The Front Porch Swing

[BDBoop]

My mother lover her naps. She was taking one on the front couch, and died in her sleep. Considering she had been diagnosed with liver cancer the month before, such a passing was a blessing.

What more could a loving family ask.

 

[Pogo]

They make me happy.

I take afternoon naps. Yesterday morning Mrs. Blood tells me she saw on CBS This Morning that afternoon naps may not be good for you. So yesterday afternoon I walk in the bedroom and there is Mrs. Blood...taking a nap.

I can't do naps. Never could. I'm slow to wake up but once I do, that's it until I crash. They're supposed to be good for ya if you can do it.

Me, if I ever nap it means either I'm sick or I got no sleep the night before.

 

[BDBoop]

Maybe you need to age a bit. I never used to be able to nap.

"I'll understand when I'm older"?

 

[BDBoop]

Yup!

I can not remember that last day that I did not take a nap.

My hero, Harry Truman, took a nap every day. if it was good enough for him, it is good enough for me!

BTW, I finally reached the AZ Department of Revenue, and they told me that they never received my tax return, so I sent it by mail yesterday. I don't owe any taxes, but they owe me $25. I am NOT making this up...AZ gives everyone $25 a year in tax refunds who has not spent any time in prison during the year! The citizenship standards goal is not very high down here.

Exactly! I work graveyard though, and I only got an hour's sleep so I should probably call it a night. Translation: see you in ten.

Hope it's a good one!

Good morning, boop, hope all is well with you and yours.

 

[BDBoop]

I'm going to go with "Thank you, it is."

How about you, Jake? Got any plans this weekend?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Clean up the condo before my wife gets back from visiting her parents.

Hide evidence of eating all the things she thinks I should not eat.

SHAME on you!

This is what happens to me.

Especially right now, as I am reading about life in the White House as Chief Usher.

Wonder of wonders, and for the first time in I wanna say eighteen months - I am off both Saturday and Sunday.

 

[BDBoop]

Apropos of nothing - I truly love this picture.

 

[BDBoop]

Or shirt. OR he'll.

My weekend starts today!
We had a crappy winter that carried into a month of Spring and after constant rain that's supposed to start again Sunday, it's supposed to be nice today plus Saturday. So I took today off. That way I'll at least have two out of three decent days to be outside.
Going to grill tonite and tomorrow night. I'm going to do some hiking even though it could be muddy, that's why I paid $150 for hiking shoes. Sit on the deck and have a beer. Clean up the yard of sticks and other winter debris. In the long run, enjoy being outside.
