The table is gone.

But there is something else there. I can't tell what it is, so I may take a walk across the street.

I await your findings.

Good morning.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #32 on:** March 16, 2025, 07:08:40 AM »

Next week for DR LAURA.

It was a mirror about 14x24 framed in green. It is now in my living room while I find a place for it to live.

I left a small set of wind chimes on the ground.

There’s a house near us, not technically in our neighborhood but you have to drive by it to get to our house. In front of it is a mold-covered 1970s camper, a 30-foot 1970s U-Haul truck, a moldy boat, also about 30 feet. A normal car, and part of a catamaran. The owner is rarely there.

It doesn’t stress me out personally, but Mrs R finds it quite appalling. I had to laugh when driving the kids to school the other morning and my son pointed out the latest addition: A blue 2-seater airplane.

In other words, a fair exchange? A 'this for that" sort of thing?

Happy Sunday, all (I had to get it in there before I start thinking it's Friday).

That storm that brought tornadoes and heavy rains to the states west of the east coast yesterday arrived here during the night. Fortunately, we had no tornadoes in Johnston, but the thunder woke me several times during the night.

We are now several hours past the halfway point of March 2025.

On the one hand, the year is certainly moving at a fast clip.

On the other hand, there are still far too many months until November 2028 when we (hopefully) get to elect a real president.

LOL. Is there a name on a mailbox? Possibly "Sanford and Son"?

Kitty cleanup over, bed made, and I can go on to other chores. It took me 25 minutes to get off the bathroom floor after cleanming the litter, get to the kitchen, wash and rinse three kitty dishes, and then make the bed.

Why did DR Jrand74 cross the road?

Tell me if you've heard this one before...

I took it as there was also a set of windchimes, but he didn’t take those.

That is the case DR RODZINSKI.

I put the mirror on the desk against the wall so that the pair of keets now have a FULL view of themselves on that side of the cage.

The are most amused and they enjoy admiring themselves to be sure.

Wasn't there an old perfume commercial "Your wind chimes stay on my mind"?

(well, almost like that)

Do they know it's their own reflection, or might they think it's two new playmates?

I'm up, I'm up - allergy attack at four, but I thankfully got right back to sleep after taking a pill. So, maybe seven hours of sleep, but I woke up to a frozen computer that would not wake up. So, had to deal with that and now I have little time to do anything at all.

Yesterday evening Vixdad and I went to a fundraiser at my friend’s church.

vixmom · « **Reply #51 on:** March 16, 2025, 09:38:52 AM »

There was line dancing with 2 instructors

A buffet dinner

And a silent auction

vixmom · « **Reply #54 on:** March 16, 2025, 09:39:17 AM »

Also door prizes

vixmom · « **Reply #55 on:** March 16, 2025, 09:39:39 AM »

I won two baskets in the silent auction

vixmom · « **Reply #56 on:** March 16, 2025, 09:41:39 AM »

One was a “kaffee klatch” basket that had a nice stainless steel thermos, two stainless steel travel bugs, a carry case for the aforementioned, a very nice platter of fancy bakery cookies and a $50 gift certificate to that same fancy bakery

vixmom · « **Reply #57 on:** March 16, 2025, 09:41:56 AM »

I won it for a $40 bid

vixmom · « **Reply #58 on:** March 16, 2025, 09:42:09 AM »

The other was a picnic basket.

vixmom · « **Reply #59 on:** March 16, 2025, 09:43:33 AM »

A very fancy picnic basket which holds four plates, 4 glasses, cutlery for 4, 4 cloth napkins and a lovely woven picnic blanket.

There was also a bottle of Prosecco inside.
