The drill

After 34 years of asking, the railing to the basement was tightened up by a woman wielding a pink drill along with a bag of new tools. My ever-thoughtful daughter-in-law fixed it and it is secure. My son had given in to her long request of tools for a gift and this year he complied...along with a very expensive perfume.  We are tired of asking the men to hang pictures, seal cracks, mend fences and then waiting forever and it is still not done. Thank you, Beth.

Rickey Gervais was great last night as host of yet another pat-myself-on the back award show. I am sorry I missed it but enjoyed the news today as his comments were everywhere. At last someone spoke up.  He might now be done for, but he does not care.  Thank you Mr. Gervais.

Well, I am feeling 'cooking' today and am off to the fridge and freezer.  Andy is on his way home with bags of vegetables which I will greet with enthusiasm.  Love them. 

It will be easy for you to find the Rickey Gervais bits...read them all.  I almost missed some of them.

Note: On a very sad note we lost Posy this afternoon.  She has been in great pain. She was  14 and a half years old so we were lucky to enjoy her for that long.  Winston and she left us four months a part and we are down to one dog, Bella, who provides joy in our lives here at Many Branches.
