Mission

A good friend once said to me: "If a door opens in front of you - get off your ass and dance through it...laughing."

I'm trying, Nancy!

This & that

Look what was delivered yesterday - a thank you gift from Enmax!




A beautiful gift basket filled with gardening goodies. Look at this stuff...a planter, a tote bag, a vase, a pail with a ready-to-plant dahlia kit, a bag full of more dahlia bulbs, seeds, knee pads, 3 hand tools, a couple of solar lights, a Welcome To My Garden sign, glow sticks, a roll of twist ties, a nice pair of pruners AND gardening gloves! Wow!




And as if that wasn't enough, there was another little gift bag with this handy dandy mini solar charger for phone, I-pad etc. Pretty cool eh?




Other random stuff...

I usually lose (get trounced!) when playing Lexulous against the computer, But every once in a while I get a good word in. See? I got Cowling(s). Sure, I still lost, but it's always fun to get my name in there.




I actually won a game of computerized Mexican Train. I have a better chance of winning against my computer friends than I do against the real people, but I miss the MEXICAN TRAIN call and the clicky noise of the dominos.




The Smashed Potatoes that I pinned from the Pinterest site were a hit.




But the Hash Brown Casserole that we had for breakfast today was just okay. Unfortunate really, because there's enough to feed a dozen people.




My money laundering experiment.




Remember the big hailstorm that we had a couple of weeks ago? I meant to post this earlier, but forgot. This is 19th street the next morning. Kinda pretty, I thought.




Taz continues to improve daily. The stitches still look like Hell, but they don't seem to be bothering her too much. We're still keeping a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't scratch at them and tear them, but so far, so good.

Had to scroll down a few posts to see why you got a gift from Enmax.
You're a bloggin' fool these days, lady. An appropriately snarky comment was left on the relevant post

I'm so happy about Taz and her benignity. Truly made my day. Ironically, I have a friend in hospital who won't get his results for a month. Maybe he should have gone to a vet.

Did Enmax send gardening stuff after seeing the state of your garden? Btw, when do we get to see Dan's video?

Try to keep up, Carl. There'll be a quiz in November.

Yes, I'm sure the Enmax rep took a look at the garden and thought, man, this woman needs help!

We're thrilled with Taz's benignity too. Her benign-ness isn't too happy right now, though. She won't leave one of the incisions alone, so she has to wear a cone :(

By the way, I miss Mexican Train! We've been too lazy to teach it to guests, so it lies dormant.

The computerized version of Mexican Train is a bit different from the real game, you're gonna have to teach us all over again.
