I like it whenever the UPS or FedEx drivers stop at my house. It’s almost like Christmas opening the packages. And today I had a nice piece of marble delivered so I can learn to make pastry dough. It didn’t sit level on the counter and I could see it was slightly bowed. It also slid on the formica on top of that. No worries. I have a variety pack of clear rubber bumpers that took care of the sliding and wobble issue quick fast and in a hurry. The slab of marble is so doggone heavy that I’ll just leave it on the counter while my arms are on the mend.
It was haircut day and a nice conversation with a hottie at Great Clips. Too bad she has four kids and a husband. Husbands are so not understanding at times.
\I ran into a Vietnam vet at the market too. GIs always find other GIs and we had a nice conversation swapping lies back and forth. I gave him some ideas on how he can replace his lost dogtags. They’re important to vets and the families of vets. Well, they’re important to me at least. I still have a complete set with a St. Michaels medal with them hanging next to my St. Christopher’s medal. The gummy’s like to wear them every now and then.
It’s cold and grey and wanting to snow out there this afternoon. I decided that it was a hackbraten and spaetzle day. That will sit good with a glass of red wine for supper.
Both of my arms hurt today. I’d love to be able to just take both off if I could. The 7th can’t get here fast enough for me.
Back to prepping supper. More later.
I have one of those, but it is about 60 years old. Got it from that house up in South Carolina. The same one the Playboy magazines came from 😁

LOL plantations are too much work. I’m thinking of a tiny house in the middle of nowhere Idaho. Maybe when my grandchild goes off to college I can actually escape 🙂

Uh, no, I would not want to run into your girlfriend out there 😉 Besides that, no one wants to be in Clinton country. Might end up dead or something…

I’m more worried about West Virginia, been through Kentucky many times and never had a problem 🙂 Tennessee now, that was different, that is where the old hillbilly guy told me “ya can’t get there from here” 😲

It is a beautiful piece of stone. It could always double as your headstone in 40-50 more years. Investment piece!
