When I hear that term, I always think of a sailboat. I'll never forget the day we went on our first sailboat ride with Dwight's niece and her hubby. Most of that day we were constantly jumping because their little girls were all over the boat. I loved feeling the wind and sun but when I went downstairs, I knew exactly what seasickness is for the first time. I had to lay flat on the bench or I would have hurled all over that boat. Once I made it back upstairs, I was OK. A sailboat moves differently in the water from a motorboat. BigD said it was .... o k...:-). He finally told me, "I could have made it over here and back three times in my boat" and we both knew right then he was not one for sailboats if going any distance at all. I finally got everyone assigned for the 5th Anniversary Party coming up. I had forgotten how much time and work that takes. I also had Gerl bring a sister by and she took a big box of the videos I got rid of. I have just a few more I'm giving to another sister. I also pulled out two
containers and have a bag of old clothes to go out the door. I really have two bags - one for trash and one for Goodwill. Page would be so proud. I was so upset yesterday when I opened my bread, chips, cookie drawer and found evidence of another tiny little mouse. I had to toss everything and clean out the drawer. When I told Kurt, he said he was going to bring something that will take care of it. Good. I am so tired of BigD insisting on using a trap - how archaic! Let's poison the little buggers. That picture makes them look so cute but let them eat all your food and leave their little dropping behind as souvenirs. Kurt called to tell me he wanted to bring Harry with them for the weekend and our family reunion. He is Leah's cousin and the one who became a licensed masseuse. I should have said - "on the condition he brings his table" but that would have been rude wouldn't it? Now I have to clean the office a little so he can make his way to the daybed. Kurt said he might take him fishing at a local pond somewhere tomorrow. He really is a nice guy and I'm looking forward to seeing him. I had two of my studies over the phone and paid some bills. I also sent out the last email to family to remind them of the reunion Sunday. I mentioned some of the things we are bringing as a Belma's girls - Pot Roast, Lasagna, butterbeans (really baby lima) and corn, roasted vegetables, chocolate pie, chocolate bread pudding, corn pudding, raw vegetables, pizza, etc., etc.,. Most of the desserts are Mom's recipes. I'm going to really miss Page this year but maybe she will be able to make it next year. I've been busy and on the phone most of the day but still have so much to do - BUT HEY - at least I'm making headway....
