I'm pretty sure all parents lose their minds after their retire. It sounds just like what my parents did: they had a big house in Charlotte, they bought a big boat to keep at the lake.

Then they decided maybe they'd move to the lake, so they put their house up for sale. Then they decided they missed having a garden, so they bought a house at the lake. They moved into that. Then they sold the big boat and bought a smaller one. Finally they sold the condo, and eventually the house. Then a few years later they moved into a retirement community. Completely insane. Every once in a while I hear a little peep of complaint about their current abode and I cringe.

I made bean soup for dinner, only it wasn't nearly done when I got home (I had it going in the crockpot), so it's still cooking and DH just brought home a pizza. :shrug:

Thumbs up to Peachy Cow and the 12 year old heroine. I had birthday parties like that, but never at MacArthur Park... Griffith Park, yes, or Brookside... But maybe there's a MacArthur Park in FL that I don't known about. Hmmm. Guess anybody could name a park after a war hero.

Beautiful days. Crummy mood. Should probably be making little lists for myself and actually accomplishing things.

tomorrow, she said. i'll worry about it tomorrow.

Kiwi, I think that the parents are just at loose ends since they've retired and are practicing recreational home building. I guess there's worse things they could do with their time.

Painty, I'm sorry you're in the doldrums. I've had a few of those days myself. I've been able to keep myself amused lately with planting flowers and stuff. I really should have gone into the horticultural business, but then it probably wouldn't have been as much fun. This years colors are back to blues and pinks. I planted in front of my roses with white cosmos, blue salvia, white petunias, white alyssum and blue lobelia. The roses are mostly in the pinky tone. Deck rail planters are pink wave petunias w/ white bacopa and lime green licorice plant. Haven't gotten to my pots yet, they still have tulips blooming in them. I'll keep you posted. I'm sure you're all fascinated. ;)

Kiwi, bean soup for dinner tonight? Sounds yummy.

Oh Wabby, that all sounds so lusciously beautiful. Of course I haven't heard of half of them, but they sound fab. I wish I had the know-how/greenthumb/motivation combination that I think it would take to do that. Of course I will probably manage to plant my lasagna garden again this year. I'm thinking of doing some interesting peppers -- I've been buying various kinds to try (eating) when they have them in the grocery store and my current favorite is Poblano. I wonder if that would grow in Maine. Maybe with a lot of coddling. I only got a couple of peppers out of my handful of plants last year, but we'll see.

Anyway, I'm supposed to be packing and stuff. And going to get a haircut. Bye :wave:

Hey Kiwonkers!!! I forgot that this is the weekend!!! Have fun, fun, fun!!!!

Bagzie, I so wish I could be drinking margies with you tonight. I just realized what I need is to sit in a nice quiet little bar and drink margies until I'm tipsy. Haven't done that forever. What would really be nice is to sit out on a sunny deck at a waterfront bar and drink margies. Or long island iced teas. And the bar would be attached to a nice hotel so I wouldn't have to drive home.

TGIF

Well, I'll do just that in your honor, Wabbit. Perhaps not quite a waterfront bar, but definitely a hotel. Hope I can remember the trip when I come back :devil:

Have a good week, cowsies.
