We Have Been Warned

During the week TV Land airs a few episodes of Gunsmoke back-to-back-to-back (and maybe one more "-to-back"). 

Now that I'm visiting Mom over my lunch hour, I've had the opportunity to see the channel's "warning" before the day's first Gunsmoke episode. I took a photo of it yesterday:

This program contains outdated cultural depictions.
Viewer discretion is advised.

Oh, no! Run for the hills! 😱

(As opposed to the above, my actual reaction was more like, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!")

Mom and I love watching Matt Dillon, Miss Kitty, Doc, and Festus!

Eli at Eleven

Our grandson Eli had a birthday on the 27th. He is now 11 years old. Wow!

Lew and I went to his birthday party today. It was at the Westbrook Community Center. All of the kids played a rousing game of wiffle ball and then we all ate pizza, chips, and cake. It was a fun and very chaotic time!

Happy Birthday, Eli! Grampa and Tia love you. 💗💗

Dad 643: It Was a Good Plan

(Dad writes today! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Third day in a row of cool, foggy, and rainy weather. Didn't even go to the store today. Will go tomorrow as we start a four-day rain-free dry stretch. Hopefully!

 

This will not be a very informative blog post. I must leave to see Lou for the afternoon in about 20 minutes. I've managed to waste the whole morning and do nothing. I had planned to write this post during the morning. My plan didn't work out. Should have been done hours ago. Must do better with my time.

 

I did manage to get a sandwich a few minutes ago!

 

I'll try to do better starting next week.

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

Adjusting, Part 273

So I may be exaggerating a bit with my title (definitely not my 273rd post about adjusting!), but I am still pretty much a zombie. LOL!

We had an all-company meeting at 7am this morning. I got to work at 6:50am. I was already tired at the beginning of the day yesterday!

I put my jammies on when I got home tonight and will go to sleep soon. But I first wanted to write a post to celebrate the upcoming World Series which will not include the New York Yankees! (The next-best thing to the Red Sox being in the World Series is the Yankees not being in it.) Best wishes to the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros. I'm not really rooting for one over the other, but I do hope they play some exciting games.

It's Fall! Play Ball!

Pumpkin Pancakes

The diner where Lew and I meet our friends for breakfast almost every Saturday morning is currently serving Pumpkin Pancakes on the weekends! They don't do this for very long (maybe until Thanksgiving), so I will be ordering them every Saturday until they say, "No more."

I survived week #2 of my new job, and I'm so tired that Pumpkin Pancakes are all I can think of right now. LOL!

And thus ends this blog post.

Dad 642: Upcoming Appointments

(Dad writes today! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Fall is now here. The weather today is bright and sunny. Temperatures are dropping (mid 50s). Bring it on. At least we are not getting snow like the Midwest did yesterday. Hold off the snow until next year.

 

I just ran out of ink in my pen. This new pen seems to be working fine.

 

I just saw my schedule for the next week. Quite busy. Tomorrow I have an eye checkup. My glaucoma doctor will look me over. I'll ask him if I'm getting old enough to stop appointments. He'll say all is good, so let's keep it going. I'll agree; see you in six months. After my eye checkup I'll go to see Lou for the rest of the afternoon until early evening. I still visit Lou every day.

 

Have nothing else scheduled until Monday. Must go to Walgreens to get my flu shot and my second shot for shingles.

 

On Tuesday the furnace will be serviced to get set for the winter. Then the busy six days will be over.

 

I should mention that I voted yesterday. Now I can listen to all those promos for another three weeks. Please go by fast.

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

Keep Going....

Five days of my new job down. Probably over 2,000 more days to go! 😏

I am still learning, of course, but I got another special project to do today. It will take me several days to do it, but I think I got off to a good start. Before I left, I sent an e-mail to my supervisor asking, "Am I on the right track?" so I guess I'll find out about that "good start" tomorrow!

Except for my first day of work, I have gone to visit Mom during my lunch break every day. She drinks her Ensure while I eat my lunch bar, carrots, and celery. We watch "Gunsmoke" and just enjoy being together. Yesterday we video-chatted with Kim for a few minutes.

Time for bed. I am tired!
