I Deserve a Glass of Wine

I started my day at 6:30 watering and was doing errands by
8:10. Aside from a brief visit with my son, It took me until the thermometer reached l06 at l:30 to get home.

When I got home there was a huge box on my porch from my
friend, Laura. It was packed with practical cookbooks for
Sara and baby washcloths and the kind of dish cloths that she knits that I love, a good book and dog biscuits for Rex.
If Sara can't manage with the four ingredient cookbook, she
needs discipline ...like never getting to eat out. Ted
wants one for when he is alone but Bobby has other plans for
him which I can't reveal..Oh well, I'll tell you anyway, he
is going to fix him up with his stepmother and kill two
birds with one stone. Not that I plan on leaving this world
soon but I am not in denial. It's gonna happen.

I was so cheered and grateful for her thoughtfulness and
Rex ate her dog biscuit...the rat ingrate dog that he is.
Blog friends are so real to me and so present in my life.
I think of you all and the few that I have met have certainly lived up to my expectations.

Thank you Eddie for our little group.

I just now saw this. I'm glad Rex liked those dog biscuits. Lately the fox has been eating them right away instead of hiding them all. We're almost out, so I'm going to have to make some more tomorrow. Sometimes I make them thick, other times they are thin. I cut them into owl shapes.

A cheaper red wine from California. I may drink an extra for you.

It is definitely hotter there than in Florida! The big difference is humidity.I can't go out for more than 15 minutes without feeling like I need to be wrung out.

I feel for you sweetie. I lived at Fort Belvoir on the Potomac river and
sweltered in the humidity. I loved Virginia but we didn't have an air
conditioner and just melted away. That was 61 years ago when Linda was
a baby and it seems like yesterday.

I didn't comment on your previous article, so here's a combo. Happiness and gratefullness are two virtues that are underrated. It's often difficult to overlook the negative things in life, and easy to forget the simple things that permits us to enjoy our lives so much better. (MyBloggers is one of them.)

That and being helpful when you can to other people. I just took soup
and cake to my next door neighbor who just had a knee replacement ane ended
up with pneumonia. It made me far happier to share their gratitude.

@ nittineedles comment. And yes, MyBloggers is a great little place. Thanks, Eddie.
BTW, Sofia is finally here. 6:22am yesterday morning. We should be dismissed tomorrow.

l love her name and life will never be the same.

Wish we could share that glass of wine together. Aren't friends just wonderful?
comment by marta on Aug 2, 2011 3:46 AM ()
Yes, and they are more enriching than money could ever be.

4 ingredient cookbook? sounds do-able. I too love my MyBloggers friends. Wish I could meet more of you.
comment by tealstar on Aug 1, 2011 7:51 PM ()
I have only met Laura and Jeremy but they are exactly like who they are
on mybloggers. I love them both.

Doesn't it make you wonder what Bobby's plans are for you, should you end up being alone?
comment by nittineedles on Aug 1, 2011 5:36 PM ()
I know what they are. I will continue to live here as long as possible and
then I will go to an assisted living center or nursing home. This is my
choice. Ellie and I could never co-exist. I have insurance to make this
possible. I think I would try to find a compatible woman to share my
house. I don't like living alone.

I hope you are enjoying your wine!
Laura sure is thoughtful! I am happy you guys have each other.
Is Ted much younger than you? I guess I missed that?
comment by kristilyn3 on Aug 1, 2011 5:24 PM ()
I guess I am a cougar. I have never dated anyone my own age. I was 56 when I met Ted. I refused to marry him countless times because he was only
39. He assured me it would never make a difference, that he would always
love me. Now, he looks as old as I do and it doesn't make a speck of
difference and never has. We celebrated our silver anniversary last year.
I wish his health was better.
