Well that didn’t take long.

After a year of hemming and hawing.

A year of deciding and then changing his mind.

A year of yes he will and then no he won’t.

He finally did it.

.

.

One final rub down …

And then.

.

.

He put her on the front lawn for sale.

.

.

It’s been a long time coming. We really don’t ride much anymore and throwing $1,000 into her every year to counteract the inactivity wasn’t doing her… or us…. any good.

.

.

So the husband finally agreed to let one of his babies go.

We put her out on the lawn at 2:00 in the afternoon. At 2:30 I listed her on FB marketplace and Craig’s List. At 3:00 we got a call from a man with cash.

.

.

The next morning at 10:00am she was gone.

I think my husband is still in shock.

Ominous skies…

11 Comments

.

We’ve had a crazy spring. Or really, a crazy non spring. Cool, overcast and dreary with a little scattered rain here and there. Not nearly the April showers we needed.

.

.

I had high hopes for a deluge when we were driving home under these skies last week.

.

.

They were ominous and promised some good rain.

.

.

It was falling somewhere.

.

.

But not in our backyard.

.

.

This was taken on the other side of town.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Random nonsense

Sharing some things that made me smile.

I saw the first Baltimore Oriole of the season yesterday and rushed to fill the feeder before they move on.

.

.

They’re such glorious bursts of winged color I try to keep them around as long as I can.

.

.

Perfect for that new Stephen King book.

.

.

Because Lord Dudley Mountcatten always makes me smile.

.

.

This would definitely make me smile.

.

.

Bluebirds.

Always pretty, always look mean.

What have they got to be mad about?

So bad, they’re good.

Sometimes you just need a stupid laugh. And I found quite a few the other day when this stupid page appeared on my Facebook feed.

.

.

And yes, they’re as delightfully bad as you’d expect.

.

.

I’m guessing that won’t be easy listening.

.

.

Wow.

And you know he was proud of that hair.

.

.

That’s got to hurt.

.

.

I’m guessing Jesus would pass.

.

.

I like to think I have a wide and varied knowledge of music… but I have to admit, this album escaped my notice.

🤣

A boy and his platypus.

16 Comments

.

There is a platypus on our spare bed.

.

.

If you’re wondering why, I have one word. Hysterectomy.

And the two word reasons for these?

.

.

Renal arteriogram and uterine artery embolization.

Okay… that’s actually five, but you get the idea. Every time I go into the hospital my husband buys me a stuffed animal for company.

They’ve been on our beds for years but it’s only recently that Lord Dudley Mountcatten has decided the platypus makes a good snuggle buddy.

.

.

Most afternoons you’ll find him here, napping with his new friend.

At times it’s hard to tell where he ends and the platypus begins.

.

.

But whatever you do, don’t disturb his slumber.

.

.

There will be Hell to pay.

Cut it out Gregg.

With thanks to whoever introduced me to Goodreads… Mark?… I’m really enjoying the app and being able to keep track of all my books.

The option to connect with friends and fellow reading obsessed people is fun and the reviews are helpful.

But… you knew there was a but… then there’s Gregg.

I have no idea who Gregg is but he found me on the site and keeps sending friend requests which I continue to deny.

This is Gregg.

And while most people say a little something about themselves and their reading habits, Gregg took a different route. A rather desperate I’m striking out on eHarmony and Tinder so let’s troll Goodreads for chicks route.

.

.

Don’t believe me?

Check out his friends list.

.

.

Notice anything strange?

.

.

There’s a decided lack of testosterone here.

.

.

And if you still need more convincing?

.

.

Gregg doesn’t seem to be much of a reader either.

🤣

I’m more voracious than I thought.

Before joining Goodreads I never gave much thought to how much I read. I knew it was a lot, books are stuffed in every nook and cranny of our house and my Amazon deliveries are epic. But I don’t keep all the books I’ve finished… I couldn’t, they would literally bury me… so I never did a yearly count until now.

Goodreads has a annual challenge where you set a goal and check off as you go.

My prediction of the number of books I’d read this year was slightly off.

.

.

I thought 75 seemed like a good number… but clearly it was a little low.

.

.

It’s early May and it looks like I’m 50 books ahead of schedule.

Oops.

A few chuckles and a tear.

Just a couple of things that made me smile.

Like this picture of a receipt from our local pub one of the bartenders posted .

.

.

I’m afraid to ask what she did to deserve that kind of tip….. but kudos to her all the same.

.

.

Cats.

Proof positive you can nap anywhere.

.

.

I know what to do.

Run!

😳

.

No doubt about what they sell here.

This photo popped up in my Facebook memories the other day and made me cry.

Our beautiful boy Huffington. A stray who wandered in, stole our hearts and was tragically run over by a car two years later. As a pet lover you always hate to say you have a favorite, but this guy was special.

And to be honest? He got more use out of that exercise bicycle than we did.
