Welcome back!I"M BAAAAAAAACK!
Fine as frog's hair! But I'd be better if it weren't raining and I could go out and get my outside chores accomplished.How is everybody?
I've just googled scrapple - wouldn't eat that either !!Used to love that fresh scrapple! Used to have it rather routinely when I was a kid.
We got lovely flurries but they don't really show in a pic and nothing stuck. Even though it's only 25f here. I guess the dry air sucked up all the moisture.?
Hello.I"M BAAAAAAAACK!
I'm thinking of you both with the snow and rain and hoping it's not going to be as bad as the news is saying... after all the fires.??Maggie called me last night to say it was snowing like crazy up there in Oregon. And it's big enough to stick. Her computer is in the shop, so she'll be off line for a while.
So my day is passing kinda crappily, it's cold and yucky out and I'm just ugly. I walk to the mailbox at the corner, oh boy! My new Levi's so the day is improving. I get home throw the mail on the table, and go try on my new jeans. 501's shrink to fit...kinda big, I have been wearing size 6 skinny jeans and went to 4's. So the jeans are kinda big as opposed to skin tight $70 they better shrink ...anyhow, oh the mail...one from SOUTH AFRICA!!!
Do I know anyone in S. Africa?
It has a little bump in it so I'm thinkin Carol sent me flower seeds, ? so I am using small scissors to cut away the tape, Santa! A Santa card taped closed to hold the seeds... I oh so carefully cut the tape and start to open it, and these bat things fly out with noise and wavy wings, I flung the envelope away from me, throwing myself backward, bouncing off the door jam and falling over the running cat!!!!!!! Oh crap!!!!!! Scared the holy s**t outa me. So I get up and see that the bats are butterflies. Oh cute, so I am kinda chuckling at myself...then I read the freakin card...it was PAYBACK for the glitter I put in her card, saying that for the next 5 years every time you vacuum up red glitter you will think of me...a lovely thought for a friend
OK chefdenoel10...you said I would never see a payback coming, and I didn't. Not at all, you would think I 'might' have been careful, I did wonder about the stamps and no postmark. But that was only fleeting...you got me fair and square, it's too bad it wasn't filmed. It was a grand joke that you really thought out...a little more evil than I would have expected from you...
I'm not kidding you guys...she really worked hard on this...
here are the flying bats (lol), you wind up the rubberband using the front small wings, then she stuffed them in the card, and I realeased them by opening the card. God, it was funny.

The rubberband is actually the body of the bats.

I'm sure that some of you have seen this before, but in my whole life I never have, and I'm thinking that's one reason it worked so good...Thanks Chefdenoel10 I have so much enjoyed this
The cross trainer was delivered earlier than expected. Time to get exercising!? I will be able to put my prosthetic leg on and when my right arm heals. I will be able to use my prosthetic arm.

Whahaha. That was good.
I am sorry everyone, but I decided not to risk sending out any cards to everyone, because with us going through our second wave currently I did not want to risk passing on any new strains of the covid virus to anyone. And because I am not sure who will be touching the envelopes and or if they are being hygienic and following covid protocols or not, I thought it would be best not to send out cards.
Good evenooning all.
I haven’t had a good week with my mind. Covid and lockdown and just life in general really is getting me down at the moment. I wound up really upsetting my daughter today.. and not by shouting at her... it might have been better if I had
It’s a year to the day since we set off for our trip of a lifetime to New Zealand. Maybe that’s what is dragging me down.
I’ll try to cheer up but if I‘m feeling down I may have to observe rather than participate for a while.
You inspired me. Since I already think my brothers have bats in their belpreys, I'm going to send them a birthday card with flying bats. I can't wait. They were even born on beggars night so that proves they deserve it.?
