Good News!

I just got off the phone with my grand daughter...we had a very nice conversation! She said life is moving too fast! Isn't that the truth! She just turned 17 and is a certified EMT and fire fighter in the state of South Dakota. She won't be able to contribute her skills until she is 18 but as she said, she has a head start on it! You go girl!

So we talked and made plans for her to come out for a visit in March during spring break! One week of kicking back, relaxing, swimming, and of course shopping!

Then she asks me if it would be alright for her boyfriend to come with...Boyfriend? A week stay here? You together? Seperate rooms? please say yes! I didn't know how to respond! I was sitting here with this shit face on wondering, thinking, anticipating, contemplating, ready to slap myself silly and then she says she was just kididng! C'mon dear sweet grandchild... don't give Granny a premature stroke!

Good News? No, it's Great News!

UPDATE: Grand Daughter wants to come out next week! She can do her studies from here....and have Grampa Mr Wonderful help her! This is even better news!

Update #2: Mr Wonderful has once again burst my bubble...thanks! So, I was happy for a moment....

It's not for ME!

I get a lot of catalogs in the mail...so many that I don't even look at all of them. There are certain ones I will glance at, but basically they have the same stuff in them, and usually not my taste at all. I'm not into roosters, apples or country decor, frilly curtains with matching bedspreads, sconces, oversize vases, kitchen gadgets or what's up with those stretchy slipcovers for your sofa that come in all sorts of gaudy colors?


And don't you just love it when you get one of those catalogs with the big red sticker slapped on the front with the warning:

Now that's going to make me pick it up and thumb through the pages looking for something that I don't want or need just so I keep getting this junk mail!


And then underneath that BIG RED sticker is this one:

So, now of course I HAVE to check out these goods because I can get a line of credit up to $1,000.00 and only pay $20.00 a month with an annual percentage rate of 21%! How can I pass up this incredible deal?

Then my bubble bursts when I look at the little paper credit card with the pre-approved code on it and it has the previous homeowners name on it!

IT'S NOT FOR ME!

Shoe were always on my mind...

No, it's not a typo...I was thinking of the song though "You Were Always On My Mind" and well... "You" rhymes with "Shoe".


Who comes to a pool wearing BOOTS? Okay, I know, it's the dead of winter but it got me to thinking. People change into their suits and have nothing to wear on their feet after getting out of the water.

Or even if they are just sitting around, they just get that urge to slip off that BOOT and air out their feet! Sorry about the blurred photo....I was laughing so hard!

So, I saw these cute flip flops and thought, I could buy a gross of them, and keep them handy for guests who want to kick off their shoes and sit around. They are made of a Styrofoam like material so they are reusable or disposable. Throw them in your purse, bag or glove compartment, and have them handy for those pedicure days at the spa! The possibilities are endless with these cute flipppies!

Don't worry, I'm still searching for the perfect sandal for you guys...cuz

Shoes are always on my mind!

Where's Waldo?

Some years ago I bought these books for my son. They provided hours of entertainment for the both of us looking for Waldo. Sometimes we were successful in finding him, other times I thought I was going to go blind!

Then the books were banned because someone said there were bare breasts in one of the books. I never found them but am sure my son probably did! Then I got into collecting Waldo things...I have every book, puzzle, game, and even wrapping paper, gummies and of course who wouldn't have this in their collection? The Waldo doll!


Where's Waldo? He's right here in my house!

That's a Pool!

Guinness World Records named the swimming pool at the Chilean San Alfonso del Mar resort the world's largest on Tuesday. It is 3,323-feet long, holds 250,000 cubic meters of water and covers about 20 acres.

Now that's a Pool!

I'm in Shock!

The Pool Man was here last week to do some repairs on our 20,000 gallon bathtub after Mr. Wonderful left a window open in the mechanical room, and the pipes FROZE and BUSTED!

After the new plumbing was installed Pool Man says...I'm going to add this SHOCK to the pool, and the water will look like glass! It will just sparkle! Me, thinking to myself, the water already looks like glass and sparkles but, yeah go ahead Pool Man...you know best!

It looked like MILK after he was done, but he reassured me that it would clear up in a matter of time....

Today, one week later...Pool Man makes another trip out to do a water test, and adds more chemicals, and this is what the pool looks like now! MILK! Did he shock the pool? or me?

I'm in SHOCK the way it looks!
