Vicki, Lauren & I have periodic spurts of laughter that make us 'pee our pants'........well, Vicki & I do..... We howl and we howl ! Rileigh (not yet 3) gets 'caught up in the moment' as well. She will laugh heartily along with us, throw her head back, bend over & slap her knees, just to join in & be part of our hilarity.
Earlier today, my son in law, John, offered to drive me to an auto shop as I needed to leave my car overnite to have the brakes worked on. I phoned him to say I was going to run to the Dollar General store & be back in a few minutes. Wrong! I did go to Dollar General. I stayed about thirty minutes sorting through cute, cheap items to attach to my Christmas wrappings & picked up the cleaning supplies on the list for the intended trip. I'm checking out. 'That will be $29.38' says the cashier. I swipe my debit card...nothing appears on the screen. 'Do I need to swipe my card again' ? 'Well, maybe, this dern machine has been actin up today'. I swipe the card again & push the debit icon............nothing. She takes her pen & STABS, STABS, STABS the debit icon. 'Hmmmm, it's still actin up, the dern thing.........do you have a check, or cash' ? 'No, I only have my debit card' 'Hmmm, stab, stab.stab,stab....'I guess the dern thing ain't gonna work today' 'OK, then put the dern stuff back on the shelves' says I, as I storm out the door. I told Vicki & Lauren I did a 'donut' in the parking lot as I left rubber all the way to the street. I did'nt really, but wanted to...........so then I had to go to walmart & pay twice the money grrrrrrrrrr. I was late getting home, but have an understanding son in law. :-) I know we are in a recession, but wonder if Dollar General has any cashier openings !

Frances, I just read all of your blogs and how interesting they are. You are doing great! And you thought you couldn't do this. It was after Pegge died and I read her blogs, I knew that even though they are pretty much rambling thoughts,they were hers and now she is gone from us. They are so valuable to me and I will save them forever. One day, someone will read our thoughts and be so glad that we have taken the time to do as Pegge did. Your Sissy
