Well, my wallet's not really gone. But I love that episode where Morty Seinfeld hollers that out when he goes to the doctor for his sore back... and my back hurts today.I spent yesterday afternoon putting underlayment down in part of our kitchen, and then me and the guy who actually knew what he was doing decided to go ahead and rip up the old linoleum in the other part of the kitchen and the laundry room and bathroom. Ugh. The underlayment wasn't so bad, but tearing out linoleum is just not fun. I'm not used to manual labor like this anymore. But it will be much better having the linoleum out. It's all one nice even surface now. The new carpet is supposed to arrive next Tuesday. Bogie boy doesn't much care for the wood floor.
I need to mow the yard today, but I'm not sure if my back is up to bouncing around for 3 hours.
Photo: I could really use a dip in our pool in Punta Cana again. If you click on the pic you can also see the ocean in the background - just over the bridge.

This has nothing to do with anything you just wrote other than it will take place in the kitchen, but just in case mom didn't tell you, I think Drew and I are going to pick up some artichokes at the Fresh Market this weekend and make them Saturday afternoon for you and mom to try.
I know how much you enjoy trying new food.... :)
By Saturday afternoon I really meant Sunday afternoon. Oops
You should pick up the artichokes in Findlay and drive them to Fort Wayne, they're better when they've commuted. Just make sure they wear their little seat belt.
And remember, only some parts of the artichoke are edible. Anybody remember Euell Gibbons who told us that stuff like tree bark was good for us?
Dan - I'm waiting for the episode of House Hunters that shows you and Jane chucking your life in Yoder to find your dream house on the Caribbean shore. No linoleum to pull up, please.
I do believe it was Euell Gibbons who was responsible for my mom eating Grape Nuts for breakfast almost every day that I can remember growing up. I remember the spoof Johnny Carson did of him - I think he rode took a bike ride and then ate the bicycle seat....
Boy, do I ever remember ejoying that pool...especially with my wonderful husband.
I remember grandma eating grape nuts for breakfast almost every day that I was growing up. This Euell Gibbons fellow must have been something special. Grape nuts are sick.
I wish I could buy fresh artichokes here. The ones at Wal Mart looked disgusting on Monday. Fresh Market is the way to go
I love that episode!

Carrie,
Well, just wake me up Sunday afternoon, and I'll try to choke down an arti.
Joan,
Wow, Euell Gibbons - now there's a name you don't hear too often (are you sure he was the grapenuts guy and not a member of ZZ Top?). And, actually, Jane and I did discuss the possibilities of trading Yoder for the Caribbean. But... here we are. :)
Thanks for the comments everybody.
