A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Ruby Tuesday used to offer blackberry cheesecake, about 3" high. It was absolutely delicious.
I love cats, especially Maine Coons. The neighbor has one but her cats unfortunately aren't well cared for. Thankfully the Coon cat doesn't go outside much or she'd be in danger as the other 2 are from the heavy traffic in this area....or from "coons" of a different kind - with the patches over their eyes, long claws, and the ability to get into just about any kind of plastic device humans put out.
The disadvantage is, well, all that fudge does become permanent... on one's hips. Yikes!
Given that vehicles are barred, you'll have the opportunity to take a ride in a horse drawn carriage and see the shops, or if you're more adventurous, you can rent a bicycle and ride off all the fudge you'll eat when you walk into a fudge shop and are overwhelmed by the temptations.
So Send, Ya got a fellar around the place? Is he well trained and housebroke? Can he lift heavy things? Does he have any money coming in? If so, then by all means you should retire immediately if not sooner.
Garden, I am an experience smelly-er and I drink wine occasionally also.
Just asking if that has been all figured out, how you did it, or how the division of responsibility is working, because I don't want to be the mean one, no one should have to be. Do you have any serious advice for me, because I would like to retire.
Well, maybe he can be protector of the seeds. He can sit on his tractor, get a guitar, and sing Blowin' in the Wind just like Bob Dylan. Oh, he can also drink his beer - wouldn't want to deprive him of that pleasure.
So, Windy, will you be the new Seed Protector as well as Master Folk Singer as well as Master Crafts Beer sampler?
SendMe, great idea to appoint, or should I say "anoint", Windy as the Master Grape Processor, but I'm not sure his wife would agree. It might be an issue of Honey-Do vs. Windy's new responsibilities as Winemaker vs. Windy's Wants.
Maybe we could also make him Sommelier Premier so he can taste all the wine he makes before shipping it to his Aging Care friends. We'd just have to make sure all the downstate Fudgies don't get wind (pun intended) of his new occupation and swarm all over the area to get his wine. He'd probably have to figure out a way to send them to Mackinac Island for more fudge and leave his grapes alone.
Coloresue, thanks, if that's meant for me.
My wife is a saint but she's pretty mean to me lots of the time. I keep reminding her I'm retired but she still expects all this productivity around the place. I was hoping retirement was going to be drinking beer and watching ICE ROAD TRUCKERS marathons all the time, but Nooooooooooo.......
Where is Cwillie, the spelling expert when we need one?
G'night, Gershun, spelled that right, huh? Or did you change the spelling again?
We really do have bunny rabbits multiplying so fast here, leaving poop on the cement overnight. My dog used to want to eat it so we kept cleaning up the tiny pellets. I think all those northern neighbors use it to fertilize their gardens.
Btw, Sunday nights get a little crazy, boring, but I don't drink at all, just whine a little bit. Should I grow my own grapes, send them far far up north to Windy so he can ferment them in wine barrels? His wife would like that. Wouldn't that be therapeutically stinky, Windy?
Mina, that was quite a description of someone I don't know....but thank you for the complement, I may fit one or two of the profiles you mentioned.
Count me in on the memory drugs. And I love your new title for this thread. Sometimes that's exactly what we write about!
It's still too early to think about snow and snow shoveling.
Put all the deck chairs in the shed, drug out the snow tires for the old jeep, and got the tractor cab ready to mount for tomorrow.
Wait....Is this the Whine Thread? No?....... OK ...New Thread: A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO WHINE ABOUT WHILE IM GARDENING. That should cover it.
Hey Black Dog. Maybe we can get a group discount on memory drugs!
the small victories, the day-to-day pleasures, the simple joys of quiet friendship and sharing these little things with friends on here, that is a favorite thing today.
