Speaking of miracles, I think it is a miracle that these butterflies flew hundreds and hundreds of miles to get to this spot to spend the winter.

Belated birthday greetings to DH Richard.
Enough of that for now.
Time for some MIRACLE VIBES. A big ol' pocketful.

Monday morning greetings! At 1pm, Richard and I have to go to the nearby Presbyterian church for the funeral of another of his teaching colleagues. This is getting depressing...
Thanks to the superior customer service of Delta, I actually managed to get all of my flights into on day yesterday and got home by 11:50 p.m.
Thank you, all, for the travel vibes. They really helped.
Now I have to go see if my luggage has arrived at the airport. That Delta couldn't get in time last night.
Ginny, I am pleased Richard is feeling good better.

My condolences to Richard. :(
Sorry to hear that news, DR Ginny.
DR John, are you awake and functioning ;)
John, we are on the verge of purchasing a flight to Austin, unless we decide to go a completely non-stop direction. Going to Austin complicates the trip, however......
Waco nearby has some interesting museums. Keith is interested in the Dr. Pepper on and the Texas Ranger one looks interesting, as do a few others.
Austin has the capital building that seems to me a "must see". The festival of lights at Zilker park look amazing, unless the crowds ruin it.
Keith said we could spend the night in Marcus on our way back from San Antonio (yes we would have a car) but I can't see much to do.
Any suggestions? Should we do this trip during a warmer season?
I have never been to Texas and most of it looks very interesting and beautiful.

San Marcos is a college town. It's pretty, but it doesn't have much to see, as least as far as I've seen.
I don't think the time of year is bad. In fact, I think it's a beautiful time of year. The Hill Country has plenty to see, though Fredericksburg might be more charming than San Marcos.
Jeanne, were you the one who recommended the Brokenwood Mysteries? I'm starting them. Enjoying the first one. Right down to the use of cassettes.

The Macy's sale flyer same in the mail Saturday and while browsing through it I saw that they had just such a recliner on sale for about 1/2 price
Found the chair, it was the perfect color , she thought it was comfortable and they could deliver it by Friday
The original recordings for Columbia - his later recordings for Deutsche Gramophone I'm not fond of and I really don't like the sound. These, with this new remastering, are fantastic.
There is more to the story, guess I had better wait before I turn my computer off.
So back in the car we go.... The laz e boy is back where we just were
I counted to 10 and then said casually as possible "it s probably a bit unlikely they will still have that chair in stock Mom"
So. Said Tuesday would be fine and pulled out my Macy's charge
All the way home she worried about be lack of arm covers
(this story is at least 25 miles long)
So if any of you know how to make arm covers please do me a favor and make me a owie so I don't have to go to jail for matricide
(this story is at least 25 miles long)
You will be pleased to know I did not open the door and kick her out of the moving car
You will be pleased to know I did not open the door and kick her out of the moving car
I think you deserve a medal for that.
I still have the arm covers that came with my La-z-boy, um, about 22 years ago. Kept them on for a couple of days and just couldn't deal with them. And I do think they look better without.
Of course they won't match or fit anything. But they're yours. :)
So if any of you know how to make arm covers please do me a favor and make me a pair so I don't have to go to jail for matricide
May I presume Vixmom's story is over? And she has passed on the matricide?

Story is over, matricide has been postponed, but not off the table .... After all the chair has yet to be delivered
I just like using that word.
I just like using that word.
I would even say they have a teal push.:D
Yes, John G, as Jane mentioned, I recommended BROWNWOOD MYSTERIES. New Zealand is indeed more than raising sheep.
Vixmom, may I recommend you refrain from watching Mel Brooks' The Twelve Chairs for the next few days?
Oh, my news:
TWO flat tires in two days!! Can you believe it?
Yesterday I was driving down the street when my car made this AWFUL noise, which was followed by a message on the dashboard telling me one of my tires was underinflated. I drove to a gas station, where they now have a little machine that takes $1.50 (quarters only) so you can put air in your tires. I did so, but it didn't look right, so I drove it to my auto repair place, which is open on Sundays. They checked and adjusted all the tires and reset the indicator.

Oh no, that's terrible. Are your tires under warranty?

I doubt it. The car's five years old. I'll dig out the warranty tomorrow and check. I suspect they can be repaired.
I was lucky when I got my flat a little while ago that the repair was free at BJ's where I bought the tire

My tires had a lifetime warranty... I hope yours do as well
Lest another few posts go by without a mention of Gustav Mahler, I'll just say that there were many times over the years that I thought of getting Bernstein's DG (used to be DGG) Mahler series, and as I think about it now, I'm pretty sure that I not only never got any, I've never even heard any of them.
And I never did get the enchiladas. :(
Page seven?
Oh well. TCB will have us up to page fifty-three in no time.
We did get a. Nice clear view of the super moon rising over the Long Island expressway
And I never did get the enchiladas. :(
That is the saddest part of the story.
On Saturday, while I was making the banners ,I watched several hours of the Netflix series The Crown... It's about Elizabeth II and starts after WWII and before her marriage
No more flat tire vibes for DR Vixmom!
It's well worth the few bucks a month it costsOn Saturday, while I was making the banners ,I watched several hours of the Netflix series The Crown... It's about Elizabeth II and starts after WWII and before her marriage
I want to watch this but we don't get Netflix.
i'm off to watch BRIEF ENCOUNTERS.
I'm sorry, Vixmom. But I was laughing so hard at your story that I had to go back to the beginning to read it to my daughter.
Page seven? Really? Shouldn't we be on page three? :)

Thanks! No more flat tire vibes for Jeanne

I hope she enjoyed it ! Please give Sandra my best, she is sorely missed by the likes of me. I used to read her stories to my daughter
:DPage seven? Really? Shouldn't we be on page three? :)
I can delete my posts, if you'd like
I get a salesperson start the whole invoice process tand the salesperson says it can be delivered Tuesday the 22nd
VIBES FOR A SUCCESSFUL CHAIR DELIVERY!
Matricide is a good word, too.
Reminds me of a comedy sketch for CD Radio Theater's production of Oedipus Rex:
He killed his father --
That was patricide.
Then he took his mama
for a mattress ride.
We did get a. Nice clear view of the super moon rising over the Long Island expressway
Tonight my iPad is acting up.
