The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Yesterday was grueling, demo-ing the rose garden, working in dirt which thinks itself as concrete, with weather that thinks it's more tropical than Mediterranean. The biggest job is attempting to save this Verbena which has grown into a small tree. Wispy and lovely, but in the way of the new spa. Gary used a rotohammer and shovel to excavate a new home. Today he'll dig up the Verbena and make the transfer to the new location ... notify the post office of the new address, et al.

Looking forward to pics of you and ML and Maggie in the new spa.

Hit the road early this morning headed home. Couple more hours and our Hell week will be over. The in-laws finally agreed that it was time for nursing home. They are 96 & 90. They've been living at home with assistance, but thier health has deteriorated substantially. Lots of paperwork, packing, errands, and details. Thankfully the worst is over. Next month we go back to finish up the house and have an auction. It will take them some time to get used to, but the facility is super nice. DW and I are exhausted.

@SquarePeg I wonder how many people know Yuengling ( the shirt your daughter is wearing ). A local brewery that happens to be America's oldest still in continuous operation here in Pennsylvania.

The first time I had a Yuengling was on a beach near St Pete Fla. years ago. I had never heard of it. When the waitress came around I couldn’t remember the name of the beer, so I told her it was the Chinese brand. Much head scratching followed, and then much laughter. If only I had meant it as a joke!

Beef Stroganoff on noodles and broccoli florets for dinner. Maybe Blue Bell later or maybe not. Astros are doing good today.

I had a similar experience in Oklahoma City when I ordered a Moosehead from a very young waitress in a restaurant. I could tell she thought I was pulling her leg and really did not want to go ask anyone if they served that brand

Nitey nite y'all. Another 5 day week IF the professional floor people don't cancel.
Have the best Monday it's possible to have.

BTW - Gary knows you all are on pins and needles wondering ... Yes! The Verbena was moved.

Morning all, sun is out and the cloud has blown over for now. Just charging batteries then might pop down to the music hall

Mornin Hosers. Back to work after vacation really sucks. Commence pity party now please.

Another whirlwind day for us playing catchup. Then off to Emory in Atlanta in the morning again. Haven't looked at the calendar but I think there's a couple of rest up days after that and before cataract surgery. This busy retired life is starting to suck big time.

Stay home... sell Princess into servitude and live off the proceeds!

Work sucks! The end of vacation sucks! You deserve another week off, at least! The corporate world is for the birds!

....how am I doing so far?

Awww . . . take a nice slow-shutter shot and you'll feel better. Send it to the Photo Challenge to feel great.

Work doesn't exactly suck.
It's quite repetitive though.
5.25 hours today and for the week so far.
Having chicken tenders and gravy at the deli. Have a small list of things to bring home. And a few people came through on the watch site and some Orange straps are coming my way. So a check of the PO is called for.

And now back to your original story.
