Well, yes, I do know it is Friday...........Thursday just blew right on by me.

When I had my basement flood in October the insurance company came in and whisked out all of the items that had been damaged by water to repair and restore them. They got returned yesterday and I just cracked up - I have an electric frying pan? And look - a wonderful bird feeder - and a bird bath - and an electric ice cream maker.............who knew? They even cleaned up the old carpet shampooer - the one with the broken handle. Now I have a clean/broken carpet cleaner.

Some things sadly like books I loved have been ruined - and a few very old Snoopy toys have bitten the dust.

David HOORAY!!! - a brand new car. Enjoy the heck out of it - you deserve it!

Donna - well done!

Debbie - yes, I seem to know all about things that break - this has been my year for breakdowns and too much water!!
Even the toilet broke - TWICE!! I may have gained a pound or two - but this is ridiculous - can't just be me!

The Candy Drive as a fundraiser is one half over. All I have to do is breakdown $10,000 worth of candy with some helpers into individual orders - get everyone to claim their purchases and it is done. The money we earned will be used for our Scholarship presentations in June. It is a lot of work, but the result is well worth the time.

A drink? You betcha! I'm not sure about a Dirty Girl Scout though..........how about a rum and coke with a slice of fresh lime, please?

Laurie...what are we gonna do with you? Hope it hasn't been too painful for you.

I will check in on everyone again later............the fire looks great though.
