I was so surprised to see a lone hummingbird today at the feeder. He stayed for a while and then disappeared. It is cooler and supposed to rain. I didn't want to do anything today, I toyed with staying in bed and having Mom ask me if I were sick ~ but reality prevailed and Amy called and needed some help. I helped her set up her new headboard for her bed. It is gorgeous and makes a huge difference. They sent slats for the queen sized bed instead of the legs for the headboard, but the headboard is so big, that it is ok without legs. If the legs ever appear, it will be taller and then she will have to raise the picture over the bed. But for right now, it is very nice and she won't whack her head on the wall. Which is always a plus.
I am watching a replay of game three of the playoffs between the Orioles and the Tigers. Norris versus Price. And you know, it is just as enjoyable. It is 50-50 if I am loving watching Detroit get their ass handed to them or if I am just loving watching the Orioles win. I will be watching tomorrow evening for game 1 against the Royals.
Ok ~ heads up everyone! The holidays are fast approaching and I know that I have either tantalized you or annoyed you with the fact that I am working on a present and have purchased a present. Plus, I got the Christmas stationary and envelopes for Mom's Christmas card letters. SO...............get your lists percolating. Toss a few ideas out there. Don't forget, I am helping Mom ~ so this goes for the grandchildren, too. If you read this......you know who you are. Get some wish lists out there on Amazon, or drop me a note. I did call Maren - on the telephone - and left a message. I know, she doesn't (a) answer those calls and (b) respond later to those calls. I should have left a text.
Amy and I are taking Mom to Homestead Gardens tomorrow. We had such a good time at the brief visit with Lori, we are going again and hoping to miss the crowds.
By the way, for those people who go to Myrtle Beach, here are a couple of places to eat that were reviewed in the Washington Post as pretty darn good:
Malibu of Surfside - "deliciously authentic Italian" and Chive Blossom on Pawley's Island - and they deliver! So, plan ahead!
Don't you love it when it all works out?
Love,
Leslie
