Good afternoon, everyone!
I'm waiting for Gary to arrive. He needs to pick something up in Orlando, so he invited himself for some leftover corned beef & cabbage. Goodness knows, we have plenty, so can use the help consuming it.
Karen - Sounds like Scooter is just being Scooter. How old is she now? Glad your roof passed inspection and hope the wind part does as well. We've got to go look for a new insurance company also. We just got the bill and they raised our insurance over $1,400! It's going to cost over $4,000 a year!!!!!! Come Monday Bert will start his quest. I thought he had already started, but now he really has an incentive.
Lee - Loved your jokes. There's a ton of Irish jokes out there and they're all pretty funny. So what are you doing with Tiff today? Whatever it is, have fun!
Dave - No dancing a jig last night, but lots of singing and having fun.
Kathie - Good luck with that 2 hour funeral mass tomorrow. I hope you don't have to stand the whole time. Congrats on getting your tax refund. Wish we were that lucky. Now we have to pay quarterly taxes. My teacher's pension is the only one that can have taxes deducted and apparently no matter how much we increase the deduction, it's not enough.
Bill - So how was the corned beef and cabbage at the pub last night? That was the featured dish at the Grille too and boy, am I glad I didn't order it. It was just way too dark and the corned beef looked more like goulash! Definitely not very appetizing.
Nancy - I have to agree with Kathie in that what your doctors are doing is causing you more pain. Enjoy your race today.
OK, time for my tale of Pat the Putz ... Seems like last night after we got home, I was heading for the family room and got twisted up with the walker and the oxygen life. Of course, I did the only reasonable thing - I fell!! Aside from the fact that my finger was bleeding really badly, I also couldn't get up, even with Bert's help. Made a call to Missy and she and Wesley came over right away. They got me up and then helped to clean up the crime scene. There was a lot of blood on the rug in the family room for them to work on. We really need to rent a rug shampooer to do a better job.
Biggest problem is that it's my right thumb that got cut. Do you have any idea how much you rely on that finger to do things? Take my word for it - a lot! It kept waking me up all night and is hard to hit the space bar on the computer. Like I said, I was a real putz.
Can't wait to go to the Irish whiskey tasting tonight. We'll be with the same people as last night, so you know I am going to have to explain what happened a few times before the tasting is over.
I see Gary just pulled in the driveway, so it's time for me to get off here for now. Have a wonderful Saturday, gang!
