I had lots of time on Saturday so I decided to weed the flower bed in front of the house. When I got out front I noticed one of those free newspapers that often clutters up my driveway. I decided it was best to just get it right then. When I got to the front of the driveway I noticed a problem spot that really needed some water.
I went into the garage and put the little Miracle-Gro sprayer on it and set it up to do the watering. The Miracle-Gro has one of those shut-off valves so you can start the water then go do the spraying. Well, when I got down to the sprayer and turned on the water I noticed the pressure was extremely low.
I’ve been here before. There’s an input filter in my house that gets clogged sometimes so I went down into the basement to clean that out. I got it cleaned out and turned the water back on, when I noticed some old plant pots that I had meant to take up to the attic the week before. Knowing I would just forget again if I didn’t take them right up I hiked up to the attic to put them away.
Wouldn’t you know, the last time I was up there I had found an old trunk from my Air Force days and had been looking through some of that stuff. Somehow I never put it all away so I put it all carefully back, closed the trunk, and put the trunk where it belonged. Then I headed downstairs.
It was lunch time so I made myself a nice sandwich and some lemonade and looked through the latest copy of World Magazine that had arrived the day before. I had a couple of cookies for dessert - my favorite chocolate chip recipe.
The doorbell rang as I was cleaning up and it was the mailman with a package I had ordered from Amazon. He also had brought me the letters he normally puts in the mailbox the trip. I thanked him with a cookie then took the mail back into the table. Most of it was junk, but there was a letter from my brother in China so I read that and put it in the mail pile. But the mail pile had been really piling up over the week so I sorted the pile into all the places I keep my mail.
By now it was 2:00. I’m getting older so I like to take a little nap in front of some game or other. When I woke up the game was actually pretty good, so I watched it until the end.
Suddenly it was 5:00 and time to get ready to meet my wife for dinner. I hadn’t accomplished anything. Not only was the flower bed not weeded, but the driveway was full of water and I had to move the hose before I could get the car out of the garage.
I wonder if this is how Alzheimer’s starts.

They say a sense of wonder helps you stay young.
So I’ve spent the last 4 months wondering how the U.S. could have re-elected Barack Obama as President.
I don’t think it’s working.
WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO TGIF

you rock!
Fo shizzle she be a person, not rock.
I tried to get my pet rock to post here, but it can't work the mouse.
