Thursday 158 - GONE FISHIN'

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Ah, so I'm not going crazy.

I thought I was going crazy too! Glad we're still fishin' with our tea sets though. I wonder if anyone ever had tea while out in their row boat. Try balancing a teacup on your knee whilst you tip you cup (with spastic pinkie stuck out) with one hand and hold your fishing pole with the other hand. Hmmmm.....seems like there will have to be at least one other person along to do the rowing.....

That's what thermoses are for, silly - portable tea! When fishing from shore, however, teacup may be used, but it's not advisable, as you don't want to get the bait can and tea cup mixed up accidentally, I like my tea sans wormies, s'il vous plait.

Everybody reel in their lines, and put down the tea - and other cups - while we have a moment of silence for Laurie's Badger.

I feel like I have been soaked in sugar and bourbon.

Do you know what I went to on Saturday? A REAL TEA PARTY. It was a baby shower held at a local tea shoppe. China, crumpets, clotted cream, jam, sandwiches, scones, desserts and some wonderful baked cheese. Oh yes, and tea.

The whole time I was there I kept looking at the window expecting to see the Thursdays crowd pointing at me and my "pinkie finger" hooting and hollering.

It made me secretly smile - if they only knew!!

I thought of Thursdays today as I FINALLY finished polishing ALL the silver. I even took pics, but I'm too pooped to post them. I am selling the stuff as I don't ever want to have to go through this polishing ordeal again - what a messy chore!

I was at a charity event this past Saturday night and sat next to a woman whose husband collects antique silver, so I may even have a buyer without having to try too hard. We'll see. Otherwise, I'm posting it to Craigslist.

I'll take a cuppa anything!
