Happenings, Thankings

Several things happened yesterday.

Parker and I spent the morning at my parent's house where we:

Shattered a glass pitcher on the tiled kitchen floor, and

broke the wind chime hanging from a tree in the front yard.

It was a day of destruction for Parker and me.

Yesterday afternoon, however, our next door neighbor came by the house to introduce herself, and bringing with her two dozen bran muffins. Bran muffins are absolutely my favorite kind and I hadn't had them in years. Time was when I would have picked out the raisins, but not these. They are delicious.

What nice thing can one do for an elderly couple next door, not knowing what sort of dietary restrictions they may live under?

Speaking of thanking, Mary and Danny came by the house Friday afternoon, and Danny did a lot to help Michael work out our plumbing problems. Everything is fixed now. So we're wondering, what nice thing can we do for Mary and Danny to thank them for being such good neighbors?

You asked for suggestions about a gift to give an "elderly couple" and then said, "speaking of, Mary and Danny." They will be pleased to learn that you regard them as an "elderly couple."

Ambiguity is funny.

Noted, corrected, etc.

Oh, come on! Don't fix it; just flip me off, tell me to go jump in the lake, or some such.

Isn't that what I did?

If you did, it was too subtle for me to notice.
