HiAgain Mz Beth!

Hope that Toast-Gatorade gotcha in a Socializin' Mood t'day!

We had an absolutely Beautiful One here in Tampa-Town..made it to da Flea Mkt before 12 Noon..got Peanuts for the Birdies (last 3 pecks the Mexican dealer had...whew!)..10 Superglue tubes for $1 (Thankee, Chinese Republic!)..3 4-Packs of Panasonic AA Batteries for $3 (Thanks Japan!)..& 2 Shirts..Ocean Pacific "Batik"-style $3 (Thanks Korea) and finally a nice Jamaican Dealer sold me a "Club West" 100% Cotton Beige Beach-Style shirt for the last $1.90 I had left...(At last, "Made in USA!")--

Definitely an "International Event"..heh!

Got home, Late Breakfast for me & da Birds, took 'em outside..2 go in the Sea Grape Tree that's taking over the South Corner of my yard (& they chew away on it..heh!)..other pair have a perch about 30 feet away on other corner of the yard. (REAL Loud Squawkin'..for 10-15 Minutes 'til that's outta their little systems.)

Spent all day after that Painting 3 of our Cast Iron Street Lights. Managed to spill the Gallon of Oil-Base Enamel, custom-mixed, all over the Entryway Sidewalk..(Don't think neighbors have ever heard me Cussin' like THAT before...) Ate a good hour scoopin' the paint up, back into the can then scrubbing residue up with various solvents, then hosing it away. Took 2 rolls of paper towels, 1 can of Liquid Gold Furniture Polish, & a can of Spray Lacquer. 1/2 can of Comet Cleanser.. (And 3 Amberbocks..for me/lotsa WATER to hose it off, too.)

Next weekend I'll bring the Ladder back from Pink Place & paint the Upper Reaches I've yet to do..& this'll all be a Miserable Memory..heh!

I WILL get back to the Good Deed Song in the Week Ahead...Promise! (Tomorrow I give da Pink Place IT's due...gulp!) Think it's best we keep it Simple...no need to get Off-Target on that 3-Minute-Movie..IMO. I think THE STORY's really "HOW The Recipient's React"..(& HOW they too, can have the SAME Fun..by being Unexpectedly-Kind.)

Hope you'll agree..(Tho ya don't have to...just pen us a Great Verse & let's see where it leads!)

I'm already too-broke to Experiment in the Checkout Line tomorrow...so You're The Authority on What Happens Next~~~ ;-)>

HOPE Family-Visit-Time went smoothly & No Body Parts were Harmed while ya made it~!

Big Nighty-Nite Hugs, M'LadyChum!
Good Luck at the Ortho-Doc's, Too!
