I have some pics from this week, along with a couple of stories, so enjoy!
Last Friday...

Wouldn't even know it's been raining at night for the last couple weeks... |
 |
Finally- wild strawberries |
 |
Big for them, and the usual in taste- water with a hint of flavor |
 |
Some strange wildlife out there |
 |
Sometimes Mother Nature needs a hairpick, too |
 |
Doggie and daisies |
 |
Possible varmintage, unconfirmed |
So story #1 comes from Thursday afternoon and a trip to IHOP. Laurie ordered classic eggs benedict with hashbrowns. Received avocado eggs benedict. I ordered the Big Breakfast Burrito with hashbrowns. Now, the BBB is essentially a kitchen-sink style omelet, only wrapped in a burrito shell, with scrambled eggs inside. What I got was a kitchen-sink omelet- and three pancakes. The waitress- who was delayed in taking our order by having to make change for an elderly gentleman, and could have wrote a novel with the typing she did on her pad to take our order- apologized, noting it was her first day. I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with no evidence of a trainer within a thousand miles of the poor girl.
Laurie had them redo the order for her; I just said, screw it, it's essentially the same thing. As I was stuffing the last bites of the omelet in me, I heard someone at the kitchen ask our girl, "Hey, did you have a Big Breakfast Burrito for someone?" I just laughed.
On to Tuesday, pictures-wise...

A lonely dude at the landing was minding the PFW rent-a-kayak stand. Despite a great day for it, didn't seem to be any takers. |
 |
Amazingly, Misty was content to sit... |
 |
Apparently the cutbacks at PFW included pond maintenance |
 |
Thanks to Canada wildfires, I present the strawberry moon... |
Second story was from the way home from IHOP, when Laurie invented the new word, "blungled." It came from her misreading of a license plate. Form the car of a U of Michigan fan, it red BLUNGLD- "Blue and gold", which Laurie read as is. I said, what a great new word...
Next up, a brief treatment of yesterday...
 |
More rain threatened the whole day (as well as today), but we managed... |
 |
Misty after varmintage at the swamp... |

Lovely photos. Dogs love ❤️ the water 💧
ReplyDeleteNot all. Two dogs ago, we had one that was scared of the water. And cats. And blowing leaves...
DeleteThat poor girl messing up orders on her first day, not a great start, hope things improved for her. Great photos, hope you had a good Father's Day
ReplyDeleteLaurie stopped by before we left and encouraged her. I thought to myself, "She probably thought there'd be no tip. We don't do that."
