Drug stores understand life. That\u2019s why the Anniversary cards and Sympathy cards are right next to each other!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Another day of rest; we did nothing!\u00a0 Mary fixed a super breakfast, oatmeal.\u00a0\u00a0I refused to eat oatmeal as a child.\u00a0\u00a0I was an inporridgeable brat!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, I checked, Mary did NOT put any gunpowder on the oatmeal, I hope!<\/p>\n

We are having family over for St. Patrick\u2019s Day, so we did a dry run on the corned beef and cabbage using Mary\u2019s crockpot.\u00a0 It had to cook for six hours, and it came out amazingly well. It was tender and juicy and stated terrific.\u00a0 Not we have to figure out how to cook eight pounds of corned beef in a two pound hot pot.\u00a0 I think I will be bringing over my big pots!<\/p>\n

We did chores around the house getting things ready for the 17th.\u00a0 We finished decorating the St. Patrick’s Tree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Looking pretty good!<\/p><\/div>\n

We watched our favorite televangelist and then headed for the hot tub; really, a swim spa.\u00a0 We had a glass of wine and sat there until we were prunes.\u00a0 It was cold when we came in, so Mary sat on the couch and was soon pronounced comatose.\u00a0 \u00a0I called Colleen and Lisa, and Robin on the Bat Phone and fixed a plate of corned beef and veggies.\u00a0 Passing that under Mary’s nose was like smelling salts; we woke right up, grabbed the fork, and torn into that meal like she hadn’t eaten for a month.<\/p>\n

When she was done, I got the coy look as she asked if there were any more remaining.\u00a0 Well, I fixed another plate, and it also disappeared within seconds.\u00a0 I must admit, it was really delicious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mary and I devoured almost three pounds of corned beef after the spa!<\/p><\/div>\n

I controlled myself as I am still on my diet!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I watched The Gauntlet with Clint Eastwood while Mary finished her beauty nap.\u00a0 She woke up and asked for more and didn’t believe me when I say it was all gone.\u00a0 I did bring her a plate of veggies and a bowl of vegetable soup, which also disappeared.<\/p>\n

We watched a little more TV, and at 9:00 PM, it was time to say good night.\u00a0 Mary, and her faithful partner Scout, The wonder Dog, swaggered up the stairs while me and my fat little tummy headed home.\u00a0 It was a good day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Note to self: Wear plenty of green on the 17th!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
