Random Thots …

Mother’s Day weekend was a potpourri of expressions and impressions for me this year. Things heard and seen … in random order (of course!).

Margo wowed us all with her “drop the mic” performance at her tap-dancing recital.

Grandmothers wear funny underwear and can take their teeth and gums out.

Putting a Fabric store next to a Dollar Tree store is an example of taking unfair advantage of me but I DID find some great deals on some fabric that I’ll be using soon.

My grand-daughters are not naive enough to believe that Grampy spanks Grammy in order to make her behave herself when she visits them … in fact … they are of the opinion that he is “too old to spank her”.

It’s almost impossible to buy coffee at a convenience store while traveling without also getting a doughnut or a cookie to go with it.

Winston Churchill was a master of using the English language to insult people … and alternatively compliment the same people when the situation suited him.

I am capable of resisting efforts to micro-manage my activity of making egg in the hole breakfast for the munchkins!

There is great and satisfying joy to be had in seeing my daughter and her mother spend several hours together doing nothing but “being together and doing ‘stuff'”.

Texas Roadhouse knows how to make steak … sweet potatoes and hot dinner rolls!

It is possible to develop a special affection for God’s people after interacting with them and preaching in their pulpit only three times.

If VOYA really wants me to call them back as soon as possible, why do they leave that message on my phone at 4:59 pm on Friday when they close their offices for the weekend at 5:00 pm?

Watching my neighbor gingerly walk a grid search pattern in ankle high grass with a plastic green bag on one hand and an orange glove on the other … bending over every three or four steps to pick something up with the green bagged hand … tying the green bag and tossing it onto a growing pile before moving on another few steps makes me glad I don’t have a dog. 😉

I might actually enjoy watching the LEGO movies.

Pineapple Mango Chicken would be much better without the chewy breaded chicken and with the “melt-in-your-mouth” chicken that is usually featured in most Chinese food dishes.

Grammy is really a special lady without whom I would be a much poorer and incomplete person!
