I had, truly.
Then I read what was written on it:
"CHEERS TO THE WEEKEND".
Well, I can vouch for that!
Well, I can vouch for that!
Friday - and the cinemas being open - is tomorrow, making this the 'weekend eve'!
How better to celebrate than with this woman, at what seems to be 'our' lunch place?
That's right, we were at The King & I for our fix of Thai... hey, that rhymed!
(smile!)
Dawn and I spent a little over two hours, her with salmon, me with Nam Sod, just as we had in the early part of 2020.
That time, we talked of her latest Soup Party and were trying to plan a murder-mystery dinner at my place.
This time, we talked about vaccinations (we're both done!), family and friends that have not yet stepped up (but my brother Smitty and nephew Tyler did so this morning!), her 2020 wedding to her man and the summer wedding of a niece that she will officiate (party of 5 on 26 December in her backyard; party of 150 planned for June in Chicago).
We also talked of being tired of the pandemic, tired of the political unrest still plaguing our country, tired of myths being taken as gospel... just tired.
I know, I try to make it sound like I'm having a good time more often than not, but that's for my benefit, mostly.
I have to maintain a positive outlook, I just have to.
What is the purpose of living if there is no life to it?
Right?
That's why I have a lot of different 'places' to go to on afternoons and evenings, 'events' that don't require the need to mask up and travel with alligators.
(She got a kick out of the 'pets' I have!)
In fact, after lunch with Dawn, I had time for an errand before going off to "A Day At The Beach"!
One Hundred Miles had Stephanie out at Tybee for the 'facebook live' event...
and she had a treasure trove of shells of local marine life!
Channel whelks and moon snails!
Lettered olives and sand dollars!
And that item right there in this photo?
It's a mermaid purse!
No, seriously, that's its name!
That's what skates use for birthing their young.
I learned that today!
I had seen these, or pieces of them, on beaches, but never knew what they were.
Charming name for them!
Sauda Mitchell, featured artist for the "#art912: Re-Cor-Dare" talk, was sharing insights on the four different sections of her works at the museum.
I am most looking forward to this one, "Voyages", a rare exhibit that combines the senses of sight (the visual of the art and the poem segments by each piece), sound (a piece of music in the background that speaks of the ocean to her), and smell (as I'm sure I'll catch the tang of salt water in the air!).
Now... if only I can touch some of the pieces... just run my fingers in the air over them, to trace the shapes, the catch the texture of the fibers...
yes, I can definitely do that!
I buzzed over to Office Depot!
And why had I done that??
They have graciously offered to laminate the COVID vaccination cards for everyone that have completed their shot series...
When I handed the coupon to the young man at the counter, he practically bounced, he was so delighted!
He even told me, joyously, that he'd gotten his second shot - of Pfizer - just yesterday!
Marvelous!!!

Naturally, I felt the need to repay the favor from Office Depot...
so I bought two new masks!
One is a blue camoflauge print.
The other in the package was the one I was after.
It's a baseball!
It's a fairly USED looking baseball, too, like it's been part of one too many sandlot games.
Marvelous!
