The easy answer is dust bunnies, but let’s actually take a look. I’ve been known to use the space under our bed for storage so there’s no telling what we’ll find.
.
.
As of today, there are two things. A box of extra dishes….
Because #1 – you can never have too many dishes. And #2 – when the current pattern you’re using hits the sale rack, you stock up.
.
.
The other item crammed under our bed is a turntable used to convert vinyl into MP3 files. The husband bought it for my birthday a while back because I have a massive album collection. He also bought me the iPod that holds 35,000 plus songs…. so I spent countless hours ( read days, weeks, months ) playing and converting the obscure music of my youth.
There’s nothing I like more than having friends over for dinner and drinks and games.
That hasn’t happened for quite some time, because, ya know…. global plague. But it hasn’t stopped me from finding fun things in anticipation of normalcy’s return.
While I’ve been known to enjoy some oddly flavored beer …
.
.
That’s a hearty no from me. Pretzels belong in a bowl on the bar… to make you thirsty for more beer… not in the bottle you’re drinking. Blech!
For the first time in over a year, I lost a game of Scrabble to my husband. But in my defense?
.
.
Even Noah Webster would have a hard time with those letters.

We had a nice rain storm pass through recently so the husband and I took to the barn porch with adult beverages. He was interested to see if his leaky gutter repair worked ( it did ) and if his strategically placed rock ( which I told him was too small ) would protect the lawn from a rain induced pothole. ( it partially did )
.

And in case you’re wanting a piece of jewelry to commemorate the shit show of the last year?
Interesting. The 6th picture on my phone takes us back to July of 2013 when the husband rescued a baby robin from the middle of our road.
.
.
He lived with us for almost a month and we named him Little Cheeper. As you can see he was also a little pooper.
.
.
He was a sweet little guy and I fattened him up with worms, canned dogged food and fruit. I hand trained him, and before long he was flying all over the house.
.
.
It was tempting to keep him as a pet…
.
.
But in the end I couldn’t, and we let him fly free in our backyard.
.
.
But back to the game…
Little Cheeper killing me?
.
.
Nah, I’m not buying it.

Where there's only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
