Life has been cruising along at a good clip with only wrinkles in the path as opposed to mountains. The loot for princess pie's birthday party arrived it is so cute for the boys they will get pirate outfits including swords, hooks, eye patches, earrings and pirate hats and the girls will get tutus fairy wings wreaths for their heads and wands.
As always God has blessed me with truly magnificent folk in my life. My neighbors trimmed my hedges while I was out one day. It looks great.

CAUGHT AGAIN

What is it about Fabulous Trainer Dude is he psychic. I Had a stress full day racing all around the state, fortunately it is a small state, before I went to work. Starting off at the Kettles where I was the recipient of still another mean spirited yet heartfelt berating. Went to work discovered that I was unprepared for mother nature's reminder that I am a girl. well what is the natural solution? Ice cream of course. So I help myself to one, scoop some out and shovel it into my mouth but who should arrive with home grown spinach for me. Yes you guessed it. Mr FTD. I can tell you this, a boiled lobster is not more red than I was. Was he critical? no he says enjoy your ice cream you look like a girl who has had a long day. How blessed am I

ON FUMES

Well you know how I explained that money is like water in my open flat hands.Yeah, well, I had a little budgeting SNAFU a few weeks ago and am still trying to recover. So yesterday I cleaned out my active checking account of $2.00 raided my piggy bank and my penny jar for another 2.50 and armed with four dollars and fifty cents went to gas up my SUV where the needle was already below the empty line. Surprisingly, this was enough cash to raise the needle to the first line. I was pretty sure this was not enough gas since getting to the Castle in Resortport is 65 or so miles away. However I keep an account out there that I am not supposed to touch. It is deliberately far away to stave of too much misappropriation of funds and for the most part it works. Because God loves me, even though the gas light came on just past plastic ville approximately 15 miles from my home, I was able to get all the way to Resortport to steal cash (from myself) for the gassing of my car. We got safely to the Kettles and enjoyed some time with them before I had to work.

PRINCESS PUDDLEJUMPER AND MOMMY

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, we went to the Kettles and sunbathed on the deck. On Saturday afternoon there was a brief but intense rain shower that left the street riddled with puddles. Chantmeister, Princess pie and I decided to go for some ice cream on the jutty of the little resort town that we were in. princess pie who can't seem to go anywhere without her faerie wings and tutu naturally had to wear them. While we were walking to the ice cream shop princess pie was careful not to miss jumping in a single puddle. She was soaked to the skin fortunately the weather was warm enough so we got ice cream anyway. On the return trip to the castle princess pie found a place to sit where she and mommy could enjoy their ice cream. As is my nature i could not miss the photo op so cute
