I'm considering trying to make another pasta dish. With green stuff. With bacon. We'll see. It's what I have in the fridge. I also have tuna. And black olives.
Today. A phone call from our banker. He will drop off the taxes on Monday. We'll mail them ourselves. He mentioned that he had gotten COVID and he thinks from a grocery store cart. He couldn't think of any other deviation from his protective habits. He is now okay and fully vaccinated. Not our grocery store.
We...deviated from our ways- and I did library pick up today (out of books) and then visited my old work place the nursery/garden center. I got dormant oil spray for my fruit trees (and sprayed them), fruit tree fertilizer spikes and a small rosemary plant and smaller lemon thyme plant. I neglected my many years old potted rosemary this Winter and it dried out- I saved the leaves in a jar. So I will start over. And, lemon thyme is new to me. I think I will like it.
And then we drove in a circle and arrived at the Dairy Queen. Open for 2 weeks now. We hadn't checked. Husband had forgotten what he always gets (and I never paid attention). I asked for a medium vanilla cone (he promptly forgot that) and when he walked back to the car- I was handed a medium hot fudge sundae. He had his mocha chip blizzard. He remembered? No. He didn't------ the clerk at the DQ remembered his order for him. (think about that) Must be karma of some sort that he doesn't have to worry- someone else remembers.
I kind of think he's ALWAYS been like this. I think his secretary remembered for him for years. I know she remembered Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and my Birthday. Every year he was International out of Chicago. I always got amazing flowers even when he wasn't even home. Ah.........We should all be him.
Now to find or make up a green pasta sauce.
Hope you like hot fudge!
ReplyDeleteDear Joanne - I can confirm that all secretaries/coordinators in the Frankfurt/Germany office loved him, and his family, and made sure that no birthday was ever forgotten. Still have the list ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good Easter. Love - Mom
MariMo- we (the family) loved you and all the others in the office. I envied you the happiness you all had for each other--
ReplyDeleteand my family. St Nicolas dinners when everyone wanted to sit next to me- because I wouldn't eat the meat. Venison.
Such lovely lovely memories. I'm more "German" with each passing year.
