Sunday Snippits, Orts, and Smalls 102 in Postcards 4

• What makes a computer freeze? I’m going to attempt to write an entry this morning despite my computer.
• We took grumpy in to a dealership yesterday. Parts will have to be ordered. The cost of the parts have left George almost speechless. He should have known though as he spends his days with parts and more parts. He was left muttering that these were parts that were expected to last the life of the vee-hickle. I think Grumpy is well past his life expectancy. I muttered that back at him while reminding him that he liked being able to get out of his cars and trucks.
• We have been to several chase movies lately. I hate to say it but the new “Mission Impossible” was fractionally better than “Man from Uncle.” What a shame, but it was slow mo much of the time.
• I confess that I ate M&M’s at both films and had ice cream this week too. They don’t make folks too much rounder than me these days, but I am living with the guilt.
• Cousins: My generation consists of three of us….the pseudonymous Tim, John and I. I’m worried about Tim who has congestive heart failure. He worries about his wife who has dementia. One daughter and son live at home….the daughter is a nurse and the son a head injury.
• We are off to the ballpark. We will have a Hodad’s Hamburger for lunch…which will raise the guilt factor, and we will have a hopeful game. Last season, we were next to last, and, despite winning five games in a row last week, they are next to last this year too. That’s where the hope comes in. Perhaps they will win one more on this Military Salute Day.
• The Padre’s tickets were a gift from G’s boss. We consider them his bonus. He didn’t get a raise, but then again he still has a job as they restructure. He did get a small bonus this year plus the tickets. They are really good tickets and G loves baseball. I’ll bring a book. Did I say that?

• Himself: Playing his solitaire. He’s happy. He says we have paid off the Canal trip but we keep on adding more to the card. I remind him again that he likes getting out of his truck.
• Herself: The day is cooler right now, but I have the sunscreen ready. Meeting after game where my only job is to put out baskets. Toe is healing. New PT is a real stretch.
• Reading: The four Jance I ordered aren’t here so I will change authors for the day.
• Gratitudes: Life. That we chose well buying a school outfit. That I have denims that fit and that I found a denim jacket at a good cost.
