Catching Up

I went to Maine for a few days but without my computer.  And no computer access at my Mom's.  I even enjoyed it.  But I did miss y'all!  And what a welcome back, to open my email and find Laurie's observation on the blog contest.  I'm still laughing.  And I had to call my mother and share that with her.   If you missed it, go back to the comments of my last post, but first, put down whatever you're eating or drinking.  You'll want to keep your keyboard and screen clean so you can go back and read it again and again, cause it's just as funny with each subsequent read.  I'm also very much enjoying the other comments to the blog contest.  Thank you all for participating!  There's still time for anyone who hasn't yet.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I've read each of your very kind and thoughtful comments to my Thanksgiving post and I appreciate every one of them.  My weekend was very quiet but full of simple joys.  Hugging my mom, eating the. BEST. ever. stuffing my sister made, taking Molly and Gypsy out to the grassy field area of my mom's farm and watching them run just for the sheer joy of running, a solid 15 minutes of non-stop, flat out race cause it feels good run through tall grasses and leaping over little hillocks.  Molly did most of the running.  In circles cause I had to keep her on leash to keep her safe.  I stood in the center of her circle, getting dizzy and trying not to trip over Gypsy who ran a smaller diameter.  It was cold and wet but we three filled our souls with silliness.  And then Mom and I hatched a plan.  An impish plan for gifting that not-so-favorite male on your list.  Some wine and a pair of flannel boxers.  I can think of a couple of deserving recipients.  Imagine if this idea caught on.  One by itself would never reach those recipients, but if thousands showed up, they'd at least hear about it.  What fun that would be!

Those boxers are great! Yeah, I know a couple of people they would be perfect for :)

Welcome home - and it's good to hear that you had such a wonderful time.

The only potential problem with that plan is that the wine is actually pretty damn good. If you could find some plonk that conveys the same type of message though...

Lol! The wine and the boxers are too funny! It sounds like you had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving.

Oh my.........Laurie's comment had me on the floor........I'm still laughing!

Unfortunately I am not witty...heehee....I'm still laughing!

I'm happy to amuse.

I really like the gift ideas for the miserable male in one's life. Haven't tasted the wine...
