Lost And Found

 The Old Man has a favorite long sleeve lightweight sweatshirt with a few buttons.  He loves this shirt more than any other shirts in his closet.  Every time I take the shirt to the laundry, I pray over it that it will last another washing.  Yesterday I told him I was going to get another almost identical sweatshirt to the laundry to get it softened up. He and I looked through his closet and dresser drawers last night and couldn't find it.  I knew I had bought one a couple of years ago.  Fast forward to a few minutes ago,  I went through his closet again and found the sweatshirt. I showed it to him and he said it's too heavy for summer but he would sure wear it this winter. Persistence pays off. 

Update:  I just bought him another lightweight sweatshirt with a few buttons on eBay. I showed him the picture of and he's happy.  My work is done. 

Thank You, Mother Nature

 Yesterday morning, one of the weather forecasts I read said we were going to get 2-3 inches of rain here in the Ville last night.  Luckily we got a shower.  Thank goodness for that. 

Happy Cinco De Mayo

 TWIT and I would like to wish you, faithful readers, a very happy Cinco de Mayo.  The Old Man and I are going to celebrate this afternoon by having chicken fajitas, guacamole, and a Margarita,  

Ole!

Derby Wrap Up

First of all, I want to report tta the aforementioned drama here at The Compound is under control and no longer a drama.

It was a busy week getting things ready for our now annual Derby weekend party with the kinfolk.  But it all came together.  We had a lot of fun packed into two and a half days.  There was no drama, and that's all I can ask for.

The Old Man and I had a nice nap after our early supper.  Now to tackle the new week.  

Updates From The Compound

 Everything is cleared, cleaned and ready for our kinfolk to come on Friday for the Derby weekend.

I don't have the energy to get into it now but I'm dealing with a drama here at The Compound.  I am putting it off and will deal with it on Monday when the kinfolk leave.  

Stay tuned. 

My Typical Luck

 We're in get things together mode for our annual Derby weekend festivities at the Compound, and now the freezer in the garage isn't freezing.  It's cold, but not freezing.  I honestly don't have the patience to deal with it now.  I found the owners manual that my Sweet Mother had tucked away and went out and set the temp to Fast Freeze.  We'll see if it works.  

Stay tuned. 

And They're Off

 Today kicks off Derby week here in the Ville.  The Great Balloon Race and the Mini Marathon are going on right now.

My Favorite Cousin and her Dear Husband will arrive on Friday for their annual Derby weekend visit.  The Old Man and I have our food and adult beverage list made out, and now we just wait.
