Tuesday in Coosada

 

Goodbye, March .....
and hello April (cleverly disguised as June)

Thank y'all soooo much for your sweet comments on my new 'do' (hairdo, that is).  It honestly feels refreshing -- and for a change, I'm not tempted to AI-away my wrinkles.  I love this quote by Cameron Diaz:  "I'd rather see my face aging than a face that does not belong to me at all."

This week I'm ...

LOVING the new earbuds.  

Mind you, I'm not talented enough to build a customized station.  I just picked a few artists and asked Pandora to shuffle songs.   

Shuffle she did!  Everything from Fleetwood Mac, to Casting Crowns to ABBA to Nat King Cole.

There are few chores I loathe more than doing yard work -- but what a difference the music makes!  Good thing no-one was watching me rockin' and wiggling out there or they may have suspected I was having a stroke (lol).

APPREHENSIVE about Tom's decision to switch cable and internet providers.  

I've been pouting ever since DISH network dropped our local NBC affiliate, so Tom and his buddy tried setting up an indoor antenna -- to no avail.
Cancel that.  After much fumbling and finagling they managed to forge a path to the local news --but not so much the network.

He called Spectrum.  You know when something sounds too good to be true?   Hearing we'd be getting more 'oomph' for less $ -- plus complimentary installation, he was grinning from ear to ear.   Then yesterday, an e-mail stating our equipment would be arriving Tuesday (today) together with a "how-to" do-it-yourself video.

Remember those commercials, "Even a cave man can do it!"?   I'm not holding my breath!  For one thing, the desk in my office probably weighs as much as Tom's truck.   In the spring/summer of his life, Tom made a living in telecommunications, but.  Nowadays, we're old. Technology's evolved -- and left us behind, coughing exhaust fumes.

So, FedEx just dropped a parcel that looks no more threatening than a dress box.  To heck with 'complimentary' installation; there's a technician scheduled to be here tomorrow afternoon.

EXCITED to have Troy and Lois join us for a (day before) Easter dinner.  (Robert, Chloe and my favorite toddler are visiting family in Mississippi.)

I planned to serve Publix's baked Mardi Gras wings, only to discover none of the 3 stores in the River Region will have any available before 2 o'clock.  Evidently word has spread how good they are.   

Plot twist. I'm doing my tried-and-true Mississippi pot roast with Tom's mashed potatoes and salad.  I think Lois is bringing a side dish and I want to try a new dessert I saw on FB.  

Dump a can of peach slices in the slow cooker, followed by a box of yellow cake mix, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg and pats of butter.  Cook on high 2 hours and serve with ice cream.  (What could go wrong? Right?)

FINALLY, 

Yes, I'm still playing with AI.

I hope there's piles of smiles in your week!
