Busy day. Got both bikes tuned and back, hit a couple church rummage sales, met a couple friends, did some banking. Tomorrow we go (almost) to Altoona. For some reason, I’m thinking the best part of the weekend is over. (Well ----- have you ever _been_ to Altoona?) ---

Imma thinkin’ @ the big sledding hill in the nearby state park. Sell a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you lose a steady customer. Just let me know where your tumble is to take place. I bought 4- 12’x2"x2" and twp boxes of 8d nails at Home Despot. 🙂 ---

> [@2gigch1](#): > > Sounds like it would be like popping zits, only cleaner. um, ick! :eek: I love waking at 4:30 in the gawd-awful morning on a day when I could sleep in, theoretically. No amount of changing positions or pillow rearranging would permit me to return to slumber, so here I am. Not impressed. I discovered that the tunic to the pantsuit that I ordered for my wedding duds was assembled incorrectly. It’s lace over a plain top, but the piece under the lace has its seams showing. Whoever put it together did it inside out. And it’s way too much to fix it myself. I want to exchange it, but I want to be sure the one I get in return isn’t the same way. I’ll call customer service today and talk to them. That’s one of the problems of shopping on line - you can’t put your hands on the item you want till it’s purchased. Oh well… Today’s supposed to be like yesterday, but a bit warmer. I’m going to ride the mower around the front yard, then maybe do a little more raking or stick-picking-up. I also need to get to the store to pick up my check for March and (probably) get back a bunch of stuffed bunnies in baskets. Beyond that, we’ll just kinda wing it. Happy Sunday!! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 66 Amurrkin out and muggy with a predicted high of 76 and rain/tstorms/apocalypse for this afternoon and evenin’. This is supposed to be the weather for the next three to four days. We shall see. Today’s plans include deheathenization, with ush duty thrown in for good measure. This is the Second Sunday in Easter so I predict a somewhat lower attendance this mornin’. Then, folks are comin’ over around two this afternoon (when the rain/tstorms/apocalypse is allegedly startin’) to nosh. That will be fun. Margaritas will be made, if desired, but da bear will not partake. I do not mix meds and alcohol. Ok, that’s all I got for now. Rumbly tummy is hongry and I need more caffeine. At some point purtification for deheathenization must commence. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Happy Sunday! Looks like it’s supposed to be warm - 60 - and sunny today. It’s chilly in the house this am, my feet are cold. Putting on socks is cheaper than turning on the heat. SSDD as always. ---

Up and caffeinated. I shall go to the store for vittles and vacuum up the pet hair tumbleweeds off the floor. ---

We decided to do Golden Corral for breakfast. It was \*Meh \*mostly, but I didn’t have to cook or do dishes, so that’s a plus. \*\*FCD \*\*is taking one of my old shelf units - I need to clear the last few bits of my junk off of it and take it downstairs for him. Then, I guess, I’ll get out the mower and make some noise and dust. rah.
