Drunk Again

OK, the truth. I have NEVER had a drink in my life. I HAVE felt really, really happy tho, after the muscle relaxant they gave me in the Hospital following a complicated, dangerous birth. If only that were OTC, I would be a life long addict by now.

What I am addicted to at present is the scent of the voluptuous star jasmine that drapes the iron fence on the front and side of Afton's yard. OMN! Such utter bliss! SOCAL is absolute Paradise-with the ocean, the breeze, the lush palm/bouganvillea backdrops. But to even have the fragrance straight from Heaven. How sweet it is!

Beige Flowers

SO my daughter has not exactly been world renowned for her optic prowess for a few decades now. And today, Afton earned another feather in her cap when a bouquet of flowers was delivered to her door. I thanked the florist delivery guy and turned to bring the red roses in to her. It was not however, a gasp of delight that escaped her lips, but a gasp of puzzlement, utter bewilderment. She smiled, and asked, "But what are those flowers in the middle? The beige ones." I smiled back at her. "Those big beige ones? They're a TEDDY BEAR, Afton, a flippin' 12 inch TEDDY BEAR!"

Did I mention she's blind? And blonde??
