Whatever!

Jamestown, California

This was our table at lunch today. Thinking deep thoughts while grubbin on simple food. (#4 Turkey Tom is my fav!)

My cute lil patio, living a compact condo life! This inch worm was massive, at least 6 inches long, wow.

Where is the Remote?!

It’s been an ongoing mystery that has FINALLY been solved!! I’ve lived in my current place for a year. For most of that year I’ve been missing the remote to my DVD player. Of course, I blamed my grandkids and after several searches the remote showed up. ..only to be lost AGAIN a short time later. Second time, still blaming the little monsters who are 7 year old twins, boy/girl. These two are always working hard to “outshine” eachother. Only recently have I noticed they both are in the habit of walking around the house with remote in hand. Caught my grandson red-handed heading upstairs to use the bathroom. I figured out it’s to prevent the other twin from swooping it up and changing the channel or movie on Netflix. I quickly put a stop to that, told both of them that was not allowed. I know it will take many reminders but if my remote goes missing again, HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL!

Sooooo back to the missing remote. I always put these kids to work. Some time ago, I asked my granddaughter to put away a few packs of bath soap we’d just bought. I keep them in a bin on the very top shelf of my linen closet. I took the bin down from the top shelf, set it on the bathroom counter and she did as I asked. Only she must have had the remote control in her hand. Because there it was yesterday when I pulled it down to get a bar of soap. I thought to myself, how could I have not seen it last time I put soap away. Then I realized that because I live (and love) a giant (he’s 6'2"), he’d been the one adding the new soap to the bin and reaching a bar for me when I needed one. The bin hadn’t been taken down from that top shelf in some time giving that remote a nice, fragrant, hiding place. Never a dull moment…

Just wait til the monsters come visit on Sunday!
