I usually get on this site daily so that if someone who is blond with blue eyes and a former Marine gets it into his head to see what HIS MOTHER is doing, there will be something here to read that says,”Yes, YOUR MOTHER is here and thinking of you. As is your dog, SYDNEY. But yesterday I got sidetracked . . . but I am here now. Back. In the Peanut Butter Cafe & Roadhouse . . .
Okay, yesterday Der Bingle and I went to the local home show; it’s probably been going about 8-10 years now. It was sunny and a lot of people were there and some interesting vendors, including the one (CountryScapes and Gardens), from whom I purchased the planter accessory known as MooseHead that wound up on a Christmas tree
. . . as well as CatHead
and CowHead.
Der Bingle bought something for his apartment involving water; he asked me to say no more – I guess it is a surprise for Grover who sought sanctuary there following some “episodes” with Summer.
The Master Gardeners were there and giving out food made with herbs. We got in line and along with cake and cookies got a small cup of punch. I didn’t realize it at the time because in my haste to reach the food line, I had walked right by the sign that announced the theme of the presentation: Lavender and Old Lace.
The punch was pink – not hot pink, more like pink grapefruit pink. I tasted it and then asked, “What kind of punch is this?” The answer was Lavender Punch and I immediately thought, “Oh, my God, I’m drinking ground up little old ladies” – something I am very close to being myself. I didn’t care for it, but Der Bingle said it was okay, so I gave him mine.
The lady told me how it was made and I think Der Bingle paid attention. I was still thinking about the little old lady factor, which led me to thoughts of Zero Mostel in the original “The Producers” and how Colin Powell said that was his favorite movie and he loved the part about “little old lady land”. Did that sentence get a little long? Well, that makes it a typical AmeliaJake sentence, according to Der Bingle.
And when I went back to grab, MooseHead, CatHead and CowHead, I found this nice picture of Cameron from a year ago this month:
thanx for coming to the home and garden show!
