It's been a while . . .

Just a baby

We've been busy lately just trying to get in our flying and walking! Went to a neat birthday party for a newly minted four year old and they had a crawfishboil and barbecue. It was great and a lot of fun. We also had Slaughter friends stop in Monday; we went to Big Mike's for lunch. I'd been wanting to go there ever since I found out on TV that Bar Rescue had rescued Big Mike's after the August flooding. I liked the show and was impressed with the fact that they completed the work in just three days in October, only two months after the August 2016 Flood. It's the biggest rescue they have ever done and it was unusual too because they usually rescue bars that are failing; Big Mike's is a 1.9 million dollar a year business! But they would probably never have reopened without Bar Rescue because besides the Bar their home also flooded and they didn't have room in their FEMA trailer for all their kids! Typical mess à la Louisiane. The trip to Big Mike's was well worth it. We enjoyed the food, the company and the waitresses. Hope to go again soon. We both liked it there. Maybe I'll even spring for a Margarita!

It seems I've finally managed to get the Early Learning Center to send me to help someone else besides the three year olds' class. Tomorrow I shall graduate to the four year olds. I'm looking forward to branching out! I truly enjoy Miss C and her sweet kiddos but I've really always wanted to help with different teachers so hopefully this will all work out well. They've already got me for the summer camp program and the lady in charge of religious ed has also reminded me she'll be calling me to help out again in their short summer program. That's cool as long as it doesn't conflict with any flying contests or Kiddo visit!

We think the baby Bluebirds have flown the coop. P&D's Pop watched them keep popping their heads out of the box yesterday but they wouldn't leave. This evening there doesn't seem to be any activity around the box. We have one more box still holding babies so we'll have to keep an eye out for them too.

Made a Polish dinner this evening and it was pretty darned good: Haluski - Fried Cabbage, Ham & Noodles. It showed up on Facebook so I decided to give it a try; worth making it once in a while. Of course it made a heck of a lot but we're going to turn it into Poboys tomorrow with Dijon Mustard and chips! Sounds good to me and easy peasy, just the way I like things to be.

Tried to order a full cover for my new iPad because it only has a cover over the screen but they don't have a full one for it yet. I left them a piece of my mind. Man, the back of it is very slippery and needs to be covered. I hope they come out with one soon - disappointed in Apple.

Also fighting with Terminix as they have not fulfilled their contract in the fight against termites - we don't have any but we don't want them either! I've telephoned and emailed them every day since last Friday to no avail. No one answers the phone - they just put you on hold and advertise their products! Finally I got sneaky and said I was calling about opening a new contract - sure as hell someone called me back but couldn't help me contact anyone about our present contract although he said he'd call the local manager. That didn't help so today I called and pushed the button to cancel our contract - sure enough a nice young lady answered my call and when I told her the real reason I called she set up an appointment for Tuesday between 8 and 10 am. She said she'd look into the problem with contacting service! Seems that's been happening a lot! No kidding! We may look for another pest control service that is local.
