My darling neighbor is Evelyn Dewars. I have known Miss Evelyn for probably 20 plus years. She has always been next door as long as I can remember. so imagine my surprise when we bumped into each other at the gas station and she mentioned something in her blog. I didn’t eve know she was writing a blog! So I thought it would be nice to mention Miss Evelyn in my blog and see if she likes that.
Baby Blog
One of my girlfriends is expecting a baby in August and I want to buy her some baby gifts. It is getting harder and harder to find unique baby gifts that will be useful and appreciated. But I am still searching.
Jenny started writing a blog and although it is not a day by day accounting of her pregnancy, it is a nice journal that she will be able to look back on and read, years down the road. I think that is really cool. I hope she keeps writing and adds some pictures of the baby after she is born. I think you can even export everything you’ve written and print it out as a scrapbook or diary. That would be unique!
Bakugan Novice
The kids are all talking about a new game and cartoon series called Bakugan. I don’t know much about it, but the cartoons are the Japanese anime style cartoon and seem to be entertaining with an ongoing storyline of “right is might.” What I like is that the heroes include some girl characters, although they have an annoying way of crying a lot.
Man Bashing
I am sick of hearing all the girls at the office complaining about their husbands and boyfriends. The crap they put up with it totally unbelievable to me. I would kick a man to the curb before I would put up with the stuff I hear about in the break room.
I am starting to wonder if there are any decent men out there any more.
Bad News
On my way to work this morning I stopped in at the gas station to see if the clerk was there or what was going on, since they did not open Sunday until after 3:00 pm in the afternoon.
Turns out that Miss Kay, the nice older lady who worked there, had slipped on the wet grass on her way to the car to go to work and she had broken her collarbone when she fell. The poor thing was left there laying on the ground for over an hour before anyone could get to her to help her.
She’s in the hospital for just a few days and then I suppose she’ll be sent back home. i don’t know who will be able to help her out around the house – she won’t be able to take care of herself or the house with a broken collarbone. That’s so sad.
No One There
Something was very wrong at the local gas station this morning. When I stopped by at 11:00, the door was locked and there were no lights on. They should have been open since 5:00 am, so I was very worried that something bad had happened to the nice older woman who usually works on Sundays.
Even the Sunday newspaper were left outside the door on the sidewalk, and some people had oviously been helping themselves to them. I took this photo to give it to the store manager so she could see how many papers were still there at 11 and maybe she could salvage some of that inventory.
Hoppy Easter
I hope you have a Hoppy Easter, today. If the Easter Bunny finds your house, save some candy for me! I miss having little kids around to hunt for Easter Eggs and share their candies.
April Fools Fun
Wow – this year we had lots of people pulling pranks on each other to celebrate April Fools Day. I have seen all kinds of jokes and pranks. I think the funniest one was someone glued a dollar bill on the sidewalk in front of the drug store. Then they stood a few feet away and laughed as people bent over to try to pick it up. As I was approaching the drug store entrance, someone else was already there trying to pick it up. So I didn’t fall for it but I shared the laughs.
Santa is Coming to Town
Are you ready for Santa? Have you been good all year or just cleaned up your act these past couple weeks? Santa knows what you deserve and he’s coming to town tomorrow to reward you for your efforts.
I know Santa is bringing me lots of goodies. If you are one of my friends, then I’m sure you’ll get lots of goodies, too.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Six Flags Halloween Haunt
Found a great way to have fun on Halloween – go to the Six Flags Halloween Haunt! The entire theme park has been converted into haunted houses, graveyards and other spooky things. They have characters in spooky costumes roaming about the park, too. I wonder if the park guests are supposed to come in costume? I have some friends that could dress up and go crazy at a place like that.
Sounds like a blast – I can’t wait to go!
