The Thirteen Thursday Up Date
1. Last night I swore the moon looked like a Gollum with its eye on the brightest star in the sky.
2. I bet I can make you curse within three minutes. Try THIS.
3. Joe and I have a date to look up at the moon every night at 9 p.m. while he’s away at a month long silent meditation retreat in Massachusetts and I’m Home Alone.
4. The photo posted above was taken from my son Josh’s collage journal. It features one of my all time favorite photos of him as a boy and gave an early indication of the artist he would become.
5. My favorite part of the collage is the pencil on the blank page that says “This page is intentionally left blank.”
6. Josh’s favorite part is the four different colored bread ties in the left hand corner.
7. Joe and I hiked to our favorite secret orchard before he left for his month and discovered that our version of the stock market going down means no apples this year in the orchard.
8.
9. Number eight is intentionally left blank.
10. Don’t watch THIS while driving, while operating machinery, or trying to type anything sensible at your keyboard.
11. Send THIS to someone you love.
12. Last week I saw a woman shopping in a clown wig. She looked normal in every other way.
13. Another time I saw a woman shopping in her pajamas. I guessed she was sleepwalking on Ambien.

My work computer can make me curse three times in under three minutes. As for spying people in pajamas…I’ve seen people riding the bus in them, and one girl got on in winter wearing bedroom slippers. Takes all kinds…
(Love the journal, too, BTW. Grin.)

Nope, I didn’t curse about the cursor at all. Got a score of 40 twice, with a 32 in between. That sort of tells me that I’ve done pretty well learning to use my laptop with finger-controlled cursor.

Love the ‘I Love You’ as well as your preset date with Joe, so sweet. I wonder if I was the one you saw in pajamas. Living behind Food Lion means I have been known to take a last minute jaunt to the store for eggs etc if I started a late night cooking frenzy. *sigh*

#4 very special

I love #3–so sweet. I’m sorry about you not finding apples this year at your secret orchard—did someone get there before you? We’ve got three very small apple trees that produced enough this year for a few loaves of apple bread, an apple cake, and maybe a cobbler or two.

I got 19 my first try at the no cursor game and cursed when I missed, but as you can see my sister Sherry and her husband got a much higher score, so I knew I wasn’t that good at it and I tried again and cursed at the non-cursor again.
The woman in pajamas was in Micheals in Christiansburg. The were flannel with designs, no coat over them. She acted like it was everyday normal.
I don’t know what happened to the apples! We were earlier and I don’t remember any late frost last spring. There are a dozen trees and they were all empty with no sign of apples on the ground either. The pear tree was full but the fruit was small and unappealing to me. Doesn’t make good crisp.
#9 Thanks kenju, I certainly didn’t intend to count wrong. I fixed it.

#8 – fill in your own: PUMPKIN time! Happy October!!!
