Waving to all.
(((
Twins))) So frustrating...
And
LadyM -- yes -- I have seen lots of people doing that stained concrete flooring in new homes. I wonder how that feels underfoot all the time. I do not think I would want to walk on concrete 24/7.
Mystery, do you have thoughts re: the baseball team name? Personally, I think we have carried "political correctness" a bit too far and I wish y'all would stay as you are. Just like the brouhaha about the All-star Game being taken out of Atlanta. Someone pointed out that voter ID is not such an extreme request; one has to show an ID to pick up "will call" tickets at any MLB park.
Not to mention to buy cigarettes or alcohol. (We have always had to show ID to vote here in Alabama, so I can't understand why that would even be up for debate.) Plus, the actual proposed law in Georgia is not as restrictive as many other states, including New York, apparently (on time allowed for early voting, etc.)
Anyway. Hope this doesn't upset anyone here in our SHE village. I just think the whole country is losing its mind, a lot of the time. That's just me. I totally understand if y'all disagree and think I'm stuck in the past and need to get over it.
Dgrands are back at school after spring break. DDIL said dgd's class was having an Easter egg hunt.
It's not windy here, either.
Just a nice sunny day, not too hot, very pleasant.
OTOH -- I am not having a very pleasant day. DDIL called to complain because all our local restaurants are closed on Mondays for some reason -- it's just their "thing," nothing connected to Covid or anything else, just kinda traditionally their off day, I guess
-- but then after I went to the post office, I called her back to tell her, "I'll see your Monday closures and raise you a federal jury duty notice."
It's not REALLY a summons for jury duty -- just a notice that my name has been randomly selected to go into the pool of POTENTIAL FUTURE jurors for district court, which is held about a 100 miles from me, btw... but y'all know me, I am terrified of serving on a LOCAL jury. I just have a complete panic attack at the thought of it. I started to put that on the questionnaire. (I had to fill out an online statement confirming my qualification to serve. One question asked if i had a mental or physical disability that would prevent me from serving. I wanted to say, "yes, I am crazy and I will throw up if I have to appear for jury duty," but I thought better of it and decided I would wait until such time that I am actually called. And I may never be called, you know. But thinking about it certainly got my day off to a rousing start.
So that's how things are going here.
BTW -- I missed April Fool's Day with y'all, I think. I loved the Orvis ad,
Harriet!
DGS was with us and he was SOOO excited. I had to restrain his enthusiasm a bit before he wasted everything in the kitchen, but I did allow him to swap the cereals to surprise his granddaddy.
He put the Frosted Flakes bag in the Cheerios box and vice versa. When he told me what he had done, his eyes were just twinkling.
