Well, this short, pudgy old lady finally learned why it is that I have never been able to get pants that fit perfectly. Thanks to this display I passed in Macy's recently I now know that I have been shopping all wrong. Why didn't someone tell me eons ago that I needed to buy the soul fit in my size.
Seems the Old Salt and I spend more time in doctor's offices lately than anywhere else. During a visit last Monday I discovered a new aquarium had been installed on a wall in one of the waiting areas. I've never seen anything like it before. It is a self contained unit that hangs on the wall and is only about eight inches deep. I found it a interesting and relaxing way to pass time while waiting for my blood draw.
We have a new deli in town. They serve some very hot chicken wings and anyone who can eat an entire order gets them for free and gets the bragging rights displayed on this "Wall of Flame" for all to see. One of my brothers recently won the honor of signing the wall. I'll leave it to you to figure out which name is his.
We have lots of businesses in town that spend large sums of money every spring getting a local nursery to provide planter pots of flowers in front of their establishment. I can run out of fingers counting the number that currently have dead or dying plants as the first impression their customers see when approaching their business, because they fail to keep the pots watered. It makes me so sad that I want to sneak out at night with my car loaded with gallon jugs to water them all. I'm delighted our favorite eatery is not one of them as this shot I snapped this morning shows.
Linking to Friday Fragments
Friday the 13th has always been a lucky day for me, too. I hope you steer clear of sprinklers today and have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI think my Friday the 13th's have been uneventful for me too. What a great one you had thirty years ago. Somehow, things seem to work out a lot of the time. That flower container is beautiful. Mine never look like those professional ones. Speaking of accident prone, I hope that aquarium is supported well. Maybe you should not sit near it at that office. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI would want to water the plants too! We are having a drought here, and even though our lot is small (townhouse), I spend a lot of time watering. One pot? Easy! Shame on them!
ReplyDeleteI can SO relate to your mention of being accident-prone. In fact, a favorite icon on Pinterest pretty well describes me:
ReplyDelete"I'm NOT clumsy. It's just that the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies, and the wall gets in the way."
Hope that goose-egg on your forehead isn't causing you too much discomfort! Stay SAFE!
Fun fragments all.
ReplyDeleteI thi.k I need the soul + size.
Here in our vacation town, they all hang out fuscia petunias - it looks amazing.
I do not understand the Macy's display... what if you do not like anything?
ReplyDeleteThis was such a great post! I loved all the different things you discussed and shared with us! The Macy's display was a hoot....there is something similar on a TV commercial for a foot care place, which purposefully says "Saving soles since...." :-) I hardly noticed it was Friday the 13th when it happened but a couple of others mentioned it in their posts. I hate you got hit in the head! But I loved the wonderful testimony about finding the $20. bill where you ran out of gas going to work! That's so wonderful! I have to share a Friday the 13th thing with you....on Friday the 13th in the month of October in the year 1967 my husband asked me to "go steady" with him and I said yes. We recently celebrated our 43rd Wedding Anniversary! Friday the 13th was definitely a LUCKY day for us! :-)
