Senior Citizen Simon is confused

Senior Citizen Simon is confused. Either that or he liked traveling in the motor home so much that he doesn’t want to give it up. He wanders around outside and then goes back to the steps on the RV and wants to get in. I did manage to get him to come into the house last night, and he spent the night sleeping between Ole and I, so maybe that will help him straighten things out in his little kitty mind.

But then I wonder about Ole’s mind too!! He got up during the night last night, went to the bathroom and then went to the foot of the bed, tried to pull the blankets up and crawl back into bed down there. That would have been the right direction if he had still been in the RV, but he wasn’t!!

Makes you wonder about old men, huh?

Now I know why I wasn’t ready to come home yet. I worked all day yesterday unloading and cleaning. Now I’ve got a pile of laundry to do. My poor washer/dryer will certainly be overworked today. Good thing they’ve had a rest over the last month. And Lovely Daughter had cleaned my house before we came home. It was so nice to come home to a clean house. And Ole got on the lawn mower yesterday at 10 o’clock and finally quit at 5 o’clock. He says he’s still got about four hours worth of mowing and trimming yet to do. Then there are three trees that still have chokecherries to pick that the birds didn’t get to. He’s got to make his prize winning chokecherry wine, you know.

We went down to the Local Watering Hole last night for supper – The Circle was there as usual, and Jane was in her usual form. Sarcastic and snotty. Last night her target was Lars. He and Lovely Daughter don’t go down to the Watering Hole anymore for a number of reasons, but it doesn’t make any difference to Jane if her target is present or not. So last night she was bad-mouthing Lars, and she hardly knows him. And then she got into it with Alice about what size motorcycle Lars should buy. Alice rides also, as does Jane. Alice started out on a very small bike because that’s what she felt comfortable with, then graduated up to a bigger one. Jane rides a huge honkin’ Honda, very old but very heavy and clumsy. And of course, Jane is always right and whatever she does is the correct thing to do, so that means everybody needs to start out on a big bike like she has. Alice kept saying it should be up to the individual and their comfort level. But of course Jane always has to have the last word on every subject, so that went on for a while and got somewhat heated because neither Jane nor Alice would back down on their opinion and neither was going to give up on convincing the other that they were right. Bob and Carol were sitting at another table a ways from all this, so I went and joined them.

So Jane’s at it again – or I should say is still at it. Another reason it would have been nice to stay on the road. Ole and I decided last night that we’re not going to be going down to the Local Watering Hole as frequently as before, mainly because of Jane and her antics. I hate doing that, as I love to visit with Bob & Carol and Ted & Alice and Dick. But I CAN’T STAND JANE!

But then you all already knew that.

It's not the size of your bike but what you do with it that counts. I think you should just invite your friends over to your house and forget about Jane. How's that for some unsolicited advice? Sorry, but she makes me mad!

Don't let petty Jane keep you from having fun with your friends. Your friends want to spend time with you, not her. As for Lars, he's spending HIS money for a bike, not Jane's. Besides, Hondas are soooo like yesterday, man.
