We’ve had about 24 hours of sunshine now and there’s a touch of dryness near the top of the house but I am not holding my breath for a cure to flooding quite yet. I had a close call today with the septic tank acting up and all I could think was ‘I am getting too old for this’. But my mother came to my rescue, driving my brother’s truck and she looked so cute when she got out of that big old thing. I have the best mother in the world.
Yesterday Mom made me kramerhus which is a Danish dessert, it’s sort of a meringue like cone that you put jam and whipped cream into – mmm mmm good. After 3 of those I sort of went into a coma of delight and rested my tummy for the pork chops and cream sauce that came later. Then we watched this horrid movie “Wall Street 2” which was slow as molasses in January and fairly predictable. However, I had a wonderful day with my Mom and my brothers.
June is my favourite month of the year. I feel like it is finally summertime when my birthday rolls around and I must say I only wish that we could all have a 3 month sabbatical to enjoy the summers. Why can’t work just go on hold for the warm weather? Do you remember how anxious you were to grow up and get out of school? Ah to have those summer vacations again. I should have been a school teacher, just think of all the days off they get. I keep telling my nephew that I will be watching him to see how much he really works as a teacher.
My but I am not being inspired to write today. I think I had too much sunshine and fresh air. I just want to lay in bed and read something mellow. I’ve got this fun new book to start “A Short History of Tractors in the Ukraine”. I need a laugh. I’ll keep you posted.
