Never A Dull Moment

Geyser's on the Terrace

This morning's rush was unique in that Jerry had to be somewhere early Monday morning.  He usually leaves his Monday morning schedule open to take care of any plumbing semi-emergencies that made it through the weekend and have become urgent priorities.  Despite the aberration,  the usual confusing mix of activities was in progress.  While I sliced tomatoes to place in the container under the spaghetti I was warming for his lunch, and cleaned the celery, Jerry made a beeline through the kitchen from one doorway to another as he said, "Have you noticed if there have been any grass clippings in the electric bill?"

Confused, I paused for a moment, trying to figure out how grass clippings and electric bill could somehow have a connection.  Nothing.  Without answering, I paused a moment longer. Have I noticed...grass clippings...electric bill.

Nope,  I didn't get it.

Knife and celery in hand, but still puzzled, I said, "What did you just say?"  I must have used italics when I spoke because he stopped in his tracks, turned toward me and said: "Have you noticed any drastic difference in the electric bill lately?"   Giggling now, I responded, "Do you want to know what I thought you said?"  As I waited for his answer, visions of my small, white-haired grandmother are flashing in my head.  Silent, listening, a tiny silly smile.

Yes, he decided, he would like to know what I thought he said. Although wondering why there could be a noticeable difference in the bill, I set that question aside for the moment and tried to tell him what I had heard him say.  Overcome by the giggles, the words couldn't find their way out of my mouth around my sense of humor. I thought back about noticing my Grandma not saying a word, and I understood something.   I managed to say a few words, but by now tears were streaming down my face along with the laughter, so in the end, words didn't have a chance.  I finally managed to sputter it out, and added  "Getting old is going to be so much fun!"

The heat in the floor of the master bathroom got hooked up last month.  Yes, it is lots nicer than cold tile in winter.

Note to self:  1.  Thank husband for warm floor.  2.  Pay electric bill.  3.  Smile.

Double Take -
at first glance I thought she was
 wearing a lei.
(This is Wyoming in winter where
lei's would be noticed.)
