Blue Dawn

That crazy old woman was grocery shopping this morning and picked up a bottle of Blue Dawn.  She had noticed that the bottle in the kitchen was getting low, and put it on her list.  Well, her husband got irritated and told there was lots at home.  A little tense for a few minutes and the bottle got left behind. Well, they got home and he went downstairs and brought up three full bottles including one that was huge-obviously meant for filling up the smaller ones.  Now, Blue Dawn is the best thing since sliced bread.  It can be used for anything.  But nobody needs that much in a domestic situation.  (We're not re-habing birds or animals covered with oil here)

A little later, David dropped a brief case on his head.  GOK how something like that happens.  His says that he was putting it up on a cupboard shelf, and dropped it.  At least that's his story.  He just missed his left eye, hit his cheek bone, and is now developing a beautiful shiner.

David bought himself a new pair of boots yesterday.  This is a big occasion around here, and he's probably needed them for awhile.  Glad to see it finally happening.  Now he plans to spend a few days giving them a good shine ( once we buy some shoe polish),  I think the old ones will likely go to a shelter or some place similar. 

 We now plan to have a "peace of mind" inspection done on the car.  Our extended warrantee is up in July, and this will give us enough time to get any necessary work done before then.  Hard to believe that it's five years old.  Remember us buying it Beth?  The pieces falling off the old car on the way home from Fargo, and then "losing" the bank draft we got to pay for the new one?

We had to cross the river a couple of times in our travels yesterday, and I noticed that it was covered with water.  Today on the radio they were talking about the ice going out in the last 24 hours.  This brought back memories of how Daddy used to look forward to the ice going out.  I'm sure this came from living in a family of prospectors. This was a big deal in earlier times.  The ice going out meant that travel was possible on the rivers and lakes.  Made me think of Barney living in our basement every winter and then disappearing over the summer.

And to think I was complaining just a few days ago about nothing ever happening around here.
