Saturday afternoon started with the early arrival ( will miracles never cease) of Cindy and David. Cindy had promised to trim toenails—an almost impossible task for old fogies to accomplish.  The feet are too close to the floor and the bellies don’t allow you to bend right!  She also mentioned a pinochle game.  That turned out to be so sad.  The girls (and I use the term loosely) were so far behind we almost lapped ourselves.  (Drag strip fans know what that means—for others it is really bad.)

Please note the official score sheet that appears on this page.  My charming partner decided that because we were going to lose any way let’s have some fun on the last hand.  She bid 65 with our 29 meld—not impossible, but if you have sh** for hands it is kinda leans toward a set.  Obliviously that was the outcome so we, being good sports, told the guys what great card players they were. 

At least my salmon loaf with peas in white sauce for David and tuna noodle for Cindy went over real well for dinner.  We have Jiffy mix Apple Cinnamon muffins, green grapes in Lemon yogurt, mashed potatoes, and lettuce/tomato/ green onion salad for our meal.  A store bought Dutch Apple pie was dessert to round out the meal. 

As usual funny things happened during the day but the thing that caused healthy laughter was when David went to tighten the hinge on one of my cupboard doors. He asked Cindy to get him a screwdriver and she asked if he wanted a flat one or a Stanley.  A Stanley?  The three of us laughed so hard that no one could tell her that the name was a Phillips screw driver.  Poor baby, her momma didn’t even tell her the correct name of the tools she would have to find. 
 
Jay and I had breakfast at Arlene’s Diner this morning( a special treat). 

Back home I mended two sets of flannel sheets.  It was one of those do it another day projects .  But then I remembered I didn’t want to buy new flannels when we would soon be into warmer nights.

Well I have four days of local newspapers to read and I want to pick up the knitting for a while this after noon so I’ll say so long for now.  Have a great rest of the weekend.
