thing". My passive aggressive employee sends me an email complaining about having to duplicate this task. She said she doesn't understand how come they have to do that now because someone made a mistake and didn't do their job right. I had my original response as "because I said so" but decided to set on it since we had a one on one and I was going to ask her lots of questions steering our conversation towards getting her to admit she makes mistakes. Naturally she went home sick before our meeting - she's wily that way - so I sent her an email thanking her for her input. Then I pointed out I feel there are other tasks we do that duplicate and overlap tasks giving her 2 examples. Then I said "this policy - like all of our processes, policies, check lists and procedures can be eliminated or cut back when I feel they are no longer beneficial to the team". I'll see if she talks to me tomorrow.

My boss informed his direct reports today that this summer we need to train our replacement and cross train across his 3 departments. That's always comforting to hear when we've had layoffs in the last few months. Good luck for him finding someone for me to train as my replacement. Ha!

We had crock pot roast beef for supper. Seems like my quick supper had more dishes than normal but it was quite tasty.

We are having a nice rain storm now with very cool lightning. There was one big bolt I could see through the windows on both sides of the house. Cool!

Have a great evening.
Curby / Marcy

 

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Wednesday kids!

Curby, I would consider it a plus if your problematic employee DIDN'T talk to you, LOL.

Had a closing this morning for one of my favorite clients. He bought his current unit around 10 years ago and just closed on a new awesome townhouse (I would be happy living there!) and we'll put his current loft on the market next week. I am hopeful it will sell quickly because it's a corner unit with high ceilings and good room sizes. Fingers crossed!

I thought my cold was getting better but now my chest is all congested. Ugh.

 

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Thursday kids!

Last night I put aside the hurdle of being sick and cleaned the master bathroom. Do I know how to live or what?! It had reached a point where I was afraid people in haz mat suits were going to come in and put caution tape across the door so it was time!

I slept for a few hours but then woke up coughing around 3:30 so I moved onto the couch to let the CB sleep. I'm ready for this bug to be gone from from my system!

If all goes as planned the boathouse furniture will be delivered tomorrow! I'll call later (if I haven't heard from them by then) to find out what time I'm scheduled for. Hopefully they won't make me the first stop because I have to drive over in the morning and make sure everything is ready (mop the floor, etc.). The plan is to then stay at the local B&B for the night and on Saturday the CB can set the toilet and vanity, and once we have a bathroom then we can stay there going forward! On Sunday we'll head home early because we're doing mother's day brunch at noon at some restaurant out in the 'bubs. God bless big Irish families and their never ending gatherings...

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids,

Strange looks like my post last night isn't here. What I basically said in that one was: I agree it's nice when that employee doesn't talk to me and congratulations on one of your favorite clients closing on a new place. I am sure his corner place will move quickly. I hope your cold gets better.

Since your sick you may as well do a chore like cleaning the bathroom. What a picture I have of the haz mat team coming to condemn the place. I hate those coughing fits when you are sleeping. I will move to one of our recliners but then I get cold. I hope you are feeling better tonight.

That is awesome you might be staying at the boathouse Saturday night. I hope all goes well for you and CB.

I went through one of those Value Paks you get in the mail with coupons and found a $54 synthetic oil change coupon - should i take it with me to the Porsche dealer? I would love to see the look on the guys face when I say "I've got a coupon".

We don't have much going on this weekend. Marty will play golf and I need to get laundry done since he is heading to LA late Sunday. I think one of my cleaning ladies is coming tomorrow but she hasn't answered my text yet.

Have a fabulous weekend.
Curby / Marcy

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids! Happy Saturday.

Dee Jay, I hope you and CB get to spend the night at your new beach house.

My Saturday cleaning lady isn't working out so well this morning. I think she forgot she was to clean today. She was supposed to be here 2 hours ago and she keeps saying she's coming but will be late. It's almost 11 our time. I guess I'll have Marty take me to lunch after golf since it usually takes her 4 hours to clean our place. Phooey.

I had to dial in and do some work last night and this morning. This morning took quite a while since the internal servers were down and I couldn't log in to our applications. Hopefully that is the last update or change for the weekend.

It's sunny and warm here today. Sweet.

Have a great weekend.
Curby / Marcy

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

We had a lovely thunderstorm move through here about an hour ago. We had quarter sized hail but it wasn't plentiful. Glad my car was in the garage.

I have tomorrow off to get my oil changed and do my swap shopping. I am leaning towards a 3 carat bracelet but who knows. I often don't leave with what I planned on buying. If the weather gets bad though I may just head home after I get my oil changed.

Marty is in LA. Poor guy had a very short night and is pretty tired today. He said he isn't planning on taking that late flight again even if it does cost less. I guess if he picks something that isn't the lowest price his travel gets flagged and his boss has to approve it.

Have a great evening.
Curby / Marcy

 

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Tuesday kids!

Curby, let me know how the oil change goes, and make sure you are sitting down when they hand you the bill!

Busy busy few days! Furniture was delivered to the boathouse on Friday. The sofa and chairs are there (although they had to take the sliding glass door apart to get the sofa in... ) but I refused delivery on the coffee table. The finish on it was TERRIBLE. And the place that I ordered it through kept over $300 out of my fund as a "restocking fee." Yeah, I don't fvcking think so. I *talked* to customer service this morning and I think it will all get resolved pretty immediately.

Saturday I got a toilet that flushes! WOO HOO! In theory we could have stayed there that night but we actually came home because we had to go to a mother's day thing on Sunday at noon anyway.

Yesterday I put on a new listings. It was a bit of a challenge because the key the owner gave me opened the unit door but not the deadbolt so I had to call him and ask him to come over. I could tell he was annoyed but when he tried to open the door with the key he gave me he couldn't do it either, so I felt somewhere vindicated.

Today I got up about an hour early... and still only made it to the office about 15 minutes earlier than usual... ?!

I'm hot the trail for a new different coffee table, and I think I've found a mirror for the bathroom. Yet to me determined; I have to go and see it in person.

Progress!

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids,

Dee Jay, the oil change wasn't as bad as I expected; it came to $288. That's okay I made up for it at the jewelry store. So much for sticking to my budget. I ended up with a 4 carat bracelet. It seems so huge right now it looks fake. I know I'll get used to it. They didn't have any larger rubies I liked. They didn't have the yellow sapphire earrings in the store. I looked at that heart / infinity bracelet but didn't like it. Then looked at the two 3 carat bracelets I liked online and did like the 3 carat okay but also tried on the 4 carat and it looked great with my gold bracelet. I came withing $400 with my trade ins to pay for 1/2 of it so that's good. I will let Marty know he picked me a GREAT birthday present.

That is a bunch of crap charging you $300 for a restocking fee when the finish on the piece was terrible. Glad you were able to work it out with customer service. Glad you got most of your furniture and a toilet that flushes. Sweet.

Ha to the client that couldn't get his key to work either.

Have fun shopping for the final pieces to the Boat house.

I slept in 45 minutes today. I made it to the car dealer about 9:30 and left after 11. I headed to Denver then and was there for about 90 minutes too. When I came out there was a big, very dark cloud that I drove through all the way home. Lots of rain and some hail.

After I got to town I ate a late lunch at Olive Garden and now I am just goofing off. We are expecting more of that 4 letter white word on Friday. Joy!

Take care.
Curby

 

[marcy]

Darn Mother Nature

 

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Wednesday kids!

Curby, $288 is a BARGAIN! I paid $650!!! And s...n...o...w... ?! WTF???!!!

The listing I put in yesterday had a showing request already for the evening so the CB drove me up there and then we went to dinner at RH (the Restoration Hardware restaurant, which is in a super cool old building here in Chicago). I wanted to look at some pivot mirrors for the boathouse bathroom and I'm glad I did because the mounting hardware is different on each one, and that wasn't apparent online, so I was able to narrow it down a bit.

Today I have to do some continuing education over lunch and then we've got our Big Brothers / Big Sisters "graduation" and appreciation ceremony late afternoon. I am trying to get some work done but it will be a short day with all those other things taking up time.

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

Dee Jay, yes I think I got a bargain. I was hoping the oil change would be about $350.

Yes, snow. At least it should melt fast this time of year.

That's great you had a showing already for your new listing. Hopefully it moves quickly. Good deal you discovered the mounting hardware varies for the pivot mirrors. Nothing like having to run to the hardware store multiple times to finish a project.

The graduation and appreciate ceremony sounds fun. Do you spend any time with your "kids" during the summer?

Not much new with me. As Snoopy would say "It's a dark and stormy night". We've had a very wet May so far.

Marty won't get back until late tomorrow so I hope he doesn't have bad roads to drive on. He is kind of frazzled with so many meetings all the time; I told him he is out of practice for office life.

I stopped at Perkins for supper. I brought home 1/2 of my sandwich and a piece of apple pie. I guess I wasn't that hungry.

I was texting Marty today and was telling him about my day yesterday so I did inform him "and you bought me a gorgeous diamond bracelet for my birthday" to which he said "where is a picture of this supposed bracelet I bought?" Naturally I sent him a phone tonight with one of his rabbits wearing it.

Have a great evening.
Curby

 

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Thursday kids!

Curby, your bracelet is BEAUTIFUL! Marty done good! And good for you for getting out of the Porsche dealer for *only* $288, LOL.

Last night the CB picked me up, but traffic was HORRIBLE. It has become apparently that if I don't get out of here by 4:30 I have to wait until after 6:00, or just walk home, because that window in between is just bumper to bumper. Now that it's summer and the days are longer I don't mind walking though, I just have to get back in the habit.

Today I have a list of things to do and I SWEAR I am going to get to them!!!

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

Dee Jay, Marty did a great job picking out that bracelet. It's like I bought it for myself or something. I agree that was a great deal leaving the Porsche dealer with only owing them $288. I was skipping all the way to my car.

Phooey the traffic was so horrible last night. I am sure you an walk home more quickly than getting there in bumper-to-bumper traffic. And I'd like to point out it may be summer there but Wyoming didn't get the memo.

How is your list of things to do coming along? I am working on a batch of laundry right now.

I had a strange day. Woke up to several inches of slushy snow and began my day at the dentist. My usual hygienist wasn't there and another one cleaned my teeth and used a darned sonic cleaner / scraper and my mouth has hurt ever since then and I was working myself in to a migraine. Bright lights were bothering me and I started getting that one gray spot in my left eye where I couldn't see so I came home about 3:30. I still don't feel quite normal or right.

Streets were just slushy but our driveway has some serious snow on it and of course it drifts to my side of the garage. Good thing Germans know how to build cars that ignore the snow on the ground.

Marty gets to DIA about 9:30 so hopefully he won't have icy roads to get home on; he can go stay with his sister down there if it's too bad. I guess he is heading back to LA and San Diego next week. He might get some status back this year but of course those short trips don't add up like the ones he did overseas.

I think I'll make some leftover tacos for supper. I am kind of hungry - that could be why I feel strange. I didn't eat much yet today.

Take care.
Curby / Marcy

Hi Kids!

By the time Marty landed last night the highway was listed as no unnecessary travel for about 25 miles south of here so he decided to spend the night at his sister’s house. I was relieved he decided to do that because I’d been checking the webcams on the highway and it looked awful. It was whiteout conditions with definitely snow on the road. He worked from his sister’s house this morning, then they went to the gym and out to supper. He should be here soon. He’ll only be home for a day and a half now. Stupid snow storm.

My car did great in the snow. The deepest snow I went through was our driveway. My boss wasn’t there today but his boss said we could go home early today if we wanted to - I was out of there by 3:30, Ha!

Have a great weekend.
Curby / Marcy

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

I was going to make myself a Marcy McMuffin for breakfast this morning but when I got out of the shower Marty was sound asleep on the couch and I hated to make noise in the kitchen. So I just had some toast. We had some burgers and an apple for lunch then headed to the movies. We went to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It was pretty funny and we enjoyed it. One the way home we picked up some food for supper and tomorrow. Marty is going to meet some friends near Denver tomorrow to play golf before he heads to the airport. The golf course here is still covered in snow so it’s closed.

Have a great Sunday.
Marcy

 

[marcy]

Happy Sunday!

Marty met some buddies to play golf in Denver today before heading to the airport. That was a quick day or so at home. I've been doing house stuff and watching movies all day. I'm bored.

Have a great evening. Tomorrow is back to the salt mines.
Curby / Marcy

 

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Monday kids!

Curby, I just cannot believe you are still dealing with snow... I mean, the weather in Chicago ain't great, but I think we area least done with the white stuff for the year!

What a busy few days! Friday I picked up an alternative coffee table for the boat house at Pier 1 (which was a fraction of the cost and will do just fine thank you very much! I also went to a couple of stone places and picked out a slab for the kitchen. It is going to cost me a boatload (no pun intended) in a relative sense compared to my Chicago kitchen stone because they know they have you over a barrel there int he middle of nowhere, but whatever. I really like it and I'm just going to bend over and write the check. The CB came over that evening and we went to dinner and slept at the boathouse for the first time since the major renovation began. Saturday we took the boat out for a little while, but it was pretty choppy. We did some cleaning up around the boathouse and then came home because we were going to a housewarming that night. Yesterday I did an open house at a listing for two hours and then took a buyer out to see eight houses. Oy. The CB and I went out for a quick pizza when I got home and then I promptly fell asleep on the couch! This morning I got up about an hour early, but once again only managed to get to the office a little earlier than I normally do... ? What's up with that?!

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

Dee Jay, bragging that you don't have any snow there just isn't polite. It's sunny right now. We did have rain most of the afternoon though.

Nice you found a coffee table you like. We've picked up quite a few cool pieces at Pier 1. Marty's man cave has many things from there. Good deal you found a nice hunk of stone for the kitchen. Good one about it costing a "boatload" to get it there but it will be something you enjoy. You did have a busy few days but that's not a bad thing. Very cool you guys went for a boat ride. Fun!

Work was long and boring today. I have to go fill out a profile with my experience, skills, goals, plans, etc. before the 15ht of June. It doesn't look fun at all. I looked at it but decided to avoid it until I have to work on it. I told my boss naming my replacement is a good one since I don't have any one I'd recommend for my spot.

Pretty awful about the explosion in Manchester. Marty's office had a division there. Very sad and scary.

Take care.
Curby

 

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Tuesday kids!

Curby, I've actually gotten a number of things at Pier1 over the years. I know some people turn their noses up at it, but I like some of their stuff! I also found just the PERFECT piece of art for the boathouse kitchen there last weekend! I have an electrical panel that is exposed and I was fretting about what to do with it. My plan for dishes there is to gather a bunch of old fashioned mis-matched dishes (think Early American Grandma) because I think that's fun. Well Pier1 had a pic called Fancy Dinner Plates that is big enough to cover the panel, and I'm going to hang some old fashioned teacups on the wall on hooks so that it will be a little more balanced because the picture will end up rather close to the cabinets. I'm not describing this very well, but trust me, ha ha!

Last night I did a little shopping on the way home and then had left over pizza. I slept OK but not great, and this morning I had every intention of getting up early, but it didn't happen. I have also googled myself into a frenzy thinking there is something medically wrong with me... because ... yanno... I graduated at the top of my class from the Google University Medical School! My doctor's office has the facility to accept emails (with pictures) so I send a message. We'll see what she has to say.

Dee... Step Away From The Keyboard... !!!

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

Dee Jay, I remember you saying you were going to get mismatched dishes for the boat house. I always think those are fun. I think the plate and tea cups for the wall will look really nice. I like it. We picked up old fashioned doorknob on a plaque with coat hangers at Pier 1 - we got 4 of them in different colors and have them hanging in our utility room that we come in to from the garage. Sadly one of them pulled out of the wall the other day but someday when Marty is home for a day or two he can hang it back up again. There really wasn't any wall damage; just the anchors pulled out.

Oh no you have something wrong with you - hopefully your doctor's office was able to help and you are doing better. Googling symptoms tends to make me totally paranoid. By the time I'm done i am certain I have one foot in the grave and the other one on a banana peel. LOL that you graduated at the top of your class from Google University Medical School. I am sure you studied hard for it.

My whiner employees gave me a vacation today. One of them called in sick and the other one went home at noon. What a pleasant afternoon I had at work.

I am COLD tonight and thought of cranking on the fireplace but I put on a sweatshirt instead. Then I got ready for bed and I got toothpaste and cleanser all over the front of my shirt. Glad Marty isn't here - he'd make fun of me. I had that sweatshirt on for 15 minutes and it's filthy.

Have a great Wednesday.
Curby

 

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Wednesday kids!

Curby, I was cold last night too. I actually turned the heated mattress pad on HIGH and was super toasty when I got in bed. The doorknobs are a cute idea! Anthropologie has some old fashioned drawer knobs that I always look at when I go there.

Last night the CB and I went to Costco where I somehow spent $658... ?!? Half of that was for a Dyson cordless vacuum, but I really don't know what the other half was. Something happens to me in that store... !

This morning I awoke to a text that a listing I have on had the deadbolt broken into. The unit is vacant and I really think it was totally random, but my client is convinced there is a conspiracy afoot. Um.... probably not! Anyway, now I've got to go and deal with that. Plus, someone is coming back for a second showing this evening and I am not sure how I'm going to explain this if it isn't fixed by then. Not exactly the sort of thing that inspires confidence in the neighborhood! Real estate, it's always an adventure!

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

Dee Jay, I had my mattress pad preheating when I got in bed too. I does make it toasty warm. I used to like electric blankets but I am enjoying the mattress pad more now that I’m used to it.

Your trip to Costco sounds like ours to Sams Club. I’ve been interested in the one of the Dyson cordless vacuums. Let me know what you think of it.
Holy crap one of your listings had a break in. I hope you got it fixed in time for the showing tonight. The homes under construction around us get broken in to quite a bit and trailers with tools have been stolen. Doesn’t make me comfortable. Yes, your real estate business does sound like an adventure sometimes.

I started my day bending the clasp on my new bracelet. Grr. The little snap you hook after you insert the clasp was very loose when I bought the bracelet so they tightened it and it worked really hard. I was pushing it together and it went “sprong”. I took it off and checked if I could fix it but no luck plus I’d worry I would break it. Guess I’ll be going back to Denver soon. Phooey.

The traffic from LA to San Diego was stop and go for Marty this morning. He got to the office in San Diego about an hour late. We don’t have those problems in Wyoming. I guess his company had more layoffs today some in his overall general area.

I ordered pizza for supper. I like easy cooking like that.

Have a great evening.
Curby

 

[Dee*Jay]

Happy Thursday kids!

Curby, I'm in for another expensive trip to Costco because we charged up the Dyson cordless vac and I used it last night... and I LOVE it! So I'm going to get a second one so I'll have it at both the main house and the boat house. This thing is expensive, but it puts all the other cordless vacs I've ever used To Shame.

Last night I went up and did a showing at the listing that had been broken into. The locksmith did a great job and put metal wrap-around plates on both the bottom lock and the deadbolt and not it's not only more secure, it also covered most of the damage. The CB went with me and on the way home we stopped at a place we'd had dinner once before as part of a birthday party. It was OK, but we won't be going back. Somehow we' built it up much more in our minds!

Today I am Cleaning This House Up. There is stuff Everywhere. Ev.Re.Where. And I've got the first load of laundry in the for the day... but there will be many more...

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

Dee Jay, that is awesome the cordless Dyson vac works so well. I may look in to one.

Good deal the locksmith did such a nice job repairing the lock and making it more secure. Darn that the place you and CB stopped for dinner was only adequate. I hate when that happens.

Marty is on a plane right now and should get home about 11 or 11:30 tonight. He's going back on the 6th for 2 weeks.

I started my day fixing an amusing mistake one of our providers made. I was reading my emails about 7:15 and almost spit out my OJ when I read what happened. I finished my juice and headed for work.

I met a friend for lunch today and it was definitely nice to get out of the office. My employees again demonstrated they will only stay in their seats and do they jobs if I zip tie them to their chairs. Too bad I can't do that. They've set low expectations and constantly rise to those expectations.

Tomorrow is Friday and woo hoo a long weekend.

Curby

 

[marcy]

Hi Kids!

The long, holiday weekend is finally upon us. Sweet.

Dee Jay, i hope you are going to enjoy the weekend at your boat house. That is living, my friend!

Rod, I hope the weather isn't too hot for you. Are you feeling better? I have been wondering how you are doing. I checked the fire map today and it looks like quite a few fires are out there now. I hope so.

We were supposed to leave at 3 today but had to stay late for some last minute changes. I was in my car by 3:21 though so that's not bad.

I need to pick up my house today since the cleaning lady is coming tomorrow. Marty is at the gym. He has tee times all weekend. We are going to meet my sister and BIL for supper on Sunday (maybe).

Have a fabulous weekend.
Curby

 

[marcy]

Hi NIRDIs!

Happy Memorial Day weekend. Hugs and a great big thank you to those who served our country and are no longer with us; also those who had a loved one in the service as well. The cemetery was very busy today. My parents are in the veterans section and someone put little flags by all of their headstones. It looked nice. I picked up some red, white and blue carnations wrapped in a plastic flag to leave on their headstone.

My house is clean. Woo hoo! The cleaning lady wasn’t downstairs very long at all and came upstairs and asked me how many days Marty had been home - I said he was down there all of one day since your sister was here. She was done quickly.

I ran my errands after she got here, stopped somewhere to eat breakfast and got home about 11. Marty’s golf course had some worst ball tournament and all those tournament players were supposed to be on the course by 9:30. It was such a slow way to play that it took Marty and his friends 6 hours to play 18 holes. He was pretty frustrated by it all. We were both starving so we met a Chilis and inhaled some chips and salsa while we waited for our food.

I got towels and sheets washed today plus put out a red tablecloth with red or off white place mats. It was the best I could come up with for Memorial Days colors.

Have a fabulous weekend.
Take care.
Curby
