  • Looking Hopeful

    We had a good day yesterday - visited with my mother, went shopping at Goodwill (3 different stores), lunch out and finally dinner at my sister's house! It was a good day. My sister made a no-knead bacon chive bread that was fabulous. She also made a pork roast that was so tender and flavorful that it was irresistible. I wish I had photos for you but my phone has been trying to find a wi-fi connection and has worn itself out - not to mention drained its battery. I had a moment of hope - Sparky got a phone call from the people he had been interviewing with. They want to set up a phone interview and wanted him to give them his salary range. It is all very promising. So I start today a little more relaxed and a lot more hopeful. This is turning out to be a great vacation!!!

    To fulfill the May 2015 Scavenger Hunt, I leave you with a little haiku. It rhymes which is NOT how haiku work but I couldn't help myself! The prompt was bonsai.

    Bonsai stunted tree
    Twisted dwarf a mirrored me

  • I like the bonsai haiku. I love Goodwill days! :D

    • Thanks! I love that the haiku requires you to condense your thoughts to 17 syllables! The Goodwill stores were everywhere and the prices were cheaper than at home which was a surprise.

  • The food sounds delicious.
    Fingers crossed for Sparky.
    I'm glad you are enjoying your vacation.

    • We are all crossing fingers and toes! I really want him employed soon. I love that he can drive me to work or work in the yard and take care of some minor household repairs BUT he really needs to have that real job.

  • Yes, what Crystalinne said ~ sounds scrumptious!!

    • The bread was so good and the recipe very easy. I'm going to have to try it once I get home. Perhaps I'll post photos and the recipe!

  • Good wishes to Sparky! And meantime, have a great vacation -- hope it continues as well as it has begun!

    • So far so good. No matter what bumps there are in the road, we are determined to have fun - thus a bumpy ride is kind of like a carnival ride that is free! hehe!

  • You are off and running on this latest "scavenger hunt." Do you know "Seedsower", from Xanga? She lives in Oley, not far from Reading, PA.

    • Yes I know Beth but it doesn't look like I'll be able to drop in and say hi. I wish I could but the schedule has been too full!
