Hello Everyone,
I got up really early this morning – Domino woke me up with a little “gift”. Fortunately it was on one of the Oriental rugs so it didn’t stain the newly cleaned carpet. That was a blessing. Of course he was ready for breakfast right away. Nothing keeps a cat down for long!
I took a picture of my new “nurturing” plant. Also, my hibiscus is blooming too!
I want the bougainvillea to grow up the trellis and around the Palm tree. I’ll try to train it to do that, but I know I need to look out for the prickers. Wow “prickers” – haven’t used that word since I was a kid I don’t think – I guess the “adult” word is thorns.
Yesterday at work we had a little organization meeting about our “Variety Show” skit. I was pleasantly surprised that so many people wanted to be in it. It’s the same “crew” mostly, but a couple of new ones. Majorie is going to be in it this year which is nice. She is going to represent Haiti. We have the Philippines, Haiti, Chile, Greece, Cuba, and the USA (that’s me). Maybe a couple of other countries, I forget. I have a “cowboy hat” from a couple of years ago and I get to wear my jeans. Now I have another motivation to lose those “extra” pounds.
My printer isn’t working today – out of ink. I thought it was just one color that was “done” but now it’s saying the other 2 are “out” and it won’t print. So back to the office supply store this afternoon. I love Office Max down by the Courthouse. It is a beautiful store. I swear, I’m gonna work there one day.
Good news on the Gratitude Ticket sales – we’re up to 105 sold. I’m putting in a deposit today for 37 tickets. So it’s getting done. Still waiting to hear from a lot of “salespeople” aka Intergroup Reps. My emails are “too long” so says Bill and he’s right so I’ll just send out something short and sweet next time. Writing a “blog” gives me a tendency to be “long winded”. But it is what it is.
Time for another “cat” picture. Here is “sweet” Domino – he looks so innocent in this picture!
OK time to get ready for work. It’s HUMP day and Woman’s Meeting Day. I’ll try to make it. I have a meeting at 3PM and then I want to go to the Office Supply store so I doubt I’ll make it to the Gym today. I’ll probably go to the beach if there is time before the 5:30 meeting. Haven’t been there in a while. I’ll take a picture if I go.

Domino woke you with a little “gift”. Funny–yet, not–grin! My Burt, who formerly slept wrapped around my neck every night–and I loved it–“gifted” us one morning. He now spend his nights on the porch–a miniature–but literal–jungle awaits him, where he hunts, chases, hides, explores, plays…and yes, leaves little “gifts” to make the garden grow. Of course, our porch smells like a barnyard. Ah! Memories of childhood–life on the farm.
Wanted to send photo of Burt’s “jungle”, tried it, can send everywhere except to WordPress blog. Any “tip” on that, Mary?
Just like “in the day of bottles” (when I always had a backup!!!), I now buy 2 packs of printer ink, so ALWAYS have a backup…maybe that’s the only positive thing ever came from drinking–for me.HO! HO! HO!
Two honeysuckle bushes–well they are vines, but still in “bush” stage–doing good, in their 3rd day in ground. Tomorrow gonna put bunch of nails in nearby wooden fence privacy fence and string fishing line from them to plants. Will take BEFORE pictures tomorrow.
I thought MANY more than 110 tickets would be sold by now–Are ALL Alkies procrastinators like me? (Ans. YES!) Last year I scrambled for a ticket AFTER they went off sale. THAT’LL never happen again.
Hey ie is me rambling again–what’s new about THAT–grin!
Wish good Thursday for everyone who visits here, and for you, Mary,…
Bye…

Looking forward to the before and after pictures of the vine. Don’t know how you send a picture to this blog. I think I want to take another course in Word Press and really get something out of it this time. I’ll probably have to pay big money for it. I should check at Edison – Southwest Florida College – new name? That’s another place I want to work in retirement.
