He gives me flowers. While I appreciate the sentiment of roses, it kinda depresses me to watch a huge bouquet of blooms slowly die. I finally explained this to him before our 27th anniversary. That year, he gave me two red , one coral, and two yellow roses. The red roses held the tens place, the coral stood for five, and the yellow ones were for single years. I loved it, and that has been the tradition since, with roses arranged according to time passed. I buy him deli cheese, which makes him ridiculously cheery.
You?
You?
Happy Anniversary, Catriona!
We're doing to do a few weeks in Europe next year for our 20th (technically 12 married, 8 living in sin). Maybe longer if I decide to semi-retire next year, which probably isn't possible.
We never did much for our anniversaries. Maybe go out to dinner, but we used to go out every Friday night for dinner, before it became too difficult. Every day was a celebration with that guy!
Well, after a losing streak, I finally beat my brother at Scrabble, 454 to 244.
A triumph!
I don't recall the last time I played Scrabble, but I'm sure it was with my grandson. I don't let him use his phone to look up words anymore. He's getting too good.

Huzzah! Congratulations, Louanne - you drubbed your brother!
Feels like autumn.
I painted two small paintings today on an activity. One of a distant red star above desert dunes. The other of a purple person holding up a world surrounded by stars. Was good to let some creativity out.
On my way home I got soaked in rain and changed to dry clothes as I came home, was nice.

My niece is coming home for Thanksgiving weekend (Thanksgiving is October 13 in Canada) and we're going on another e-bike adventure!
Felt less like autumn after an hour pulling weeds and cutting down chokecherry suckers and seedlings.
Oh boy I am feeling lazy....
I'm waiting on a call to hear the plans for a book tour in October. We waited kinda late to make arrangements because we wanted to be able to use the Arkansas Gems thing for advertising, but looks like there might still be some places that are willing to host me. A couple of places have already requested dates for next summer when Book II is released.
Ha. Sometimes I feel like a real writer... then I look at the messy, barely decipherable pile of notes for Book III and think, "What the hell makes me think I can turn this into a story?"

that little voice inside, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."
Heh. That little voice reminds me of an old-fashioned steam train chuffing along, which goes: "Chuff-eh-ta, Chuff-eh-ta, Chuff-eh-ta..."
I have a craving for chips. I crave chips more than chocolate.
Here's a recipe for home-made BBQ Chips: Homemade Barbecue Potato Chips - Just a Taste
Well, I have just placed my first order ever with Door Dash. Anything to save having to go out!
