Solo Cups

 

Saturday at 7:30 AM, my groceries delivery from Wal-Mart appeared on my porch and as I carried the last bag inside, I thought what is this? Pulling it out of the bag I found 100 Red Square Bottom Red Solo Cups and Bob said what is that?
I stood at the end of his bed, holding it aloft, for him to see what neither of us even knew existed.
A small white car pulled in the driveway and a young man who looked like an NFL football player, ran up the driveway, I walked to the door and opened it before he made it to the porch, holding up the red cups and smiling.
His face split with a grin that lit up my porch, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU he said as he reached me, took the cups, and as he pumped my hand he said, I mean this, thank you sooo much.
He made my day Sparkle, I made his day Sparkle....

Sandwich Selfie of Beau

 


I was  sick, 2 nights in a row.. I threw up twice and paced 4 hours from, 9 pm to 1:30 am Tuesday and Wednesday had diarrhea with poo and rivulets of blood in it from 3:15 am to 9 am. I get really sick and Mama spends hours with me, holding, petting, hugging and following around the yard in the dark with 38 degrees. She wraps up like a mummy. It was so cold my ears were cold, and she wrapped my head in a baby blanket. 
Wed. Morning daddy fell, walking back to bed from breakfast with walker. PT came that day and cleared him, nothing broken. 
Mama went to her doctor Monday for 30 day check up on her new wonder drug, Lexapro and was changed from Lexapro to Zoloft because of one side effect. its been CRAZY-er because Mama took one Zoloft and fell back to where she was before all this started. She could not sleep, was wired, like on steroids, anxious, she yelled at daddy and me,  she was angry. She did not take a 2nd pill.

She called the doctor next day and said she stopped the Zoloft, and the doc sent a new prescription of the first drug.

Today at lunch, Mama said to Daddy from the kitchen where she was serving up his spaghetti, what do you want to drink, 7-UP or Gator-aid?
He did not answer. Just stared at the news he was watching.
Mama said in a LOUD VOICE
7-UP     OR   GATOR-AID?
Daddy said, Did you take that new pill? Your  yelling at me.
Mama said, there are things pills can't fix, answer me when I ask you a question.
Are you picking up what I am putting down?
We are Fine, we missed you



 I am sandwiched between my daddy

And My Mama, she has me as her screen saver on her laptop, and I am laying between her and Daddy. This is my happy place, when both are sitting beside me, I can sleep and know if anyone leaves the room, like say a trip to the kitchen,

Fog On Spiderwebs

 


Fog on the spider webs taken last week


Conversation in Nov. 2009 between Bob and I about Fog and fog photos I took at Emerson Park Preserve sometime in 2009.



Monday through Friday, we leave home at 5:17 AM to be at the YMCA gym at 5:30.
This morning, as I backed out of the driveway, I noticed the street lights had misty fog, only showing where the lights were. The fog was moving in.



Sandra: "Look at the mist in the lights"
Bob: "fog in the lights"
Sandra: "I just said that"
Bob: "No, you said mist, it's fog"
Sandra: "It's mist if you can see through it and it's only where the light is"
Bob: "It's fog no matter where it is"

 
And so forth and so forth, you fill in the blanks.
On the way home, at 6:30, the FOG was on the roadway and we could hardly see the trees and no sky at all, as I drove slowly through the FOG
Sandra: "now this if FOG"
Bob: "Right, this if Fog and it was fog an hour ago."
 

and so forth and so forth. Since I had no clue what to do for my daily post I decided to find a few fog pictures to go with the discussion. I started to say argument then thought quarrel.
