Had A Not So Great Day
I have done some dumb things in my life but today was just one of those days! I went to back out at Walmart and had a large vehicle beside us. As I backed out slowly we heard a thud! My DH said you hit someone! I pulled back into the parking spot quickly. I had backed into a small black car that I hadn't even seen!
We bought a new 2012 Grand Caravan van in Feb. It is large and high and this car's roof was just the same height as the solid part of our rear door on the van!!
So of course we had to call the police and insurance agent and the young man who was driving the car was so sweet. I think he was about 18 or maybe 20. He was there on an errand for his job. He cooks at the local Casey's gas/groc. He called in to tell them he would be awhile and he was still on the clock getting paid for standing there so he was alright about it all. He was saying things like this kind of thing happens!
I still felt really bad about it all.
Then when we were done we went on to pick up my grandson and my daughter asked me to drop my granddaughter off so she could spend the night with a friend, Only Sara never told me where to meet the mom. We were to meet at a local park where there is a small restaurant and there are many places you can fish from the river right there. So we get there and I have no idea what color the car is or where we are to meet. AND neither my cell phone or my DHs cell phone would pick up service.
So I walked up to the busy little restaurant and finally after a bit of hassle from a waitress borrowed their phone and called my DD and got the info I needed. We found the mom and delivered my granddaughter. Zach my grandson smelled the food and wanted to eat there. My DH didn't want to. So I decided to order and take it home. but when I went into the little restaurant they were really busy. One of my pet peeves is to be ignored in a place of business. 3 of the waitresses were filling tea and making new coffee and such in front of me. I had sat down at the counter hoping to order and get done as quick as possible. I knew they were busy but not ONE of those ladies looked at me or said anything. No "be with you in a minute" or even a smile!! I hate being treated that way. After waiting for a few mins a differant waitress came over and asked if I had been helped. Saying no she offered to take my order. Just then I heard the cook say they were out of french fries. This was the reason I came in was to get Zach french fries. He is autistic and will only eat certain things. So I thought I would order some chicken nuggets for him at least but when I asked how long she said it would be 45 mins to an hour!!! I thanked her and got up and left!! Just NOT my day!!
We ended up taking Zach to a gas station close to home that has a grill. He had 2 hamburger patties and 2 orders of fries(small orders) and he was happy as a clam. So was I since I didn't have to cook supper after all!!
Such is life in my world I guess!!

Maggie and Molly
I have two babies named Maggie and Molly. Maggie is a blue tick beagle. This means she is a beagle but she has the coloring of a blue tick hound. Maggie is 13 yrs old now.
Maggie is our moocher! She'll do anything for food!! LOL She loves it when the grandkids come because then she gets lots of food!
Molly is a German Short haired Pointer. She is 8 yrs old. She drives us CRAZY! LOL She eats everything she gets ahold of. But she is such a sweet baby. She has a gentle nature but she is part goat! Actually she is purebred and beautiful but I just wish she would learn to be a lady! She is a tomboy for sure! LOL
I love her to death but she is such a thief! She has even gotten so bold as to jump up at my work table with me sitting here and tried to steal a plastic container that had been my dessert! I caught her at this last night!
I can't give her a sheet or blanket to lay on as she will strip it over time and eat it. Makes a mess outside!
She has eaten kid's socks and I have found baby socks whole outside! She eats small toys and any thing she can find. Her favorite is paper of any kind but especially napkins. She loves loves napkins. Don't know why!
She has a phobia about rain. She hates to go out to do her business when it is raining!! LOL This morning I got up and went to the door to let her out and she stopped in her tracks and looked outside at the rain. She refused to go outside! I have in the past had to throw her out literally and she is very strong and no light weight!!
I put my arms around her and talked in her ear. I told her I know she doesn't like the rain but she HAD to go outside whether she wanted to or not!! I let go and opened the door and she tripped right out the door!! Just as if for all the world she knew what I said!! *Grin*
Molly
Maggie
Maggie does several tricks. She will sit lie down and roll over for a treat.
But she does more of an in the air flip anymore than a real roll over! LOL
And she has to have carpet under her or she won't do it!
She was outside and I was trying to get them to sit for this picture. She thought I wanted her to roll over and she actually did it on the concrete! I was so surprised! But her love of treats over ran her need for a soft surface! LOL
She and Molly both can sit and I put a treat on their nose and they flip it and catch it --at least part of the time they catch it!
Another thing I taught them is they have to sit on command. Head has to stay up as I put treats on the floor by their paws. They can't look down and they have to stay still until I give the release command.
They both do this quite well. Then I say okay and they SNAP up those treats right now!
The one thing Molly DOES NOT do well is to come when she is outside. She will come to my DH but not to me!! Frustrates me! Inside she minds perfectly most of the time. Outside all bets are off!!
They both spend most of their time around my feet as I work at the PC or on my sewing machine.
Gotta love them!!! Rhonda
