WHAT A DAY!!!!!
FIRST OF ALL, I READ ALL THE COMMENTS ON MY BLOGS AND I THANK ALL OF YOU WHO RESOND.
YESTERDAY, I WENT TO THE LOCAL CONVENIENCE STORE FOR THE MORNING PAPER. AS I PARKED, MY CELL PHONE RANG AND I GOT WRAPPED UP IN THE CONVERSATION. NOW I FINISHED MY CALL AND WENT INTO THE STORE, WHICH WAS QUITE BUSY. STANDING IN LINE, I LOOK RATHER NORMAL. A WOMAN CAME IN SHORTLY AFTER I DID, AND INFORMED ME I WAS PARKED IN A HANDICAP SPACE WITHOUT A PLACARD. BEFORE I COULD TELL HER I FORGOT TO HANG IT ON THE MIRROR, SHE BEGAN LECTURING ME, IN HARSH TERMS, ON MY WRONGFUL DEED. WE WERE ALL TAKEN BACK BY HER FORCEFULLNESS. SO I EXCUSED MYSELF FROM THE LINE AND LIMPED TO THE CAR, BROUGHT MY PLACARD IN, AND BEGGED HER FORGIVNESS. SHE TURNED RED, WE ALL HAD A GOOD LAUGH, AND I WON'T FORGET AGAIN. FIRST TIME IN FOUR YEARS AND I GET CAUGHT.
NEXT I WENT TO WALGREEN'S TO PICK UP SOME MEDS. AS I WALKED DOWN THE AISLE, WITHOUT CANE, I NOTICED TWO KIDS BEHIND ME, MIMICKING THE WAY I WALKED. THE PARENTS WERE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE KIDS. I STOPPED AND TOLD THE KIDS WHY I WALK THE WAY I DO, THEN WALKED BACK TO THE PARENTS AND SUGGESTED THEY GO HOME AND TEACH THE KIDS SOME MANNERS.
THEN MY WIFE AND I WENT TO PICK OUT FLOORING CABINETS, ETC. FOR A TOWNHOUSE WE ARE CONTEMPLATING BUILDING. WE WANT WOOD FLOORS ALL OVER, EXCEPT CARPETING IN THE BATHROOMS AND TILE IN THE BATHROOMS AND LAUNDRY ROOM. WELL IT SEEMS YOU CAN ONLY GET TILE IN THE FOYER BECAUSE THE COMPUTER WON'T SUBSTITUTE WOOD UNLESS YOU BUY ONE OF THE PACKAGES. NONE OF THE PACKAGES GIVE US WHAT WE WANT, SO IT WAS TILE AND THAT'S THAT. WITH THE HOUSING MARKET THE WAY IT IS, YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD PUT WOOD IN THE FOYER. SO WE WISHED THEM AND THEIR COMPUTER WELL AND LEFT.
THREE FOR THREE. RATHER THAN TAKING A CHANCE ON RUINING DINNER, WE WENT OUT AND HAD A LOVELY TIME.
