it’s the monday giggles….
Sometimes,
the first step towards forgiveness
is realizing
the other person is
totally
bat-(poopy)
crazy.
And the final step
is…
recognizing there is just
no medication
for that.
hugs n’ blessings to all those dealing with bats in their belfry’s.

This weekend
Cuppycake
was birthday balloon bombed!
Yup.
And I thought it was awesome!
Here’s the recap of the day’s events:
He worked all day.
I baked.
While others
were plotting & planning
in mischievous ways!
He came home.
I finished assembling the cake.
We went to dinner.
He got LOTS of telephone
birthday
wishes!
And then we returned home
to find…
lots & lots of shiny mylar balloons
all over
the front of our home!
“How fun!!!”
said me.
“What in the world?”
said he.
We looked and looked and looked
at all the wonderful shiny-ness
and
hoped to see some evidence of the
plotters and planners.
Until, at last,
we went inside
to
eat
cake.
In the morning….
Cuppycake was making coffee.
I went back outside.
To take better pictures
of the shiny-fun
(hanging outside our home,)
to send to our far-away children.
But the balloons were ALL GONE!!!!!!
I told Cuppycake,
“Someone took all your balloons!”
He said,
“No. I took them all down.”
Yup.
Note to self for my upcoming birthday:
BEWARE OF FUN-SUCKERS!
(They take down balloons far too quickly.)
hugs n’ blessings to all the plotters and planners…
i salute you!

it’s the monday giggles…
(Fingers-crossed) Spring sprung this Weekend in our NW area of Pa!
And in my local neighborhood…
kids were outside playing until way past dusk,
people of ALL ages were seen bike riding,
every breed of dog could be found being walked,
and Cuppycake raked the yard!
(Yep, it’s official…the rake is out.)
I wish I’d have taken a picture of He and Helen out there together…
Cuppycake would rake a pile of fallen sticks & Helen would carry the pile, stick by stick, back out into the yard to be scattered once again.
(As you might imagine Helen & I were the only two who thought it was adorable.)
Yard work is a serious order of business in our household. Every member of our family owned their own personal rake while living at True North. Most kids around the age of 3 or 4 get a red-rider wagon in the fall…ours received toddler sized rakes instead.
We had them in every size & width. Flat edged, scooped, tightly tined to loosely fitted, (which always had a nice bounce as it scraped across the ground surface I might add.) I never knew they made rakes in so many different materials either until I met Cuppycake. Metal, plastic, willow, & bamboo to name just a few. And every year, without fail, he’d arrive home from a hardware store visit with “the Best Rake ever invented.” Guarnateed to cut yard-work in half (for all of us…)
Things have improved, mind you, since our move to North Star…we have downsized to 3 hand-chosen rakes which remain. But not to worry, Cuppycake makes certain the matter is still handled with authority & laser-beam focus. You can always be assured that at the end of the day’s task there will not only be neatly raked, all in a row, perfectly-proportional in every way piles, BUT there will also be another compiled list of 3 more (until recently unthought of) NEW projects to complete this summer as a result!
This year it looks like concrete will be involved.
I think I need to begin training Helen to carry the rake away instead….
hugs n’ blessings to all the idea makers out there!
(And those who contend with them all!)
