Beautiful Day
++++++++++
I'm off today. The morning was a relaxation-fest. I've been a little more productive this afternoon. I fertilized and watered the front lawn, washed my car, deposited some $ in my bank, and went to the grocery store to get fixins for stew.
There was a slow-moving, gray-haired, little old lady in the produce section with me. When we passed, she smiled at me like my mom used to. I smiled back and said hello. I felt sad and my heart hurt a little. Strike that. My heart hurt a lot.

Nothing else of note to write. Here are some of the stew fixins:

Memory Du Jour:
Circa 1976
Salmon fishing with my mom in Puget Sound. We were visiting friends on Vashon Island and went to the mainland for the day to rent a little outboard to fish. Mom loved fishing. We fished and tooled around all day. Didn't catch shit, but it was fun. It was adventurous when we got caught in an eddy that the little boat strained to get through.

It was pretty today. Nice that you smiled at that woman. Sorry it made you sad. But maybe you made HER day....
Aw, Carlos... That is the good stuff. You probably made her day as well. I have had that happen to me and it left me with a peaceful feeling. Now gimme some stew!
I bet you did make her day!
I'm glad somebody is having nice wather, its cold and sunless here in Idaho.
Enjoy your weekend!!! :)
Oh yeah, I'm kinda use to your old template. Not saying I don't like this one, you know how we get use to things. I bet if you leave this up we may get use to it over time.
Ivy:I didn’t think about it that way. I wish I would’ve thought about that then. Thanks for the perspective
James: I’ll send it book rate. Just no guarantees of freshness on arrival!
Whistler: Ditto what I said to Ivy. Just didn’t think about that. I will next time
Nay: Ditto again! Sorry to hear it’s cold and sunless it got up to ninety fucking four degrees here today!!! That’s so wrong. I may go back to the dark blog….This one’s a little hard on the eyes. I’ll mess with a Test blog I have and see if I can find something dark but different.
