Oops ;o(

About once a year, Bill has an incident with runaway beard clippers.  The previous time it happened, he was able to salvage a goatee, but not this time.  The incident took some of his beard out right in the middle of his chin.  I foolishly didn't get a picture of the "before" but here is the "after"...

He purposely made a silly face but he wasn't happy and I can't get used to him being bald faced ;o)

Wondering Why?

Lady Tessa watching her papa mow the lawn and wondering shy SHE can't be on THAT side of the fence?!

Tiny Little Vase

Wendy gifted me this little vase several years ago.  It's perfect for springtime blossoms like Lily of the Valley and Lamium.

It sits on the shelf in my bathroom, among the clay shapes Ella and I made.

Special things from my special girls.

Hello Saturday

Started the day by dropping Tessa's bowl, full of food, in the sink and breaking it.  Damn it!!!  I got the bowl when I worked for the AWS and it was Titan's.  We left her in her crate, got gas at Sam's ($3.09), had breakfast at McDonalds, washed and cleaned the truck and went to Mercer's for our coffee, cookie and cribbage.

It was busy today and there was a group of several teachers sitting on the couches next to us.  They were VERY LOUD and it was hard to think.  Good grief, use your inside voices!

We only played one game, which I managed to win, although it was close.

We stopped by Walgreens so Bill could pick up a prescription, then to the pet store by Publix to get a new bowl.  I didn't really like any of them but finally settled on one...$14 freakin' dollars.  We also needed some kibble to get us home to Maine, so we bought a 14 pound bag for $39 freakin' dollars.  WTF?!  Can't afford to buy anything these days.  Thanks Joe, you stupid ass. 

Came home and made dog food.  I managed to put twice as much rice as I needed into the water. OMG!  I scooped out the extra and dried it on a paper towel.  I think it will be fine.  I took Tessa out for while since no one was home next door.  She sat and looked for geckos.  

When the turkey was done, Bill took her for a ride to buy windshield wipers and brought back frappes!  Woohoo!

He visited with Dr. Steve after dinner. I took a shower, washed and dried my hair.  We started watching "Cardinal", which Dan suggested.

The Martineau's Come to Visit...Day 7, Last Day

We walked around Ollie's Pond since it will be the last cool day for awhile.  Ran into Wendy and Dan about half way around.  We had coffee on the harbor, got lunch at Arby's and ate in the truck, then did a little shopping at WM.  Sat outside and read for awhile and played with Tessa.  Bill took her for a walk, we fed her early and left her in her crate while we met Wendy and Dan at The Celtic Ray for dinner.

We met them at 6:00 and sat in one of the new gliders in front.  Our drinks looked nice in the late afternoon sun. 

Wendy and Dan had fish tacos, Bill had chicken fingers and I had the fish and chips.  After a great meal, we walked to the Harbor Scoops ice cream shop and Wendy treated us all to ice cream.  Yum!

It was a nice warm evening and we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset, one of the few we've seen this winter.

We met them back at their rental to pick up a few things, said our goodbyes and were home by 8:30.  

So nice to have them here, always sad to see them leave.

The Martineau's Come to Visit...Day 6

We met at Ollie's Pond at 11:00 and walked around the mile loop.

Some of the path is open,

While other sections are more secluded.

Bill, Tessa and I only went around once, Wendy and Dan went around again after we left.  They planned to spend the afternoon hanging out by the pool.

We got our coffees and sat on a bench at Bayshore Park, rather than in the truck, which is where we've sat most days.  

Wendy and Dan came over around 5:30 for dinner.  Bill grilled fillets to go along with the twice baked potatoes.  They brought green beans from the farmer's market, ice cream and a flourless torte.  We ate at 6:00, played three games of dominoes, had dessert and played three more games of dominoes. 

Of course, we had to celebrate Wendy's birthday again, with candles this time ;o)

We did have this outtake of Dan with torte on his teeth, which I didn't notice until Wendy mentioned it.

Dan won dominoes, Bill lost, again.  Dominoes is not Bill's game.  However, he's a good sport and a good loser (unlike someone we know who shall remain nameless.)
