bye old friend

I said goodbye to a friend today 


    I have only known Sweetie for a year, but Jackie said Sweetie had to go.  Actually, she has said this numerous times, but I took action today.

    We met about 1 year ago in the produce aisle at Walmart.  She was mixed in with the other sweet potatoes, but I could tell we were soul mates.

    It's hard to describe her.  So here's a picture.



    Yes, that has been sitting on our counter since last Christmas.  I wanted to see how long it would last after it started growing.  Sweetie is still pretty solid, but it is time for us to part.  

    I unceremoniously dumped her into my compost bucket.  That's a tough way to break up.  I knew our days together were limited after Jackie told me I could not mash her for sweet potato pie at Thanksgiving.

    Speaking of Walmart, I am still dealing with unsteadiness when walking.

    I came out of the store today and a car stopped to let me cross from the store entrance to parking.

    I promptly walked into one of those huge yellow posts designed to keep cars out of the store. 

    Not only did I bang into it, I apologized!  What the hell??

    The driver patiently waited for me to decide what I was going to do, so I crossed and waved thank you.

    I am sure. they think I was drunk or something, because I just can't walk a straight line.

    Camryn noticed that when we went to Aldi Sunday an I veered left while walking to the car.  She wondered where I was going.

    8 more days to Christmas and I have no idea on gifts.  None.  But, there are 8 days left.

Peace and Love
