Happy St. Patrick's Day

Top o' the mornin' to you, ladds and lasses!  Here's one of my all-time favorite jokes, that just happens to be an Irish joke.

Paddy O'Bryan was not home at his usual hour, and his wife Kathleen was fuming, as the clock ticked later and later. Finally, about 3:00 AM she heard a noise at the front door, and as she stood at the top of the stairs, there was her husband, drunk as a skunk, trying to navigate the stairs.

"Do you realize what time it is?" she said.

He answered, "Don't get excited, I'm late because I bought something for the house."

Immediately her attitude changed, and as she ran down the stairs to help him, she said, "What did you buy for the house, dear?"

His answered, "A round of drinks!"

Newspaper Update

 With the overnight and early morning storms, I was for sure we wouldn't get a newspaper this morning. Or if we got one, I would spend a half an hour with the blow dryer drying out the wet pages.  But much to my surprise, the paper was in the box and was inside a plastic bag - all safe and sound.  We were happy. 

Stay tuned.

More Bad Luck

 It's only Wednesday, and it is the second time we have not received a newspaper this week.  If the Old Man was tech-savvy, I would cancel the newspaper subscription and have him read it online, but he's 90 and if he pays for a newspaper, by hell he should get it.  I called and complained again this morning.  Of course, they were apologetic, and said they would credit our account again for today's missed delivery.  Stay tuned for an update tomorrow morning.

Quote Of The Year

 A good friend from my Bible Study Fellowship group met me and the Old Man for dinner yesterday at our new favorite Mexican restaurant. She wasn't able to come to his 90th birthday party, and still wanted to celebrate with us.  We had a great time talking and laughing and telling stories. 

On our way home from the restaurant, the Old Man said, and I quote "You've made some great new friends in your group.  Don't do something stupid to disappoint them or Jesus."  Believe me - I'm not going to.

Covid 19 Update

 At the grocery store yesterday, I noticed that there were more shoppers masked up than in the past few months.  It's hard to believe that four years ago last week was when we had the first case of Covid and the country pretty much shut down.  The Old Man and I are very fortunate to have made it through the past four years without getting Covid; I pray that record continues.

Update From The Compound

 I am happy to report that today's visit from the plumber wasn't bad at all.  He was able to use a sawzall and cut the hose fixture off of the spigot, so he didn't have to replace it.  We are good to go.  I was thankful that he didn't hose me - pardon the pun.  He could have said he would need to replace the spigot and charge me another hour + of labor but he didn't.  I will for sure use this plumbing company in the future.
