Honk Honk

Recently the two little boys across the street were standing at the end of their driveway, pumping their arms up and down at passing cars, hoping for a honk. No luck that day.

But Friday evening (8/28) they were out there again, this time with a few of the other neighbor kids. Whenever a car came down the road, they all rushed to the end of the driveway and pumped their arms as fast as they could. Car after car honked for them.

I sat inside watching TV, smiling every time I heard a honk. I think I was just as thrilled as they were. It took me right back to riding in the back seat of my parents’ car, trying to get truckers to honk at us.

Fortune cookie

Even though I'm the only one in the office now, I'm not totally alone every day. Two days a week my manager comes from out of town and is there. Some weeks the division president also comes to spend part of the day. When he comes he always buys lunch. He usually asks what I want and some days I suggest things and other days I let him pick. The last visit he asked what I wanted for lunch and I said it didn't matter. He asked if I liked Chinese and I said yes. I gave him a menu that we had just gotten in the mail a few days earlier that was supposedly a new place. 

No idea what he ordered but I got sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. The chicken had NO sauce on it at all. It was tasty but not the sweet and sour chicken I'm used to. 

Any way, each meal came with a fortune cookie. I opened mine up and didn't realize it had something on both sides. At first I thought this was my fortune. I thought maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket.

Later I noticed this on the other side.

Hmm, I wonder what goal or dream I should go for. The only thing I can think of right now is to get my doctor to give me answers about my MRI.

My fall look

 I just love those things on Facebook where you can put your face into a picture. They had one that was called a caricature. To me it looks a little too realistic to be a caricature but I loved it. This is my new fall look. I want to be sitting on that porch with my cup of coffee. 

For whatever reason my comments won't publish on your blogs today. If you don't get a comment from me, it's not that I didn't try. 

Birds of a feather

 We have lots of seagulls flying overhead where I work. There have been mornings where the parking lot is loaded with feathers and it looks like there was a mid air attack.

One morning I got to work and spotted a larger feather on the sidewalk. I had to take a picture of it just because I might need it for a blog post.
