What will be happening in 9 more days? Heck this is 2020, we may all be confined to our own homes in 9 days, but if we aren't, then it will be Christmas!
It was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even my spouse. Our stockings were thrown on the floor by the bed, the smell from the socks floated up to our heads.
Our kids were all at their own homes snuggled up in their beds, while visions of Christmas gifts danced in their heads, when outside our house there arose such a clatter, my spouse sprang from our bed to see what was the matter, she ran to the monitor and checked all the security cameras, and what did she see, two cats a fighting, one dog a barking, and a strange man climbing our tree.
The moon on the breast of the newly mowed lawn, let us know there was no snow, so how fast could he go, with no snow, Santa would be slow.
Now we can see that there are some problems in the above wonderfully informative pome. We assume, Santa will use a pick-up truck when delivering in areas without snow. Also, the coal we got for Christmas last year, if we could put it under enough extreme pressure and extreme heat, the coal could turn into diamonds in a few thousand years. Not a bad present after all.
Speaking of presents, we got an early Christmas present. The young lady from next door brought us a Christmas card and a gift, her mom makes chocolate chip cookies, and we received about a dozen. They are very good cookies! The problem is, I want to eat them all at one time.
Topic change, a couple days ago I use the Ford's ole walk behind lawn mower in both the front and back yards. I was not mowing and I was not vacuuming, I was mulching the leaves. It looked almost as good as if I had vacuumed, but I did not have bags of leaves to dispose of. Today, after all the wind yesterday, the front yard is again covered, the back yard is ok.
New subject; as the Tres and I were walking we rounded a corner, and we were on the wrong side of the street. Now we walk on this street every time we walk, but we were on the other side of the street. Tres began looking around, it was as if he felt something was wrong. I allowed this to go on for a minute then we went to the other side of the street, where we normally walk, and he calmed down. People aren't the only ones who form habits.
let us try a different subject; I had ordered an item as a Christmas present, it was supposed to be here on Dec. 8th, then 9th, then 10th, then 11th, and it arrived on the 12th. The company who shipped it sent a note offering us $20 refund for all the troubles. I sent them a note back saying, the refund should be $40, $10 a day for the four-day delay. They sent an email saying the will refund us $40. Ask and you shall receive!
Make a list, check it twice, don't worry about who is naughty or nice! Even though I might be naughty, I should still get a present. ☹
2020 is bad, we don't have to be!
Senior naughty retired person, who use to be nice, or is it the other way, Don the Ford
