Finished replacing some window coverings in our RV yesterday. So much nicer and easier to use than the heavy Venetian blinds we had.

Now to see what the next job on the Honey Do list is. :biggrin:

dragged into Starbucks early this morning - so sleep deprived, thanks Callie. Woman ahead of me is taking a long time with her order, then she pays with change. So I place my order next, young Man says just give me a sec I have to count this change - so he does. Then says " thats 1.26" I said no, I order a Frapp, he replies the woman ahead of you gave extra to pay.it forward

I thank her, and as we wait for our orders we chatting. Her Mom has a new puppy too., and she heading to visit.

Our orders come up same time, and there is a mistake with mine - I was given a large Mocha latte ( cute with a lil heart) I politely say no not what I asked for, Barrista says have this while I made your Frapp. So I turn to the woman who paid for most of my order and said take it to your Mom. We did everything but hug I sw

Nice story Norma. You must be jangled with caffeine now and tomorrow
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Trump is a fraud but he has finally admitted that there is famine in Gaza and it's okay to agree with him, unless you have different statistics than the State Department.

Shopping on Amazon, decide I NEEDED some shrimp chips for a snack. Lots of brands then I find Shrimp wafers, even better with soup.
Order arrived late, I opened this morning while having coffee. Very small bag :(
Look closer , says on the bag - " For CATFISH"
HAHAHA I ordered fish food! And so I go to return, nope, no returns either
I laughed and snorted.
Sigh, the Life of a Puppy Mama is hard

Where's a cop when you need one?

Walking down a city street the other day I saw a woman yelling, arms flailing and basically acting crazy. She was crossing a street against the traffic, a couple of people actually had to duck and get out of her way.
And the next car to enter the intersection? Yup, a cop car.
He pulls over, jumps out and grabs her. "Up against the wall mother."
He spins her around and out come the cuffs.
And within less then three minutes she's in the car.

That made us smile.

I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.

He cuffs his own mom?

Home again, family happy to see me. Pup is excited (and also annoyed apparently - Dad is now his favourite).

Phone is being repaired, and may be a cheaper fix than originally thought, so the rest of the pics should be available soon!
