Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
Oh my. I don't think I could top the story you shared. That was a ridiculous set of circumstances. She never let me live that down either, but all it took was some of that TarnX stuff so no long term harm was done to the punch bowl. I am the only one with the long term harm in terms of being haunted by that phone call (I had a few beers in me at that point too) but I remember answering with a loud Happy New Year and then... silence, followed by my Dad informing me very solemnly that my Grandma had passed away. Talk about not knowing how to respond. Pretty much swore off drinking after that one.
ReplyDeleteI can distinctly remember mixing bleach and ammonia together to clean the basement floor thinking that would get the tile 'really' clean. Well, after almost asphyxiating I realized my faux pas. Really needed to pay more attention in chemistry class that year.... lol
