Another good night of sleep, which makes me very happy. The cats had me in a very crabby mood around 7:00pm, when I was sorting tax receipts, and Stella continued to pester me for cuddles and a huge wish to lie next to me. I was not amused, but I made it up to her later when I put my tax work down for the night, and she slept next to me for much of the night.

WFO is now having issues with his wrists, looks like from using the walker and putting too much pressure on his wrists

Yep, that’ll do it.  My mother-in-law had to have carpal tunnel surgery shortly after she became walker-dependent.

I have been craving a filet o'fish ever since the discussion about them, so I just ordered dinner from McDonalds.

Hope it's great,  Larry!

Well, sadly it wasn't.  The ratio of bun to fish was dreadfully off. When I was in high school, Frisch's Big Boy served the most fantastic fried fish sandwich. McDonald's was a most disappointing sub.

that had a gas tank explode :(



When I lived in Alexandria, VA someone had a gas leak and their house exploded. Everything was destroyed -- EVERYthing. It was amazing that none of the other houses were damaged. It was maybe a mile from my house.

I've been watching THE IPCRESS FILE this week on Amazon Prime. It's quite good, a real quality production. Very 1960s. Of course, they tell you there's no charge and that's true for the first episode, but then you must buy subsequent episodes. A free 1-week trial with Sundance Now is taking care of that.

I too would like to visit, during onion season so I can buy Walla Walla onions.  When Keith grew them in Ashland they were the most delicious onions ever.  OMG good.  I don't care for raw onions, but these.  I would eat them on sandwiches right from the garden.


You should be able to buy Walla Walla onions in your local grocery store in July or August (whenever they are ripe).  We get them in Puyallup.

Off to my mom's for some Phase 10 playing.

Tonight, we played two games and I won one! ;D

When we were first married I recall a loud boom and everything shaking.  It turned out to be a house
that had a gas tank explode :(


When I lived in Alexandria, VA someone had a gas leak and their house exploded. Everything was destroyed -- EVERYthing. It was amazing that none of the other houses were damaged. It was maybe a mile from my house.

Oh, my goodness! :o

Only the one home was damaged that I can recall. I hope there wasn't anyone in the house. Sadly the owner was inside when it exploded.

That's terrible. :(

Jane, did your FedEx packages finally arrive at their destinations?

The one delayed in Chicago arrived this morning.  They heated the bread and said it was delicious as usual.

I first read that as, "They hated the bread and said it was delicious as usual."

A year ago he was a tiny kitten.
Now he weights 11 pounds.

My mom's cat is pretty heavy.  I think she said he's 17 pounds!

Phase 10. Wow there’s a game I haven’t played in ages. Great fun playing with my Aunt Bea and Uncle Jim in Hayward, Cal.

I go to my mom's every Friday and play with her and a couple of her friends and my niece.  And we also play it when our family gets together for our quasi-weekly family dinners.

I have started watching Winter’s Tale, a Colin Ferrell fantasy. It’s pretty bad. Russell Crowe at his worst. Well, he’s not singing here, so second worst.
I hear the book was good.

I agree with your assessment of the movie, but I slogged through the book...if I remember correctly.
