Notice all the birds in the trees?
Christmas display at the mall
You have to read this toilet story below! It starts 'Would you, if given the choice, forsake a roll of paper and select a toilet that offered a warm seat, a cleansing spray, and a waft of warm air to gently dry the essentials?'
It's that time of year again, when our newspaper delivery guy starts leaving our newspaper right at the front door instead of on the sidewalk. We usually leave a tip towards Christmas.
K has a big science project starting up on hydraulic and pneumatic systems, so I started doing a bit of research in order to be able to help him. I must admit that I'm getting immersed in this learning. Engineering has never been my forte, but you do get engrossed if you give yourself up to discovery and new challenges. I figure I'm warding off alzheimer's and keeping the brain sharp this way. Did you know the heart is a hydraulic system and that your lungs are pneumatic systems? Youtube has some great videos on pneumatic systems, so I'll get him to have a look at those today.
K's new favourite clothing store is now West 49, we got him a new hoodie sweater from there yesterday. He told me he likes lighter, bright colours and seems to know exactly what he wants the minute he sees it. I'm like that with furniture. My new favourite store is Pier 1 Imports.
M and L went to the tennis bash last night to pick up this huge trophy that she gets to keep for a year. They gave her a smaller one that is hers to keep. I heard the food was really good too. The bad news is she mislaid her emergency asthma spray that I just refilled days ago. Hopefully it will turn up this week, else I'll have to go get another one.
It snowed a bit this morning and there's still some on the grass.

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely arrangement.I enlarged it to see it in the full glory.
Yes, I would choose water over paper if I had the chance.I used to love swimming in the Public Baths-but not any more. Now I always imagine what survives in the water in spite of chlorination!
Hey Christine
ReplyDeleteYou have one vote for no new toilets, toilet-paper is my life :o) I am in paradise when I hear of a toilet plugged up from the over use of paper....LoL
So I am going to have to add this to my petition items, Just say No don't forsake the Roll!!
Wow Christine you have so much news today. I loved the arrangement although not sure about the toilet. Great post and loved your pics - you must show us when you get lots of snow!!! Oh and how great when a kid knows exactly what they want to wer - thts why boys are the best when it comes to that.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful arrangement! And aren't you a lucky girl :-)
ReplyDeleteI bet the snow was lovely, lovely.
Now I'm off to read your news link...
Mom, Barbara, Lilly and Jpra... I have to say 'no' to the new toilets too. Yes, my friend seems to have a flair for the flower arrangements, I'm really enjoying this one.
