The Joys of Having Grass in the MMP

nellie I’m having a very nice image of someone in a rocking a chair travelling down a side road. I’d do that if’n I could find a rocking chair with a forward gear. Heck, the closest golf course is about a mile away, I could rocking chair my way there…

I thought it was Moanday all day long.

It was cold and rainy all day, very different from yesterday and according to the weather guessers, different than tomorrow will be. It’s going to be heating up now, it should be around 80 in a few days. Hurray, glorious spring is finally here!!!

Our friends have come and gone, we had a nice visit. The husband brought a can of Prickly Pear beer which was really nice. It didn’t taste like beer at all, it tasted like high powered carbonated prickly pear fruit juice.

My BFF who doesn’t understand anything about my stitching except that it’s beautiful bought a cute little stitchy thing at the dollar store for me. It’s a little ring with hard plastic canvas, I’ll do it in an hour or so and show it to her on Thursday. A while back, the husband bought a bunch of still in the package beer caps for hubs at a thrift store. I’m always really touched when they do this sort of thing for us, the kids are thinking about us!

BFF went through my patterns and picked a nice piece. I got all excited about doing it because it looks like it will be so much fun and then remembered that I bought the pattern because I thought it looked like it would be fun. Of course I did, why would I buy a pattern I didn’t think would be fun?

BFF liked the colors so I can just order from the materials list which was nice too. I emailed my list to The Store of Mom, then called her and told her it was in her inbox and why. This will be another big piece so you guys will get more stitchy spam.

The husband is loud, so GG was a nervous kitty. He knew that there were new friends to meet, but every time he got close, the husband laughed or talked or something and GG thought he was getting yelled at while figuring out if he should get closer. He was bred to be people friendly, so kept coming back because NEW FRIENDS!!!

My BFF, who isn’t loud, was able to convince GG to get close enough to get lots of pets but couldn’t pick him up because he was too heavy.

She’s still recovering from breaking both wrists and the accompanying surgery and pins due to skating on concrete, and isn’t supposed to lift more than 10 lbs. She’s willing to cheat that to about 20 lbs as long as they aren’t a squirmy, nervous 16 lbs.

About 6 months ago, they had a cat show up on their acreage and totally did not want a cat. They are empty nesters, husband is in a band and they go away on weekends. They seriously did not want a cat. They certainly didn’t want an all white cat with blue eyes. (I’m kinda impressed that kitty survived to find them.)

As I’m sure you all know where kitty was while they were visiting us, there was discussion of our litter robot and how to brush kitty’s teeth. Hubs had to excuse himself several times for a laughter break, but I’m a better actress.
