I just finished going thru a box of photos, tossing most, but setting aside a bunch to be scanned and/or given to my daughter. Most of the ones that I tossed were duplicates or unidentified. Lots were taken from various boat trips on the bay, but they all look the same - water with another boat or 2 sailing by. Boring. Tomorrow I’ll start scanning some of them. Meanwhile, I’s tahred. And the cake I baked was just meh. Still, cake. 😃 ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > **Spidey** , no Ikea here. Do they have the pictogram assembly instructions for the meatballs? Yup, the first picture is of a meatball & a fork. The 2nd picture if of the meatball on the fork, & a mouth. 😃 **Swampy** , Swedish meatballs with gravy, smashed N.O.T. & lingenberry sauce is the standard offering. I don’t think I’ve seen lingonberry pie. ---

**Spidey** I had lingonberry pie at an Ikea in Chicago (ok, some surburb of Chicago I can’t remember) probably fifteen years ago. I remember it as kinda tart but tasty. Maybe they had lingonberry pie that day just cause they knew I’d be there. 😃 ---

I seem to have my very own VCTPMO, and they’re active in force today, starting with the sucktomers who were flinging merchandise onto the counter hard enough that I nearly got hit in the face several times by flying clothing. Then there’s that [bleep] fridge bandit who will even steal partially consumed beverages. Still feeling surly about losing all my email a few days ago when Windows decided to self-destruct. Then there’s the ever-increasing density of DH’s skull… ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 66 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 89 for the day. **Nettie** sorry about the bad stuff happenin’. Hope it gets better soonest. **flytrap** I love it! It can all be an alcohol induced dream! 😃 Today I shall deheathenate Luteurn style as I am Lector (not the cannibal kind) for the nine a.m. service. After that, who knows what will happen. Now I need more caffiene and to feed rumbly tummy. Purtification for deheathenization must also ensue at some point. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

What a night! My feet were like ice and I could NOT warm up!! I finally resorted to pulling the afghan under the covers and wrapping it around my feet and legs. Even at that, I probably didn’t get 5 good hours of sleep. Oh well, I’m up now, and mostly fed. The weather is supposed to be non-rainy today, so \*\*FCD \*\*is thinking about riding his bike down the Colonial Beach for the Harley Fest. Yesterday was pretty much a washout so he’s going today for moral support if nothing else. While he’s gone, I’m going to sort and scan the photos I kept yesterday. Whatever else happens today is up to Fate. 'Cause I like to live life on the edge! 😃 Happy Sunday!! ---
