Making plans for the future, am I alone


Darn I don't think my video works so this instead. She speaks in real life.

That is my Halloween witch. She is hilarious and scares the cat and dog. When the dog barks it sets her off.  It is the only thing they agree on, besides 3 o'clock is cookie time.

When the dog goes out to pee the cat hides and waits and then chases Lily in, Lily knows this and runs in like she is in the derby. The cat also hisses and swats. The cat is declawed and can do no harm, Lily does not know this. Fun times. (Cat is a rescue and came this way)

I bought my aeroplane ticket to go get my mom. Not going until mid April but the prices are fantastic and no fee to change dates. Gotta do it. And I have to go get her, I cannot leave her there alone. I am the only one who will do this and not beg for money at the same time. I am just hoping and praying she does not get sick before I need to bring her back.

BTW, flying into Orlando this time. With Disney shut down and no kids the tickets are the cheapest to get to Florida right now. No need to fly into Jacksonville since Susie died, Ft. Myers prices are up and Palm Beach has lots of Covid-19 cases. Also lots of old people to spread these germs around.

Last year she was there until July 4 and she was sick. The heat was miserable, the doctors not great and appointments with specialists months in the future. She needs to see her oncologist and internist up here in early May. We want all this cancer to stay away. She also needs another mammogram and a follow-up with the breast surgeon. And I hope I can get her to the special bra place. The mastectomy has been very hard on her and the healing very slow.

Very soon mom and I will need to place her first Internet order at Publix for curb pick up. Fun times I can hardly wait to tell you about this.

The Barber of the village



Columbine randomly growing in my landscaping, I think this may be the Rocky Mountain variety

Big Daddy always has a bitch of a time trying to get a haircut. It was no different in China, it just cost a whole lot less to look like shit.

Back in the day he used to have Earl cut his hair. Earl was the only guy to give a razor shave. Big Daddy quit Earl because he was just too old. He was 97, he started cutting hair when he was 16.

Then BD moved on to Tony, but when he came back from China Tony was shaking so bad he scared BD. He was 86.

Big Daddy then moved on to John, he is a youngster at 71 but he does the worst haircut I have ever seen.

So this evening BD and I are back in the nook at the wrought iron table with the hair cutting kit from the drug store and I am cutting his hair. A little younger than the last guys, I would like to think a bit cuter, and certainly a bit pickier. A glass of wine, clippers with a number one, and some scissors, yep he looks good.
