Random Saturday

So here I am - ruminating - feeling rather bovine after stuffing myself at the BMSmokehouse. It was the ice cream that did it! I enjoyed the time with Goose, Larry, and Sam - but definitely have that over-stuffed feeling.
Spent the day at Dad's. Helped with clothes and "cleaning." Picked up Jo and drove her to Meineke to get her car - $269 for a wheel bearing. Old people on fixed incomes should get some kind of half-price deal on everything. Civilizations are judged by how they treat their elderly. We're doomed.
Daddy and I shared an Italian BMT from Subway. He loves those things - be sure to get the jalepenos.
Watched Ken Burns' War - just Disk 2 with North Africa and Sicily and Italy. Daddy told a couple of his stories. His are SO much more entertaining than Ken Burns'. Ironically, Burns used Frank Sinatra songs as background music. Daddy explained how the soldiers hated Sinatra because he was a draft dodger. Men would write awful things on his pictures.
After the DVD, I cleaned Granny's gutters and then picked a bucket of Rusty Coats and a few Ben Davises. Yummy apples - even though they look a little rough. Heirlooms are SUPPOSED to look odd.
Daddy mentioned his old school teacher/coach Ralph Stansberry who gave him this quote: "When your liabilites exceed your assets, your ass sets in jail."
Took pictures of an 8-point buck that John the Painter had killed this morning. I was amazed that he could get a carcass that big into the back of an SUV. John's been hunting on Dad's land for over eleven years. He was effusive in his praise for Dad.
Came home after Dad had shaved and showered. LONG drive. Someone in a Ryder Rental tractor trailer who had very little driving experience was coming down the mountain-- SLOWLY. We had probably a 20-car parade from Glendale to Miller's Creek.
Kendal, you're following me. I am flattered and apologize. You don't have to follow this - I just do this for me. You are the only person who even knows I have a blog. You CAN come here for a boost to your writer's ego. You write SO well. I'm jealous of your talent and embarrassed that you read my writing.
I have taken my Ambien - early to bed tonight.
