Mother’s Day, May 14, 2017

Happy Mother’s Day, Melinda!
It was a wonderful day!! OR “wunnerful”, as Laurence Welk used to say!! (Google him, millennials; a famous band leader, had a TV show).
Went to church with DD1. DD2 called. I had a Steak-n-Shake Garlic burger, fries, {What GF diet??} and a purple milkshake.

Only the best purple shake in the world!!
[Thank you Sweet Friend, for giving me the gift card!]
Talked to my Mama; Sis, Brother, and Shirley texted me.
Went to new house, and had a Nap!! Very important part of any great day!!
When I got up, unpacked 4 boxes. Purged a small Walmart bag of new stuff from crafts, and threw away a half way full, small moving box of old legal papers. They were from getting my disability in 2012. But first I tore off all my names, addresses, and Social numbers!! I shredded the tiny pile of that stuff, by hand even!!
By that time I was starving, well no, not literally!! So DD1 got us each small pizzas. She likes pepperoni, yuck!! I only want cheese.
Or, hamburg, and onions, if we’re getting fancy!!
Then, Sweet Friend came over, and asked where the screws were to put together the beige leather recliner. How would I know?? I didn’t take it apart!! And the take-apart-ee, never mentioned it to me. But, DD1 and I had already decided we didn’t want it, due to its poor condition, and lack of space for it in living room.

So, when he said “Well, I can’t put it back together without the screws! And then you can’t sit on it!” We both looked at each other, with smiles on our faces, and said in unison, “Put it outside, by the road!” He was flabbergasted! We couldn’t really mean that! Yup, we did. I said “Watch! Somebody will take it!” (I’ll be watching to see if that’s true. But even if they don’t, trash pick up is in the morning, so 1 way or another, it will be gone!! And I don’t care which way either!)
So, my first purge, at the new place has already occurred! And I couldn’t be happier!!
Finally, to finish out my perfect day, I got kisses, and hugs,

Nothing could be sweeter!
Yay for purging! 🙂

Mine exceeded my expectations. I spent the entire day with my son and one of my grandsons, even having some one on one time with my son. It was perfect!

Great job on the first purge! But we can’t be friends anymore. You don’t like pepperoni! *gasp* Okay. Half cheese, half pepperoni. And my homemade breadsticks.
