Stuck at Home

My front door is often difficult.  While I was on vacation, it gave those watching my home fits.  It acted fine until a few weeks ago when it completely fell off.  Fortunately, the back door was open so I could get in to my house.

So I went and bought new door knobs.

The instructions read "Remove old door knobs.  Replace with new."

?!

Sure, removing the old ones were easy, since they were laying on the ground.  Replacing the new ones....not so easy.  After repeated attempts, I simply gave up and put the old ones back in and they are still there.  Coming in from the outside, they work.  However, I can't open the door from the inside.

Needless to say I'd like to meet this technical writer and punch them in the nose.

Don't Forget....

No, she's not dead.  She's at the Alamo.  Looking for Peewee's bike.  Good luck!

Wait....it's right over there!  In a tiny town in Ohio!!!

Friendships and Puddles

During a recent Fun Friday event, a haiku challenge was issued.  Now, I don't know what YOU do at a party, but hey, it was Fun Friday and it was National Jump in a Puddle Day (or something).  It was also "bring something stuffed" for dinner night.

Here are the results, in no particular order:

"Rain, puddles, and friends
Let frivolity begin
may it never end"

"Reflection of you-
But when walking in tandem,
Puddles reflect friends."

"How can one feel stuffed
with close friends gathered for fun
Leaves one craving more."

"Open, empty, clean
Ready to receive the goods.
Pillows, peppers, me."

"Hungry friends gather
Food tastes better when it's stuffed
Time for a nibble."

"The rain never stops
Is it time to splash a friend?
Yes!  Then come and eat."

"Rain drops on a pond
filling it up to the top
Now that's a puddle."

"Someone" had a birthday - one where the front number changed. It called for a special commemoration/celebration. It coincided with Pat's birthday, so we really had to come up with something good. ROAD TRIP! Do you recognize it? From the movie? Christmas Story! And they do tours! Special feature: January babies often get overshadowed and forgotten after the holidays. Happy birthday!
