Uh Oh....

Good thing: Walking into the kitchen at exactly the right moment. 

Bad thing: Leaving the dish towel on top of the skillet's lid. That's on the lit gas stove. 

FIRE!

(Sadly, a dish towel died in the making of last night's meal.)
(Sadly, it was my favorite.)
(Happily, said towel was the only casuality.)


OK, people, do you kinda see a trumpeting elephant in that first 
photo,and a more contrite one in this second photo? 
Good! I thought so! Me too!

expect anything!

The above happened last evening. 

Now on to more important things! Today at 9:45am, MPM and I are driving into NYC to meet Daryl and Kate for lunch. Can't wait - what fun we'll have! Plus, we're bringing Daryl dirt. For her window box. We're nice like that.

And one last important thing, I got my ~pay it forward~ box from Daryl today. A lovely tote passed on from a dear departed friend of hers that I am TOTALLY HONORED to have recieved, plus a wonderful funky hand-made key ring. Not sure how I'll pay-it-forward, but I will, oh yes I well. Actually this is the second time I've been the chosen recipient of ~pay if forward~. The first time Diane (AsthmaGirl) PIF and sent me a sourdough starter. I never PIF for that one and I feel very very baaaaad!  So I guess I'm just gonna have to come up with sumpin wunnerful!  Twice over! Pooh!

  9. Once again, my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. Not that I'm feeling left out or anything.

    Hope you have a wonderful day. Hi to Daryl and Kate.
