The Plate Snatcher - Part 2

Now that my mother-in-law is back in town, she’s once again assumed the duties of official dish washer. Which means we are all once again on high alert for her sneaking up behind us and taking our dishes before we’re actually done with them. And she takes this job very seriously. She will stay up late to wash the dishes just so I can’t come in in the morning and beat her to it. Last night, I was teasing her that she couldn’t go to bed until every last dish was scrubbed and put away. Then, I made a big show of standing behind her to inspect her work.

And she won’t ever relax and sit still even for a few minutes. She rushes through her meal and then immediately jumps up to start on the dishes. I mean, my mother-in-law could be two inches from deaths door, and she’d tell the undertakers to stop and wait, so she could wash the dishes first!

Grass Angels

JR told me that now that Spring is right around the corner that he needs to start encouraging his grass to grow. So, I imagined him outside, laying in the grass, stroking the tender shoots, and talking to them. “There’s sun on my face, and my back is wet. Let’s do this guys! Photosynthesis on three!”

I guess what he meant was fertilize.
