Last summer my hubby bought some beautiful hibiscus plants and planted them in front of the house. We thought they would survive the winter left outdoors, but they didn’t. I just looked up how to care for hibiscus over the winter and discovered that we should have brought them into the house for the winter. Oh well, now we know!
Supper was cookin' when I got home from work
by Mary AnneI was pleasantly surprised when I got home from work today. My hubby had done all of the laundry for the week (I usually do it on Saturday!) and he had supper in the oven! DiGiorno’s 3 meat rising crust pizza, my favorite! Ok, so it wasn’t Beef Wellington, at least I don’t have to cook it!
Dandelion blizzard
by Mary AnneToday as I was driving home from work, it looked like it was snowing! Upon closer examination I realized that it wasn’t snow at all, it was a blizzard of fluffy dandelion seeds! It was amazing to see. I’m glad I wasn’t near my house at the time, the thought of having to deal with those millions of dandelions would have been very upsetting!
Businesses along Main Street are closing down
by Mary AnneAs I drive down Main Street of our hometown, I have noticed over the past several months that more and more businesses are closing down, and the buildings just boarded up. I have not had time to keep up with the local news, so I don’t know if someone is buying all of the buildings and planning to tear them down and put in new buildings, or if it a “sign of the times” that Main Street is simply dying due to the invasion of big box stores like Wal-Mart and Target. I really don’t know what is happening; it is a mystery to me.
Wendy’s Restaurants
by Mary AnneI really like going to Wendy’s for their great burgers! And I like their baked potatoes. Their french fries are not as good as McDonald’s, but they are tolerable if they are hot and sprinkled with salt. I do wish they offered a salt substitute!
All that being said, I hate their restrooms! I have never been inside a Wendy’s restroom where there was a clean dry place to put a coat or a purse. In the winter time, I wear a coat that goes below my hips, and when I use the bathroom I like to take it off and put it on a hook. And I like to put my purse on a shelf or a hook. Wendy’s has neither, and I really don’t want to dump my coat and purse on the floor or in the sink. The sinks are stand alone sinks with no counter space to put anything, so if I do put my purse and/or coat in the sink they usually get wet.
So, Wendy’s, hear my plea! Put hooks and shelves in the bathroom!
