3/10/2013

As many of you know, I try to decorate my condo for different holidays.  St Patrick's Day is HUGE in Savannah, but there's little other than beer mugs, hats & beads in the stores.  I decided to make a pillow - more specifically, a leprechaun pillow.  Add that to my shamrock place mats, fuzzy lamb, and Belleek mug holding fake shamrocks, and it looks a little more Ireland in here.  Now, if only I could find some Butler's Chocolate! 

I took the car in for new brakes on Monday.  The Goodyear Station where I usually have work done is not far from the condo, so I left the VW there and walked back.  Since I'd been up since before 9 am to get the car there, I almost immediately fell asleep on the sofa when I got back.  The next thing I knew, I looked at the LED on the DVR box by my tv, and it said 432!  I thought it was the clock and that I'd slept for hours!  I haven't moved that fast in years!  Not only did I think I'd missed book club, but I also wondered if I'd be able to waddle back to the station before they closed at 5.  Well, not to worry.  What I'd seen was the CHANNEL 432, which was the last I'd watched before turning the tv off.  It was only about noon.  I had plenty of time.  And I joined the book club group without incident, too. 

Lisa & Dave are back in Savannah from Wales.  Thursdays will usually find them at a local pub, The Rail, and it's a tradition that I believe they will continue.  Donna and I went to The Rail, but they didn't show.  Since Donna had someplace she needed to be, we had to leave, and apparently we missed them by only a few minutes.  There was a message on my phone when I walked back into the condo saying that they knew we had been there, and were sorry they missed us.  I was surprised and pleased when I showed up for my Second Sunday Tour at Bonaventure, that they were there!  (and, in an amazing turn of events, I had remembered to set my clocks, so I was there on time).  It was wonderful to see them, and to meet Joan, Dave's Mom, who is a delightful lady.

Allen's birthday is next week.  My little baby will be 42!  That can't be!  I made a pretty good card for him, I think:

Happy Birthday, Al!

 

I have a big week ahead.  Ishy's coming to visit.  I'm going to have to dust and vacuum, and clean my bathrooms.  I don't do this anymore unless someone is coming.  So, I'd better go rest up now.

 

Happy week, everyone.
