Happy March!
I'd initially planned to post something Monday eve ... you know, to observe my affinity for 1st's. Well, that didn't happen, but yesterday? I was all worked up to blog: Cold, rainy weather, (faux) fireplace ablaze... life is good!
Except. I remembered an upcoming birthday -- necessitating a card and stamps. To the Dollar Tree! ... where I scored not one, but a poke-full of St. Paddy's Day stuff and firm-bristle toothbrushes. Unlike a former co-worker, I don't observe the first of each month by saying "Rabbit" Rabbit!" but I do make it a habit to open a new toothbrush. Simple pleasures.
Tom's so funny. We were right there at Wal-Mart and he's in the mood for their frozen 3-cheese lasagna. I strongly suspect he just wanted me along to man the self-serve check-out -- but we wound up spending the better part of an hour. Aside from my father, I've never known a man who loves to browse the grocer's shelves the way he does.
OK, I'm blaming what happened next on a dear friend who (for the time being) shall remain anonymous. 😉
I'm busy scanning like I knew what I was doing, and Tom's over there bagging. I turned the cart about and began helping him load. Ready? Ready!
I'd not gone 5 feet when it occurred to me, I never paid for the groceries! Thank goodness, no-one seemed to have noticed but man, I was embarrassed.
Note to self!
Sorry, Linda!

Like a couple other March-baby bloggers, I've decided to celebrate my birthday all month long. And what better way than to jazz up the dining room?
This silk hanky was a gift to mother when my dad was stationed overseas.
As some of you know, he always bought me green carnations for my St. Paddy's Day birthday ... so ya, I feel bound to continue that tradition. (*smile*)
Oh, Tom says 'thanks' for the birthday wishes ... and kind comments on my 'scratch' German Chocolate cake. The other day Debbie and I shared a good laugh recalling when she visited me in Arizona and we made her a crock-pot chocolate cake. "To die for!" ... Best compliment ever!
So, I don't really want a birthday cake, but going forward, I'm taking a page from my DIL and let Publix do the baking.
Rather than spend hundreds on a professional cake for Grand #1's wedding reception, Lois bought several varieties and let everyone choose their own.
Clever girl uses those fleece throws they sell at Wal-Mart as table coverings.

OK. I'm gonna close and see maybe if there's a clogging tutorial to be found on YouTube.
Keep warm ... keep safe!
Hugs, Myra
