This week in a nutshell:
Lawn, uncut and didn’t get the lawn guy to call me back — but there is hope for Saturday, provided the mower and my hubby behind it, can cut really HIGH grass. (I’d show you a picture, but it’s really depressing.)
E lost her second tooth. (Again, I’d show you a picture but she want her father to see it in person, so picture coming in my next post.)
I’m LOVING penicillin after getting a sore throat from hell. I only had a 99.5 temperature but felt like it was in the 100’s with chills and couldn’t swallow without pain. Am better now and just excited that I can eat again!
So here are some thoughts before entertaining family this Memorial Weekend! Happy weekend all and thank you to our soliders past, present and future who keep us safe.
In the looks can be deceiving category:
There is this older gentleman who is always out walking in our neighborhood. The first time I saw him sort of wandering I was a bit concerned. While I was out running errands I called my mother who was a home watching the girls. “Lock all the doors and don’t let anyone in,” I told her.
I learned from the police officer who lives across the street that a family from another country were living down the street. And today, while getting the mail, the man walked by and I said, “Hello.” I’ve waved from afar but hadn’t ever gone out of my way to greet him. He told me he couldn’t speak English well and that he was from Albania, I think. “How are you?” He nodded his head, took my hand and kissed it and came in close and kissed me on the cheek too. I guess I should have returned the gesture, but was a bit taken back for I only usually partake in the handshake greeting. (We Ugly Americans!)
So my new friend (I think it’s safe to say we’re friends now) thinks for a moment and says, “How do you say? God Bless.”
“God Bless.”
“Yes, God Bless you.”
We smiled, he turned to continue his stroll and I went back into my garage, past the tall, tall grass.
In the looks can be decrepit category:
So I finally saw the new Indiana Jones movie preview and I gotta say, I don’t think it looks good at all. Plus the scenes I saw just show Harrison Ford as Indy making fun of himself for not quite having the Jones moxie. Well, hello! I don’t care how old Harrison is, he LOOKS to old to be wearing leather and carrying a whip. At least put him on a motorcycle and have him walking with a cane. I was seriously thinking about health insurance when watching the trailer.
Here is a movie star that is obviously trying to relive his youth. He’s married to Calista Flockheart (of Ally McBeal fame) who I remember seeing her on TV at a baseball game. She was there to promo her show that just happened to be on the same network that was televising the game. She looked so bored. I’ve not liked her since that day because I don’t believe that anyone can be bored at a baseball game. If you’re that unhappy you’ve got a lot of treasure hunting to do. But maybe she’d be a great Indy sidekick. Remember how whiny and prissy those Indy women were?
Here is the movie site. The theme music is still great, but who doesn’t hear it and think about their childhood? I guess this movie cash-mine franchise was just too good to let rest. But I think some treasures should remain lost forever because getting reminded of LOST youth is just too painful.
