Very nice to start the day with poetry for the season, Harriet!
It may be autumn, but as DGD said tonight, "WHY is it still so HOT???"
We had a little rain today, and it was just enough to leave us feeling hot and sticky at the ballgame. (We lost, 12-0, dgs still playing his role on the sidelines.)
The best part of the night -- after the game we ate at a favorite restaurant, known for multiple soft serve ice cream flavors -- the only place we know of where I can get maple, DS can can apricot, and dgd can get mango. It is out of the way for our normal errands and we rarely eat there.
The worst part of the night -- and I am embarrassed to tell y'all this -- I missed the turn into the restaurant and drove RIGHT THROUGH THE
DITCH in front of it!
I mean right through the grass, left tracks, and pulled right on up to the windows. (This is a place where you can go inside or you can walk up to a window and order.) I was sooo embarrassed (and sooo thankful that the ditch was shallow enough that I did not get stuck in it!) I bet the people in the restaurant thought I was drunk. I'm amazed DS and ddil let me drive the kids home. (They were in a separate car because ddil had to come straight from work.) I just couldn't see -- I knew I missed the turn, but nothing was coming, and I thought the pavement went all the way across there... but nope... there was a grassy ditch right in the middle of two parking areas. I'm afraid DS will take my keys before I'm 65... SMH...
(((Mystery))) I hope the tooth situation can be solved with no pain!
So glad your dgd is out of surgery and doing well, Nancy!
LadyM, it does sound as if your dd is going to be able to skew the test results to suit herself, doesn't it?
Good for you -- moving to another room for ds' lessons when your dsisil dropped by.
Harriet, we have Bojangles in Next Town. DH loved it -- as does DS. I'm not that crazy about it, but I will eat there if everyone else wants to. Popeye's is similar, I'd say. I still prefer Chick-Fil-A to all chicken restaurants.
Well -- I am prepared for a "perfect day" tomorrow. Got out of the shower at 11:30 pm. (It's easier to make myself do the night time shower if I don't have to wash my hair. )
I still have some paperwork to do, and I've been going down rabbit holes on this computer for long while... searching IBS and Find a Grave.
This might be interesting to you, Twins --
I think OG's grave stone has disappeared! Find a Grave still has it just as it always was, but the other day I stopped by the cemetery on the way home from my aunt's, and it took me forever to find it. I knew exactly where it was supposed to be, (I visited it soon after the stone was placed) and I finally found his father's stone. Almost touching his father's stone was the copper/brass (?) flat military marker, which used to be at the foot of his grave, and where his headstone used to be, there was a different stone for a young girl! (No close relation). (There were flowers covering her name and date, and it was starting to rain so I didn't inspect it too closely, but I am 99.9999% SURE this was NOT his stone.) How could this have happened??? I mean, his daughter lives maybe 45 minutes away, but I can't imagine she would have had him moved after all these years. Her mother has been married twice since she was married to OG, and had a child by her second husband. That was so weird -- the stone being gone, I mean -- not her mother's marital history.
One of dh's aunts moved some tombstones after many, many years -- and left the bodies in the graves, which we all thought was crazy -- but she was moving small, ancient stones that probably had fallen over 100 years ago, in a cemetery that was totally covered in weeds and overgrowth. She moved them to a better-maintained family cemetery in a more accessible area. But OG's daughter is 54 years old. I don't think she would go to the trouble of moving a modern day tombstone without moving the person -- and if she moved the person, why did she leave the military marker? Just strange. I've got to go back out there and make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.
Well, good night -- morning -- to you all. Have a great day when you wake up!
