Tuesday tidbits

So I got to thinking.....

I wonder if I could use this doll pattern

to make a morning lady.

The eyes would work;

the mustache not.

 

I stuck my turkey neck out

last weekend and volunteered

to write some short stories about residents

for our new condo newsletter.

The first one will be about our neighbors

who ride a bicycle built for two.

With their dog.

 

Today I purchased the final construction supplies

for the ring-bearer pillow.

I'll get it done lickity-split.

The bride thinks I've been working

my fingers to the bone for weeks.

Shhhhhh!

 

I gave up the woodcarving class.

It's all about priorities.

I wonder if they missed me yesterday?

I think I can figure it out for myself.

I'll keep a supply of bandages handy.

 

Mr. Gadget and I are considering

shipping our bicycles to the Calcondo.

It was my brilliant idea.

Here, we have to drive a long way to the

woodsy, hilly bike paths.

There, we can drive a short distance to

a mostly-flat path along the beach.

 

This summer I'll be attending my

50th high school reunion.

I've known both of the women

organizers since kindergarten.

One had a doll with beautiful clothes--with sequins

and fur and satin--all handmade

by her mother.

The other begged me to play marbles

with her in the dirt.

She always won and I kept having to

buy new marbles.  She had an older brother

who routinely socked us in the arm.

 

Tomorrow I'm getting a haircut.

After that I'll begin my new life

as a gray-haired lady.

I'm happy with my salt and pepper look.

I keep looking for those annoying, emerging roots

but find none.

I've deleted that worry from my worry list.

However, I've added a new worry to the list.

I'm worried about the dust bunnies.

They're reproducing much too quickly.
