What made you smile or laugh today? Part IV

If someone invents dressy, grown up opera clothes that feel like PJs, they’ll get so rich so fast.

I decided to wear a black dress with puffy sleeves, so that’s one problem sorted. :)

As to wearing weather appropriate clothes… I’m still not very good at doing that myself, so I have sympathy for your kids. At least they have the bonfires to keep them warm. Much like our midsummer bonfires - warmth is their biggest appeal to me. It’s almost always cold on May Day and Midsummer’s Eve.

We decided to skip the traditional May Day picnic brunch, because it’s just not warm enough for me. I’m previous years I’ve been to that park freezing my ass of in all sorts of weathers, in the name of tradition. But now I decided I’d rather have the brunch home, not freeze, sit by the table. This feels very grown up. Although there are lots of families and groups of friends with grandparent aged people taking part in the picnic tradition, so I guess I’m just lazy, in a way.

I might go for a walk in the park though to take in the atmosphere, or maybe I’ll just follow it online. Lazy. :D

Perfect!

There should be more of those yes.
I still miss a dress I had, long, sleeveless with a rather modest v-neck and a high but not quite scandalous side slit in a heavy, stretchy burgundy velvet.
It felt like going to the ball in a nightgown without anyone ever noticing that it was a nightgown.

We will have to drive one of the kids and her friend because they are going to be on a farm a couple of hours away. We’ll make the trip home a bit of a roadtrip and watch various bonfires from a warm car. Still getting better from the mancold.
 
What's with the bonfires? Is this some pagan ritual practiced by my northern European cousins? Can I come?
 
So my kid decided to go to his buss stop 2 hours early. He knew it was 2 hours early but he know more then mom these days. I didn’t try to stop him. I told him goodbye and to have a nice day. 1.5 hours later he comes in cold and shivering. He is a special needs young adult. He tells me it is cold out. It’s about 58 with the wind chill. He also begrudgingly tells me I was right. I simply replied with a grunt and continued reading my book like it was no big deal. Trying to save my guys ego a bit. 😂😂😂
Silly kiddo!
 
My sister and I have the same birthday 6 years apart. Normally when I tell people that, they say “That’s interesting” or “What a coincidence!” Someone, who shall remain nameless ( @AngelWithAShotgun ) Inquired what about that conception date made my parents horny. I will never be able to unthink that! 🤣

Did the math. My dads birthday 😬

I'm watching the PGA Championship. This year it's being played at a course called Southern Hills and I'm smiling at a memory from the last time thecPGA Championship was played at Southern Hills. It was in August of 2007 and on Sunday that year I was on the road, headed for New England. I drove quickly in hopes that I would get to my overnight stop in time to catch the last couple of hours of the final round. I did, and it was so very much fun to watch Tiger Woods tear the course apart on his way to victory that afternoon.
