more new stuff.........

Gail and I went to the Memorial for my friend yesterday afternoon and then had a very nice drive North through the countryside to meet Leah and Page. Everytime the brother called my friends full name I looked up - she has my first name and her married name is the same as my maiden name so it felt like he was calling my name. Strange. The moon coming home was unbelievably beautiful. Gail almost killed herself trying to get a picture of it. I think she finally got one that was pretty good. Everyone agreed that I did a good job on the ride home in spite of having to keep my headlights on bright on the back roads until cars met us. I need to have my mechanic adjust my headlights and I think it will improve my night driving considerably. It was so nice waking up with a sweet smelling little girl snuggled up beside me this morning. Ann came by and shared a Red Velvet Daisy Cake with me after which Leah and Page loaded most of their stuff into her van and they all headed down East. Not long after they left, I got this picture over the phone from Leah saying that Biscuit was very excited about going to the beach too. Don't you love that sweet face? Kurt wasn't feeling well yesterday so we all avoided him like the plague. He is supposed to get off early tomorrow so BigD and I are looking forward to seeing him tomorrow night. Okay - for those of you who know BigD you are probably thinking by now - "what has Jane done with BigD and who is this man who keeps saying - yeah - go ahead". So everyone - take a gander at my new French Door Samsung Refrigerator. It is a tiny bit smaller than the old one I have which is good because we had to brutalize the bottom of our cabinet to squeeze that bugger in after we had the new kitchen floor installed. It turns out that Leah has seen this one up close and personal - her Mom just purchased one and I think they looked at every fridge in every store in their area. :-) The girl I ordered it from said it will be a few weeks before it gets here because she had to order it. BigD just called to say he had gone to the other Lowe's and it was there. Hmmm - what to do? I think I'll just wait - we are going out of town anyway and this will give me time to clean out the old one to be taken away. I also got a response from where I ordered gifts for Leah and Page2 and they promise I will get them by the end of next week. I was so hoping to have them by this weekend but it isn't to be. S0 - Happy Anniversary to US on our new W/D and Refrigerator! We are also getting the carpet cleaned before Page gets here at the end of December - not sure when she is coming yet. Sad to say - this new carpet will never be as good as our old one was - but that's the way things are made these days - less quality - more money . I also got the approval of Bentley on this purchase - he assured me I had gotten a great deal and a quality product. BigD just called to say he saw it. I asked him how he liked it and he said what he usually says - "alright". LOL. Hard to get that man fired up. Will have to admit he was a little more excited about the new W/D but once he has water coming out of the refrigerator door again - I think his excitement will kick in. Are you wondering why the picture of the guy in the Pilgrim outfit? This is what Bentley sent me to show me the "costume" he plans to wear while cooking a turkey on Thursday - Oh yeah - you gotta love this man. I love a self-confident man who knows how to implement "costumes" into his life. Um hum. Bet he is thinking to himself about now - "what? - No! she didn't - did she? - No! she wouldn't put that picture on her blog - would she?" Guess it is time for him to learn a valuable lesson. I really did howl when I saw this picture - LOVE a man with a strong character AND a great sense of humor! Do you know what is really funny about this picture? I can see Kurt standing there in it - he also LOVES costumes. He has even been known to wear make-up when he has been in some plays. So I guess Bentley and Kurt have a lot more in common than their coloring - both handsome and blond with blue eyes, both strong enough to be who they are without pretention and they both love my Page. Nice..... Smiling.......
