It wasn’t our car

Most of the time I just mention what I am doing and seriously resist talking about other members of the family. But this morning I just can’t resist. Since I have been home on my longest day of the year (also coincidently April fools…) I have been dragging myself out of bed in the morning and heading straight to the coffee maker.
This morning, George offered to make a latte run. Who am I to discourage such initiative? I used my handy-dandy app and order. AKA – I buy, he flies.
The next significant amount of time passed in a blur of me cleaning up, trying to find the top of my desk in the craft room and plugging in various electronics.
Finally I hear noises in the kitchen. He had gotten the coffees then walked over to Cheese Board for muffins and scones. Problems then ensued. His key fog won’t open the car door. Neither would the key. Blue VW Golf? Check. Parked on Vine between Walnut & Shattuck? Check. He looked around again. There was another VW Golf parked two spaces back from where he was.

It looked a bit tired, and nowhere near as clean. But, jackpot! The key fob worked and he was able to head home with the lattes still pretty warm.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
