| An Expendable Character (Redshirt) |
|
Since your accomplishments are seldom noticed,
and you are rarely thought of, you are expendable.
That doesn't mean your job isn't important but if you
were in Star Trek you would be killed off in the first
episode you appeared in.

Who woulda thought? And here I thought I was so valuable....
Aside from that...
It just keeps raining here at regular intervals. VERY regular. Just as soon as the jobsite gets almost dry enough for them to work, it rains again. Strangest thing I've ever seen! Hubby has applied for some welding jobs... Maybe he'll get on at Jeffboat and build barges for the winter! He sure needs to get outa the house and earn a buck!
So, we went home for the weekend and played with the grandkids, spent Sunday afternoon with our daughter, s-i-l, and their friends. That was amusing. :) I took along a bucket of persimmons (this is where the persimmon pic would appear, if I hadn't left said persimmon in her freezer so I couldn't take a picture of it!), and the chef in the group got to rub them thru and concoct a baked custard--which was VERY tasty! It really hadn't occurred to me that anyone would get off on squashing gooey fruit through a sieve, but then, I've done SO much of that, for years and years! In fact, I had to restrain myself while we were home, and NOT pick up gallons and gallons of them--for once in my life! Very strange. But I still have lots stashed away in 3 different freezers!
We packed our car and left our son's early Sunday morning, spent an hour at Mom's nursing home, drove on to our daughter's, left the car in the driveway with the windows down (and the dogs tied in the back yard) for 4 hours, then drove the rest of the way back, unpacked the car--and discovered A CAT UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT!!!! A LIVE CAT from the gang at the farm! He is now hanging out under our RV, missing his litter mates. Follows me and the dogs when we go for walks, being extremely vocal about his lot in life.
Speaking of 'walks'. It's way past time....
