Mary slept past 8:00 am this morning, and let me tell you, that’s like Bigfoot getting caught on camera—it just never happens! But after all the meds she took to relieve the pain, we totally understand why. I mean, with that much medicine in her system, she probably thought she was on a mini-vacation in Dreamland, lounging on a beach with a tiny drink topped with a little umbrella!
She did wake up in a great mood and welcomed the weekend!

We opened up a new puzzle and dove in, ready to tackle it with the enthusiasm of detectives on a hot case. But so far, it’s Puzzle 1 and Puzzalees 0. At this rate, the puzzle is looking less like a beautiful picture and more like a jigsaw version of modern art. We’re beginning to wonder if the last piece went on vacation without us! I mean, how do you even lose a piece? Did it run off to join the circus while we weren’t looking? If it doesn’t stop mocking us, we might have to send a search party—or declare a truce and invite it back for a pizza party instead!
Around 3:00 pm, Mary decided we would go to a birthday party this evening. Sandee is turning 75, and we need to celebrate!!
Although she has reconciled herself to sitting through dance music, she does NOT want a repeat of Friday am!
While getting ready, a thought occurred to me (always a dangerous situation). So, I posted a sign outside and am awaiting any takers.
