A belated Happy Easter from me and Big G , only had Sunday off from Wally world ,but still better than working the full weekend , we had planned to go and do some kebabs in a nearby park with a lake but the weather put a stop to that , I have photos of Chester holding first an umberela,then 2 umberelas,then the beach parasol over the grill in our yard instead ,trying to keep our kebabs edible and dry !
Well there is always next year (hopefully and God willing )
I didn't do anything special at all. Funny story:
I've written before about the odd but mundane coincidences that frequently happen with me. It's mostly reading a certain word and having someone on TV or the radio say it at the same time, but sometimes it's semi-funny.
I was going to the store last Saturday and listening to a rock 'n roll show with the radio jocks, two guys and a woman doing skits and talking about Easter. The woman said she had bought a bunch of chocolate crosses for a Bible study class and was asked by the cashier if they were for her grandchildren and how it sort of hurt her feelings. I then got to the store and as I was checking out, the young lady cashier asked if I had any plans and I told her no and SHE said "Not even hiding Easter eggs with your grandkids?"
She was so embarrassed when I told her I didn't have children, much less grandchildren, then I mentioned just hearing that same thing on the radio. She apologized when I told her it sorta hurt my feelers...but the guy sacking my groceries laughed when I said I oughta expect it, seeing as how my ol' face looks like it's worn out three/four bodies. -grin-
She lightened up some when I told her no, I didn't have kids, that the dr. said I shouldn't have any. Her eyebrows went up in an unspoken question...and I'm sure she was afraid to say anything...but she burst out laughing when I said no, the dr. advised against it, esp. since I was so narrow in the hips.
Would love to see those photos, always enjoy seeing them. I subscribe to both yours and Chester's blogs in my reader, but there's been nothing for a while.
Oh that's too funny what you said to the cashier about your hips , I would have peed laughing at that , I have to stop chatting too much to my customers as half the time they end up leaving their bags on the carousel .
I know I feel that I should just cancel the blog I have as I never do any posts anymore , I am just lazy and most of the time too tired after a wallyworld shift, and along with nothing much to blog about , maybe I/we should make the effort more often, don't hold your breath for a post though as I'm all talk at times ;)
