 No 'House' tonight!  Rotton!  Well, a least there's 'Mystery Diagnoses'.  I'm a big fan of the medical shows.  It's been a long hot day.  The hubby and I did yard work-'bout time.   Everything he has hurts including his hips-this he couldn't understand.  I told him it's because he hadn't work in seven/eight months.  Since he hasn't really done anything he hasn't used those muscles.  He's gonna really be hurting tommorrow.  Poor man, he's all scratched up-he got stuck in some briers trying to cut them down. (Now, Katy, stop laughing.  It wasn't funny.)  Oh, it's gonna really hurt when he tries to go to bed.  I do feel kinda bad for him-he did work today.  I did too but I did not do all climbing up into bushes and trees and briers patches.  I started cleaning up the flower beds and potted some plants.  All pretty boring but had to be done.

  The boys and I got caught in the rain-no, I take that back-we got caught in the hail.  We started to run but since we were two and a half blocks away it was kinda pointless.  Hail kinda stings when it bounces off bare flesh.  The dogs didn't seem to impressed with it either.   Well, at least it wasn't big hail. 

  I bought those two big containers of greeting cards in this evening.  I've got a card carousel I bought a couple of years ago when I was actually making and selling the things.  But the cards I'm talking about are the ones I got from Prof. Kelly's house.  Well, I say I got.  Jimmy really bid on them.  I would never have thought twice about them.  But since I have them now I thought it was time to look through them.  She saved what looks to be a couple of hundred dollars worth of cards.  For every occasion.  Handmade cards on recycled paper.  Fancy cards with special envelopes.  Boxes of cards.  Funny cards, pretty cards, cards with prints on them.  Some from companies that are no longer in business.  Some dating back to the 50's.  There are cards for everything under the sun.  Not just the normal things-weddings, birthday, graduation, Christmas-but for things like Boss' day and Make-a-Wish day.  I think there may even be a crazy cat day card.  It's just awesome-in a really weird sort of way.  I have never in my life seen anything remotely like this.  There is even an old box of 'Bridge' napkins from the 50's.  Does anybody still play 'Bridge'?  Do you think trying to sell some of this stuff-the old stuff at least-would be wrong or, I don't know, sleezy?  I wonder if anyone would actually buy it.  I don't know but it's still sitting in my living room floor.  I better get in there and clean it up-it's getting kinda late now.  Plus he should be back in a few minutes.  I can't think when he's around.  God bless and take care.
