Daily Notes- Sunny Busy Day


 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.

  1. Dear 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 ;-)

    Hope you had a good Easter. Love - Mom

  2. MariMo- we (the family) loved you and all the others in the office. I envied you the happiness you all had for each other--
    and 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.
