I smiled too. Seems to be a happy toad too.

Heeheehee...

took the little dog for a walk

met people

met dogs

everyone very very friendly and smiley

then I got home

_______

I'd left for the walk in my boots and giant puffy down coat

and three plate-sized red and purple silk flowers pinned in my hair

_______

I'd forgotten about them after I finished practicing hair/make-up for a show

I musta been a vision out there.

Heehee...and nobody said anything...

I also stopped in at the corner store to buy milk ... people were there buying lottery tickets.

No one said a thing.

Frightened or admiring or just bemused - I'll never know.

but I laughed when I got in and saw myself in the mirror

Sometimes I feel like I live in Mr. Rogers neighborhood ehBeth. Always someone on the street to meet and talk to.

Today I was laying down white marble stones on the garden path, and had several conversations with passerbys.

One woman and I talked for 1/2 hour, and I only met her that moment. She was walking her dog. She too retired early early, and she said "Now I don't have to worry about what I wear. Every day I just put on dog park clothes."

Sounds good to me. You never know when you might get called to a dog park emergency.

This was way in the past, but you reminded me of something.

I know I told the story here, but oh well. I was once walking on the green belt, and tripped on a tiny piece of rock sticking out of the ground (I think it had to be attached to a boulder) Long story short, it caused me to do a triple gainer down a very steep, long embankment, bouncing off trees, and coming this close to going in the river. All during the fall/slide I was thinking "DON'T HIT YOUR HEAD" (I immediately hit my head) then "DON'T PASS OUT, DON'T PASS OUT"
It took me forever to extricate myself from where I had come to a halt by having my ass jambed into the crook of 2 trees, and to climb back up the wet, cold, slippery hill.
When I got to my car I said "I need comfort food. I need sushi" and went to Central Market.
I didn't know why people where giving me wide berth until I got home and looked in the mirror.

Jesus, it looked like I had fallen down a muddy embankment and had to battle squirrels to get out.

That's not just a smile, that laughing from me.

Thank you for providing my smile tonight, Beth.

Beth

You provided a colourful splash on a cold day!

Always good.

I know I shouldn't laugh, but......

Walking the dog across the nearby golf course today, I saw someone I knew and went to wave, but realised he was in the sandpit thing and concentrating on his golf swing, so I chose to walk quietly by until he'd finished his shot.
His mate gave me a look as I approached and said "he's not happy. He's just had an Adolf moment".

I looked quizzical. "Eh?"

"Two shots in the bunker."

That's what they call it, apparently.

That one made me smile, Lordy.

Although there was also a low grumble going on in my memory unit!

If your avatar were actually a picture of you...

...that crochet lion would look like you.

My twelve year old sitting on comfy chair munching on a bag of gold fish while watching the Disney channel with a big cat caught the canary smile on her face exclaiming I get to stay home from school and I am not even sick -

kid has pink eye and was sent home not to infect the other kids.

I bought basil seeds to start indoors.

Over here we put them in bowls. Couldn't you get her a packet of crisps or something?



These are much tastier.



Even footballers think so.

Just in case you haven't seen these before - they are crackers in the shape of goldfish.

You comment does give an interesting picture though and kind of goes with the theme of her smile ...
