If any of you know of any blind gentlemen of at least moderate means looking for the perfect young lady please forward the information to Auntie. |

Auntie, your Martha sounds wonderful. And, perhaps she does not need a blind man as beauty is often entirely in the eye of the beholder. Example, spouse swears that WonderWoman was a hot babe. Um, sorry, do not agree. Spouse says, "If you'd been an adolescent boy when she was on TV you WOULD have thought her hot."No, don't think so. |

I've heard that beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder. So perhaps you need to look in the bar hehehe. But it sounds like Martha deserves more than a drunk. Be careful Auntie B, if you find her too good a hubby she might not stay on as your housekeeper. |

Winter has returned to Primrose, RI. It actually snowed briefly this morning and has remained a bonechilling 38 degrees (F). How cold that seems compared to all the pleasant sunny 70-something weather we'd been having. |

Sorry to hear that, Baldur. The winter has been too long in Romania, too. But now we enjoy pleasant weather with up to 20 degrees (C).Can't wait to see some flowers though ... |

It's funny how weather effects us. Just a month ago, a day as warm as today would have seemed wonderful and Springlike. |

I was saying that exact same thing just yesterday, Baldur. I've got the thermostat cranked up higher than on the coldest day of winter. It's ridiculous! |

So sorry about your weather, Baldur and Hazer. Perhaps Missouri borrowed your it because yesterday was THE most glorious day we've had since last fall! The sun was shining, the skies were blue, temps were in upper sixties, birds were singing and all was right in the world. Who knows, it felt so good that possibly there was one moment yesterday were all 6.5 billion people in the world felt wonderful? Anything is possible. And, of course, that leads nicely into another Missouri Moment. |

What a wonderful account of your day marius. It is truly a gift to remain surprised and awed by where daily life takes you! The part about dad asking about sis also reminds that there is always hope! What a blessing! |

Yesteray was my last day on the rehab unit. Monday I start my new job. The staff I worked with yesterday felt bad that no one had planned a "going away" gala. Often when someone who's been there for quite awhile leaves, they have a pot-luck party. I hate the thought of that. Plus, I left the rehab unit 2 years ago for a new job at a new hospital that I ended up hating. Returned to rehab in 3 months. When I left back then, we had a big party at someone's house and I even got some gifts and stuff. Again, uncomfortable, but certainly someone doesn't deserve 2 parties for leaving a place, so I was thrilled that no one had suggested such a thing til it was too late. Anyway, yesterday I was the charge nurse, so spent some of my day in the charge office. At one point I returned to the office to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers. There was a sticky note on it saying something about the rehab staff loving me and missing me. That was the first clue that perhaps these flowers were recycled. I mean, a sticky note?? Then upon closer observation, the roses were drooping and wilted, and a few of the mums were down to only 5 or 6 petals. The lilys and greenery were still lovely, though. That bouquet just cracked me up. We had discharged 11 patients yesterday, and I can only assume that one of them did not want to take her lovely bouquet home in the car. So apparently it was left at the nurse's station for all to enjoy, at which point one of the nurses affixed the sticky note and put it in the office. LMAO! That tickled me more than she'll ever know. Really spoke to the essence of my personality, and I appreciated that! |

Robin, I love that you were so tickled by the recycled flowers. So many people would be so cheesed off by that, it's good that you can take them as they were intended-a nice gesture left a little late. |

Baldur think he would get a kick out of used flowers too, especially if it were an obviously funereal arrangement of gladioli and spider mums in one of those dreadful papier mache' containers that florists are prone to use up here. |

Despite the frigid weather that never topped 40 degrees F today Baldur did serious yard work today. I attached the brambles and poison ivy on a rocky slope on the Southern side of Boughbreak. This permitted me to finally rake out the last neglected bed of bleeding hearts that were smothered in tangles of overgrowth. |

What kind of cheese did Baldur use with his sauerkraut? |
|

Baldur used white American cheese as that was what was in the refrigerator. Swiss would have been great. |

If I need to shop for groceries and such Baldur would be required to drive his rusty old pickup truck out of Primrose. The nearest area that contains markets, banks, petrol stations and such is where the town of North Smithfield borders on the sprawling metropolis of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. |

This store is an amazing mishmash of wonderful items, all wonderfully cheaper than anywhere else. |

A couple weeks ago Baldur found jars of Sauerkraut from Germany. The brand name is 'Kuhne' (with diacritical marks galore) and it is truly amazing. |
