Used To Be
So I went outside sat in on the benches drinking my coffee trying to figure out where we should start first to fix up all the damage from the oh so many visits of Old Man Winter and his Snow and Strong Powerful Winds, the ice too. For the back of our property looks as if it went through a war with so many trees and large branches down and branches that didn't belong to us. So much to do but, where should we start.
Yes I must say that winter did take quite a toll on out property her in the "Little House In The Woods".
Hmmmm think we best start with taking down the rest of the car port that the winter forgot to take down and build a new one, a much stronger one. How this one ever passed inspection in this town I'll never know . Guess it was some passing of the old might buck. Now we have to pay for that crook or two that did this illegal inspection. I guess it happens in allot of place though.
Oh well I knew I had to go in get ready to go out and run some errands, like pay Boscovs a .01 cent bill. Think it cost them allot more then .01 cent just to get it to me. I meant think about it the computer had to generate it a machine had to place it in an envelope another machine had to seal it then last but not least another machine had to put postage on it, All that just to get about 5 miles to my home. But, if I didn't pay it on time then I would have been hit with a late fee of $35.00 and interest on .01 cent. Mike and I laughed so hard at this penny bill, he said that I should just forget it till I explained what it would cost me for not paying the penny to Boscov's. So I took my bill and my penny into Boscovs paid my bill in full and the Cashier laughed just as hard as Mike and I did when I got the bill, she said that she has seen bills for .89 cents but never in her 12 years of working there ever saw a bill for a penny. Well it was a good laugh not a bad way to start off your afternoon. Mike would not go in for he just couldn't do it for he felt it was the dumbest thing I could have done on such a nice day being it was not do till the end of April. I like to pay my bills the same say that they come in, you will always see me go right to the desk write a check out for the bill put a stamp on it and out to the mail it goes. NO I didn't pay Boscovs a with a check I actually paid cash of one penny.
Then we went to Taco Belle my favorite place to eat. I had one and half soft shell tacos and an carmel apple empanada oh so delicious. Mike had 3 hard shell tacos my other one and half I could not eat.
We went out with some friends to an Irish Pub, to see an old friend that was the Best Man in our weddding, I ordered the mac-cheese bites, they were so very tiny and you only get 5 of them for $7.00 I didn't like them, then Mike got the Buffalo Strips with the waitress asking him how many do you want he looked at all of us and then the waitress said that the small order had 3 so he got that them for $7.00 our friends ordered nachos with salsa didn't get much there either but, they were only $5.00, then I had 2 sodas Mike had 2 scotch and waters and out friends had 3 beers each and the grand total of our bill was $50.00 plus a $10.00 tip ~ Yes we all felt as though we got ripped off for we all went over the check to see that my first soday was $2.50 for a little glass and my second one on the check was printed out as 2@ $2.50 this not making any sense to us we called over the waitress she explained when you order Scothch and soda you have to pay for the soda Mike ordered Scotch and water so she went in the back and came out with some BS story so we just paid the bill and got out of there knowing we were not going back there again. We went back to our friends house had a very nie time allot of great laughs for I think we all needed that with being locked away in our homes do to the weather. My friend made a Cappaccino with Amoretto for me I enjoyed that very much they all drank beer and one drank beer and water. It felt so wonderful to be out with our friends don't remember feeling this happy in a long time. We got home about 2:30a.m. it was worth it though even though when we let the Irish Pub it was quite cold out and no I did not bring a sweater or jacket but, once we got in the car I was alright.
Then on the 6th Mike made me pancakes for breakfast, that was just so thoughtful of him. Had my coffee got dressed and out the door back out into beautiful weather again. We knew that since it was so nice that it was time to open up the grille for dinner so we did. Then we left to go and do some light food shopping. To nice of a day to spend it in a store. Got done rather fast, then back to the "Little House In The Woods" Turned on the TV to see that NASXAR was not exactly racing for it was pouring down rain in TX oh well I got the salmon fillets all seasoned up, Mike got the grill going then on they went, oh that sure reminded me of summer for we do eat allot of Salmon on the grille during the summer, guess because it just tastes so good. We had Amish Macaronni Salad that we got while we were shopping. Have not had that since last summer. Have to say our dinner was just out of this world we enjoyed it so much we both wanted more but instead we had a slice of apple pie Mike brought home Friday night in the rain. Then I asked Mike if he would take a walk with me and he said yes. Of course I still have to take it easy even easier then before, for the breathing is just getting allot worse but, let's not get into that for it is what it is. sO Mike and I walked up and across to the main road and then all the way bak to the "Little House In The Wood", it actually made me feel very proud of myself that I accomplished something and it made me happier. So I asked Mike if we could take a walk every night as long as the weather would permit us to and he said sure.
You see I need walking and so does he and Mike really misses walking Shiloh since she went to Rainbow Bridge so I thought to myself why not walk me for I need the exercise so he will be walking me for as far as I can go then he will bring walk me back to "The Little House In The Woods" and then go back out and walk his full walk like he used to with Miss SHiloh. At least we are still getting some exercise he needs it for his diabetes and I need it for m heart and for me to feel happy.
On Monday the 7th April Showers came oh did they ever but that is O K for that will bring some May Flowers. But there was no walking do to the rain.
Beautiful Flowers
Honestly do not know what happened to my computer but once I switched to another mouse it is running a little better just the screen is not looking so good but, still can use it. Needless to say I did deactivate my FB account. It was getting to be very boring there any way. I will miss some of my friends from school in VT and other friends that I made on there but I really doubt that I will be going back to FB any time too soon.
Well after dinner tonight hmmm today yes it is the 8th, we did go for a walk and it put me in a good mood for I was rather down and out with all that went on with the computer, printer, and iPad.
Well that is all that has been going on here at "The Little House In The Woods" that I care to talk about.
LET'S ALL JUST ENJOY THE SPRING WHILE IT IS HERE
SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE COLD AND SNOW AND ICE
SEE YA!!!!
Easter Almost Here
