Just wanted to say that Laya seems to be doing fine this morning. I left her on the roost and took her down at wake-up time around 7:20 and put her in the run myself. She didn't limp! Yay!

Hold up funny guy!!!! I AM NOT older than you!!! You are older than dirt!

In fact, you are so old you fart dust!

My kids love to say that to me.

I was gonna say, if Kim qualifies as an old codger...I hate to think what that qualifies me for. Hopefully, I don't fart dust.

Wow that brought back some fond memories as a kid growing up in a govt. project in Baltimore during the 40's.
The ice wagon, we'd run after it and the guy in the back would chop (ice pick) a chuck off for us. The produce wagon coming through calling out; waterrrrrrmellllllonnnn, cannnnttttalllopppe, vegggggttttabells. Dang, just like it was yesterday. where have the years gone? wow.

When I was a kid in San Jose, CA we had a awesome chevy panel truck that would come through the burbs there and stop every so often & the driver would open all the doors, and pull out wooden drawers, full of fresh breads and dough nuts.
he was the breadman, and all of us got a doughnut for a dime.
Sure wish I had that panel van now.

Yep I'm an old codger for sure but ya know, I don't think "old" and hopefully I don't act like it either. I do get in trouble when I start in on something and fail to realize that I'm way overdoing. Then my body reminds me by kickiing my butt. Life goes on and you do what ya gotta do and the rest will have to wait.

The bad part is when you pass "Codger" and move on into "Crotchety"
After that you move on into "Dried Up" , and then "Geezer"

Example my Mom says, "He was a dried up, crotchety old geezer"
I am bordering on the Crotchety.....old ladies are never Geezers or Codgers.

The word Crotchety just cracks me up...what exactly is crotchety ????????

Farting dust can be a good thing, verses the alternative.

Busy busy today. Gotta get to Costco for some BOB books to complete our stash of readers, and I'm potty training my 2y/o this week. Might not stick but he's done fantastic this morning so we're gonna keep it up!

It is absolutely storming here...55 degrees, very very windy, BLACK monster T-cells blowing through with HORRID rain...raining cows & pigs kinda rain.
I think I have the flu, I am frezzin' and goose bumbly and wann go back to bed.
I am suddenly craving flannel jammies and chicken soup.

reminds me of a neighbor (years ago) that we all went to Value Village with her 2 year old daughter who was into potty training....the little kid spied the little potties along the aisle and decided to use one...we found her sitting on the kiddie potty, swinging her feet & watching people walk by...and then she yelled "Mommie come wipe me !"

LOL
To this day we call V V the "Icky Potty Store"
