The Kitchen Table

A heartfelt thanks to FlamingO

18 years ago

I'm truly touched. I came home today to find a package on my doorstep from FlamingO. I proceeded to open it and find a bunch of dish scrubbies made by FlamingO's mom which are amazingly well crafted and will get excellent use. Then as I look further into the package, I find a little glass dolphin (my favorite) and on FlamingO's note, she tells me that it belonged to her brother's girlfriend who I know was someone who meant a lot to Flamingo. It really touched me that she would give me this little trinket and memory of her own. Thank you very much. Your friendship means the world to me.

I have those kinds of dreams too, very frustrating to me. And rest assured, Deb- your privacy is valued very highly around here. NO ONE enters a closed door, in fact, if we even see the door closed, we beat feet to the other side of the house to grant even MORE privacy. And we don't use litter around here, all the cats go outside to potty, so factually, your dream was way off! lol It was nice of Murphy to help you out, though. He's a good boy. Lunchy, too, he's huge. Sammie has a bathroom fetish, he likes to sit in your lap while you're occupied. And usually his feet are cold and wet, because he likes to "swim" in the water bowl. Brrrr!

Just got back from Montgomery AL. We saw a huge number of cars outside of the Texas Roadhouse Grill so DH said let's stop for a late lunch. We waited in line for 10 min just to get on the wait list. We couldn't imagine what the deal was. When we got to the head of the line the hostess said it would be a 45 min. wait. We said OK and went outside to sit in the sun and eat peanuts and talk. We were listening to a couple next to us and realized why there were so many people waiting to eat. FREE dinner for every single service person current and past. Wow...I asked the hostess who is also the owner how many they had served when we got to our table. She said 300 !! Montgomery is home to Maxwell-Gunter AFB. The manager said they had also collected $10,000.00 in gift cards for military personnel. Pretty nice thing to do. c

Oh, good, it got there in good shape? I'm glad you like it! I worried that I hadn't packaged it well enough, Erin. Bobbie loved everything to do with the sea, actually she loved everything, period, but most especially sea life. I knew you had a thing for dolphins, a tattoo, right? So I immediately thought of you, sweetie, when I looked at it recently. I have many, many reminders of Bobbie, in fact I'm wearing one of her nightshirts right now, it has a giant fish on it. She will always be special to me, I want so much to be more like she was.

And be sure to use the scrubbies and dishclothes, I can always send you more when you need 'em! You are so very welcome, Erin. I treasure your friendship, too. And I'm still nibbling at my tomato jam you sent me!

Thanks, Bump. You're a doll, too. And Liz, you're all very sweet.
