Pal Trish sent this "southern joke". LOL ....  Bubba was driving down a back road in South Carolina when he saw a sign in front of a restaurant. It read:

HAPPY HOUR SPECIAL

Lobster Tail and Beer

"Lord have mercy!" he exclaimed to himself, "them's my three favorites!"

Yesterday vacuuming and mopping. The joy. Back was SCREAMING! Gawd, I need a housekeeper!!!!

Then later I picked up PJ and Dave and took them to pick up their new motorhome. It is 17 years old but I don't think the former owners used it at all. The interior, kitchen included, is spotless and still smells new. Even the cutting board is still wrapped in factory cellophane! It is really nice!!! SUPER nice!!! 

                  Dave and PJ will be the King and Queen of the road in this! 

Dinner was reruns of my crab/pasta/veggie dinner. Chair .. TV.. news, wine, nap!

Football tonight:
