I LUV CHAR
While Mr. Man drank a few bottled Cesars as he was waiting for D & S.W to come over for drinks and euchre, an idea was hatched. Suddenly he jumped up and put gas in the lawnmower after I had ran out of gas and let it sit where it stopped. He began to cut seemingly erratic lines in the grass. Soon it became clear he was writing something. It was so cute. He wrote "I LUV CHAR". I then had him climb up on the roof to take a picture of it. The ladder was right there because he had been up on the roof earlier measuring for new shingles. The pictures don't really show the whole thing, but you get the gist. I love this man, my Mr. Man, so much, and I love knowing that he loves me too. So here's a picture...
He's up on the roof and I'm down on the ground. He's behind the satellite dish which you can see in the foreground and in the shadow of him. But look at the grass. A very sweet gesture.
Then S & D.W came over and we ate and drank and played euchre. Then we decided we should have a bonfire too. It wasn't going long when we all decided to call it a night. It was an early night, as they were planning to head out to Canada's Wonderland in the morning, and Mr. Man planned to get up on the roof early to start shingling.
Since they couldn't reach me by phone (I guess they didn't have the cell number), I received a registered letter from the doctor informing me that I need to make an appointment for another biopsy. Apparently the cells keep coming back "abnormal" so they have to keep checking for cancer. So far no cancer I guess, just abnormal cells. I'm not sure how often I have to go, if it's every six months or every year. One or the other. So I go in September, in fact the first day back to school. Little R will be in her very first day of high school.
Speaking of Little R, she got herself a little part time job over at the Burger and Fries Stand. She put in four hours today, her first day. That's a cool first job, working in a chip wagon, I think.
I mowed the front lawn yesterday and most of the back today. I did a little, very little, weeding in my gardens. Thats when I discovered, the wire I had buried a couple of years ago, for one of those electric collars for Bear, was cut, completely severed. So 500 feet of wire and $200 is gone, useless, a lot of work and money for nothing. Since you can buy extra wire seperately, we're going to try to sell the kit with the collar and control box and flags, everything but the wire, in our yard sale, that we may or may not have this year.
Speaking of yard sales, one of my nieghbours had one today. We couldn't resist walking over to see what was there. I don't think there was much planning or advertising, so it was mostly only nieghbours attending. I bought an angel with lights made out of sticks, to stick in one of my gardens for $.50. We also bought a silver coffee pot, creamer and sugar bowl for a buck. I'll never use it. I may get around to polishing it and putting it in one of my cabinets. There was a lot of craft type stuff, a lot of kids VHS movies and a lot of toys. I found myself wishing I had grandbabies so I'd have a reason to buy some of the cool toys.
We went out for brunch today and then picked up pizza for dinner. Mr. Man put a good dent in the shingling. He's not doing the whole roof, just parts of it where there are leaks. Really the roof isn't bad, just in spots. My baby, Little R is a working girl now. She's growing up fast now. I haven't talked to Big R much lately as she was away on vacation, but we have been talking again which is great. I called my father to wish him a Happy Birthday the other day. He turned 92. He then passed his drivers test and is legal to drive another 2 years. Amazing.
That's about all the news from paradise. Well there is other stuff, negative stuff, that I'd rather not mention here. But it doesn't really involve me or my family, it's peripheral. People around us. That's it, until next time, have a lovely evening. Monday morning is almost here.
