Afternoon.
Its rainin’ its pourin’ the old man is snorin’
Okay he isn’t he’s laying on the couch getting jumped on by Mariman. *snicker*
A miracle happened today….the wet suit arrived. I paid the day I won the auction (June 16th) and no e-mails, no shipment tracking, nothing. And my e-mail inquiring about it a week ago bounced back. I was really worried it was GONE. But it appeared today and was VERY happy.
Its a wee big on Zeria but this is good. She should be able to wear it at least 3 summers.
Not bad for $18 total.
In all seriousness a angel pushed our car and prevented it from getting smucked this morning. We live on a lane and a half country road. Its fairly impossible to not take your half out of the middle. But people typically go slow and when they see some one coming they get out of the way. (common courtesy and the avoidance of death)
But mister idiot in a black shiny pick-up truck. Was just plain sitting on our side. There’s a 150 foot canyon with a skinny wee fence keeping us from going in it on one side and big black truck on the other. And the big black truck didn’t move when he saw us coming. Rob slowed down, but there wasn’t enough time to completely stop. Besides he kept expecting him to move other a bit…instead he kept coming towards us.
We missed him by a half a inch. And shook the rest of the way down the road. We’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was a very lost tourist. But I have the sad feeling he was a inept neighbour.
Orrrr he might have been looking at what we saw there last night…a baby coyote. *grin* It was very cute and looking rather lost. About half grown, and still looking kinda clutzy like a puppy.
We went a small bit of garage saling this morning. Our awana garage sale was having a take it or we haul it to the dump kinda day. *snicker*
So for $8 we have two plastic cars the kind you can sit in added to our yard collection. A couple of very very nice kids costumes, a couple pair of pants for Zeria, a swimsuit for Kaylin…and each kid got to pick out a 5 cent toy (read junk
) They thought that was most excellent of course. ROFL And I do have to say they’ve entertained them most of the day.
The last thing my yard needed of course was two more yard toys. *snicker* But Rainee and Mari LOVE them. *grin*
Hit a couple more looking for a toddler bed. No go. Rainee’s still in her crib and we need to get her out sometime soon…..the crib is a portable and she barely fits anymore in.
