I Must Be Dreaming...

Since I got the "good stuff" after my surgery, I have been dreaming the wildest dreams. I just woke up from one (and I haven't had any hydrocodone in 12 hours) in which we had bought a beach house, on stilts, right next to a cove. Only of course, it needed work. We were painting it. And for some reason, I was stripping paint off an old chest. You know what that's from, the buffet I bought back in March that has been sitting in my garage the whole time, being stripped and sanded in small bursts of energy. It's still my dream to finish that piece. Anyway, back to the main dream storyline, we had two large outdoor decks on either side of the beach house, which in and of itself, was not very big, just 4 rooms. On certain weekends we couldn't use it, because the Dallas Cowboys were playing football in the water and the decks were being used to watch the game, and of course broadcast the game. I sure hope all the players can swim. We also had invited friends out to use the house too, but the refrigerator door broke off, causing some problems. I don't recall if there were margaritas there or not, but you can bet, If I can afford my own beach house, I'm going to to have a Margarita Machine there, too. You are all welcome to come and join me.

What Are You Ordering?

Always, Always ask your child, even your teen, this question at a restaurant. Today, Father's Day, John picked Red Lobster for his lunch treat. We skipped church, and got there early. As the kids were getting out of the van I said twice "Don't order Lobster!" thinking this would cover things. Think again. Morgan ordered snow crab legs off the kids menu, not that bad, about $9. Travis on the other hand, order king crab legs. Jeeze. When the bill came, to me of course because it is "Father's Day" his food alone was $26.99. It appears that king crab is sold by the pound. When I asked him how much did he think that the crab costs, he said "ten dollars?" I guess he wasn't paying attention. But you can bet that next time, I will be.
Love you all, and Happy Father's day.
