Happy Thursday, fellow Islanders! :wave:

Apparently the early bird gets internet service however briefly. :facepalm:

I have missed you all keenly…. :crybaby:

Meanwhile, I‘ve celebrated my 70th birthday, rediscovered the pleasures of physically opening a cookbook to read a recipe rather than launching a search, spending more time outdoors, and laying stone at the bottom of the steps of our back deck.* :workout:

* (given how much time I now spend off line who knows how big a project this might become? :rolleyes:)

And though there is yet a new path to stray from, I couldn’t resist yielding to my Evil Twin when I saw this Patricia Nash in IRL. :whistle:

Happy Saturday, fellow Islanders! :wave:

Giving me the benefit of her totally unsolicited advice following my seventieth birthday, my argumentative younger sister advised me to “think about the future” when it comes to contemplating buying any more bags. :rtr:
And we both knew what future she had in mind. :death:

”Well look at it this way,” I replied. “If I don’t buy them now there’s no guarantee that I’ll be around later.” :cutesy:

No, tell me she didn’t. This is beyond ugh.
Kudos to your answer, Fim. I guess I would not have reacted so elegantly.

Oh dear, I think your younger sister will never change, Fim.
The more I read about her, the more I think she is just a spoilt brat .:tdown:
