I woke up on Monday morning sniffling and sneezing, blaming “springtime” allergies. I coughed a bit, and then I noted that my hair hurt. Very odd.

Hubby slept late, and when he got up I made a fabulous breakfast, and we sat drinking coffee and talking.

It was then I decided to go and shower and I mentioned to Hubby how much my head ached and my hair hurt!

And it was then he reminded me that usually hair root pain, means a fever. I sat down and sure enough, I had a fever! Not a big fever, but enough so that I could tell that my seasonal allergies were probably more of a small cold.

So I took some Motrin, wrapped myself in warm clothes and just kind of took the day slowly.

This means I watered my plants, took some pictures of the fruit trees,

which are doing very well, and also took pictures of my sprouting seedlings.

Later I cuddled with Anneliese, who was being so adorable. She was drowsing next to me and I noticed, her little tongue sticking out! I mean that was just too cute!

She is such a good girl!

And…here we go!

1. Ah, me…I was just outside and it was raining.
2. My daughter and my soon to be grand-baby are what’s on my mind most lately.
3. When I talk to my best friend, there is a lightness in my conversation. I can be myself, and say what I really feel.
4. Starting the planting for the garden is what’s working for me lately.
5. I recently saw the Loons have returned to our Lake. They’re my favorite of the local birds.
6. The love of my family fills me with joy!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to watching a movie on Amazon Prime, tomorrow my plans include going to a plant sale and Sunday, I want to read more of the “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” series of books.!

1. I weighed 9 lbs and 1 ounce when I was born.
2. All my mother’s babies looked alike, so it’s a good thing they dated photo’s back then or we wouldn’t know who was who.
3. I had my appendix out just before I turned 4 years old.
4. I was supposed to be a flower girl in a wedding at that time, but couldn’t as I was still in the hospital.
5. I remember tripping on the stairs when I got home, and crying cause my finger was bleeding.
6. I yelled to my mother that I was bleeding and she thought my incision had opened.
7. It’s no wonder her hair started to go gray at an early age.
8. I was in The King & I, playing the King’s youngest child.
9. One night I missed my mark and the curtain closed with me on the outside with the audience!
10. I bowed and went off the stage!
11. My next community theater play was The Sound of Music. I played Gretel.
12. The Captain was supposed to carry me over the mountain on his shoulders, but I was afraid of heights!
13. So the dear man carried me safely in his arms!

Next Thursday, I’ll answer your questions. So, please leave me a question in your comment and I will do my best to answer them all.

We all know that there are many blond jokes out there. Usually they point to the poor, but sweet, unaware blond, who is victimized by her own stupidity. This is my favorite blond joke.

The blond goes to the doctor because her belly is getting big and she thinks maybe she is pregnant. He assures her that she is, in fact, pregnant. She looks worried and asks, “Is it mine?”

Another One:

What do you call it when a blond dies their hair brunette?
Answer: Artificial intelligence.

And lastly:

There was a blond woman named, Cindy, that was in deep financial problems.
So she got on her knees and prayed “Dear
God, please let me win the lottery. I really need your help or
I’ll loose my car, the house, and everything else.” She doesn’t
win. The next day she prays to God “God! I really really need
your help! I’ll loose my car, the house, and everything else.”
Once again, she doesn’t win. The next day she says the same
prayer; then God speaks to her ” Cindy! work with me here, BUY
A TICKET!!”

Wednesday night our cordless land line phone showed a low battery. Hubby read the instruction booklet and knew we could use a regular rechargeable battery. I had them, so he fixed our family room phone.

Then he wanted to fix the guest room phone, and went in, but could not find the power cord. Where was the power cord?

I went in to the guest room and searched and searched. What had I done with it? Finally, I decided I needed to eat breakfast and calm down. After breakfast, as I walked down the hall to return the guest room, I saw a cord sitting on the dining room table!

Oh, I felt like such a blond. I had no idea how the cord got there, and when I handed it to Hubby, he asked that fateful question. “Where was it?” It was in that moment that I simply had to admit…”Honey, you know when I go and visit Margarita and get my hair colored?” he nodded. “Well, under this brown hair, I’m really a blond!”

He is still laughing!

And…here we go!

1. Vegetables are best grilled.
2. Sterilize mason jars; and fill with delicious jelly.
3. How wonderful it is to be home with Anneliese by my side.
4.The Time Traveler’s Wife is a book I’d love to recommend.
5. Using leftovers: I like to heat and eat.
6. My new grand baby (to be) makes me incredibly happy!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to kick back and relax, tomorrow my plans include cooking Hubby a nice meal and Sunday, I want to get my grocery shopping done!

I’ve been wondering what to write about today. What can I come up with for a Thursday Thirteen, that is reasonably coherent? I have nothing, so I will simply spit things out and hope something makes sense…

1. I have gone to Weight Watchers since I got sick and either stayed the same or lost very little.
2. Which is totally crazy, because I am still not eating or drinking much.
3. Which convinces me that I am one of the chosen few, who could survive a nuclear war.
4. Yes, with no water or food, I could probably make it a year!
5. Of course, all during this time, my hair has been growing like crazy.
6. After 5 weeks, I have nearly half an inch if gray hair that needs to be covered!
7. Can anyone explain this to me?
8. Today I actually will get my hair done.
9. That always makes me feel at least a little better.
10. I think I like coca cola and ginger ale a lot!
11. I should have purchased stock in their companies!
12. Especially Coke!
13. It has simply kept me alive!
