Go Canada

 

We often go over to parties at Rachel and Shannon's house. They are professional musicians and have sing-a-longs at their parties. Tonight they sang Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi and I wanted to yell "Go Canada" after they were finished but I was too shy.

You Say Composite

 

I went to Softball 'R Us to buy a new bat for the restricted bat league. I told the lady it couldn't be com-POS-ite. And she said you mean it can't be compos-IT. I never knew all this time I was saying composite wrong.

Impressive

 

In the living room, Barb was trying to explain an amazing pickleball move she made today. She stood up in from of her arm chair and jumped and swung her imaginary paddle and mashed the table lamp which went flying. The move seemed quite impressive to me.

Shirley and Joe

 

Barb has had trouble with the CRV battery since she got an oil change. She got it checked it out and they said it was okay. Then today the car died at pickleball. Her friend Shirley who she was playing with said she would go home, get her husband and come back to help. While she was gone, Barb asked an old man if he had jumper cables. He said he did and then he opened up his car and had all kinds of tools in it. He was able to start Barb's car. And just as Barb was about to leave Shirley and Joe returned. Barb thought how nice were Shirley and Joe.

iTunes


I am getting impatient with dj's talking too much and the commercials on the radio. So I have been listening to iTunes on my computer and enjoying my own music. I am surprised at how much of it I have never heard before. I collect a lot of CDs and I download 10 songs a week from the library but I never get around to listening to them. So this is quite a treat.

Coffee


I set up the coffee pot with a filter and coffee grinds. I filled that pot with water but left the pot in the sink. Then after a while I noticed the coffee maker wasn't making any noise and realized that I had forgotten to put the water in the coffee maker. I had to wait for the coffee maker to cool down before I could restart it.

Lob


Barb's partner at pickleball today was going back to get a lob. So Barb bent over so as to get out of the way of her partner's shot and her partner hit the ball right at her butt.
