« Last post by River City John on Yesterday at 05:05:26 PM »Once again we were hosted to a fabulous brunch in Lincoln in honor of Mother's Day.
Fresh fruit, Caesar salad, chicken salad on bakery croissant rolls, bruschetta and a weighty concoction of chocolate and cream-filled cake. Plus a Mimosa.
An unexpected surprise, Our granddaughter Emily has been taking a woodworking class in school and made Lynn a table for Mother's Day. Birch inlaid with walnut. She made use of a table saw, planer, joiner and programmed a laser cutter to incise a design on the top, which was filled with epoxy resin to match the walnut. Then hours of sanding with progressively finer grit for a hand-rubbed finish.
Although it was Lynn's Mother's Day present, I sense a subtle nod to Grandpa.
The only caveat - when it comes time to redistribute the estate, daughter and son-in-law want it back.

I was not going to own up to my latest, but since you opened to door, I'll testify....
I flipped my electric mobile scooter; it reared up like an Unbroke bronco.
Landing on my back with front wheels pointed towards Heaven, and me on my keester still in the seat.
I'm glad no one saw it, Hell I even laughed at my own ridicules position.
I was unhurt but might have turned out way different. The tools, 18V cordless drill, 16 oz hammer,
a pair of plyers, a bag of screws, the scooters charger, my ball cap and sundried misc. parts catapulted over my head at some force.
The above missiles missed my face and cranium by about a foot. Nor did I smack the back of my head
or cause whiplash.
I was in the seat, something akin to a space launch position. No one home, cell phone in the house....
Laying there for several moments, assessing any personal harm.
The whole experience, was like in slow motion, when I realized I did not off myself, and absurdity set in
I laughed, looking around assuring myself no one, anyone saw my stupidity.
Note to self, DON"T try to jump the sidewalk from the lawn at a 90-degree angle. the wheely that ensues
is not sustainable because the scoot is both top & rear heavy.
I figured I might have some pain set in sometime later, so far so good
Feel better Major, laugh at my Wreck, laughter is a feel better remedy

Real bread, not that Yuppie Artisan stuff full of holes like Swiss cheese, a crack as big as the San Andres fault and little flowers drawn on it.

Coffee and tea are ready.
"Tis 45 and sunny. "Breezy. Warmer. Mostly sunny. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 80s. Southwest wind 10 to 15 mph increasing to 15 to 25 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 20 percent."

Because of a fluke we had to go to Costco on Wednesday, not the day to go. Went early afternoon, first try no old people carts, so went to the Walmart nearby, came back and the same, went to lunch, place we chose was not real busy but most were, mostly old people though for what there were, half full and it's pushing 3pm. Costco was the same, no carts, Took the Walmart plunder back home, had coffee and headed back, no carts, decided to sit on ledge and wait, a friend came in with one, talked a bit, second one did not come so I got a push cart. Mostly made it, decided to test out a fancy easy chair, was nice, but way to expensive and Rita finished up and we paid, loaded and left.
