Typewriter? What's a Typewriter?

I cleaned out some files today and came across the instruction manual for our old Academy electric typewriter, which we still have, by the way.  We also still have Hubby's manual typewriter that he received as a confirmation gift many, many years ago. I wonder if Hubby or I would still be able to type on one of those ancient critters.

Illegal Operations or Substances

That's one of the choices for "type of service" on our  health savings account reimbursement site.  Ours were pretty basic--office visit, prescription, medical equipment.  

A Raincoat in Minnesota in February?

It may be crazy, but I'm not complaining.

When the Cat's Away,

the mouse will binge on Netflix.

Dear Crocus

Just because Iris decided it was time to wake up, that didn't mean you had to wake up, too.  Really, it isn't spring yet.  I know the temperature was 63° yesterday, and today it's 58°, but you will be sorry when you are once again covered by snow.  So just rest your pretty little head in the soil, and wait a couple of months before reaching any farther toward the sun.  And please spread the word to Tulip and Daylily. There is no need to interrupt their sleep.

The Missing Cooling Rack Has Been Found!

I thought I was losing a few of my marbles when I couldn't remember where I placed that danged cooling rack after dear hubby installed the pull-out baskets in the lower cupboards.  As it turns out, that danged cooling rack wasn't in the cupboard to begin with! It was in the trunk of a certain family member's car.  Now I have two danged cooling racks.  But you know the old saying, "One can never have too many danged cooling racks."

Dear Iris, You Are Confused.

You are in Minnesota, and it is only mid-February.  I know the snow has melted above you, but it's really too early for you and your friends to be popping through the soil.  Go back to sleep.  Soon more snow will come to tuck you in.

Where in the Heck is That Cooling Rack?!

A few weeks ago my dear hubby installed pull-out baskets in our lower cupboards, so I re-arranged all the pots and pans, lids and other miscellaneous items that were stored there.  The cooling rack that I stored there is missing.  I checked every basket, but sadly, I could not find that darned rack.  Yesterday I bought a new cooling rack at Target.  You know what that means, right?  Now that I have a new one, the old one will turn up shortly.

 

I Love Minnesota!

Okay, I'm not too fond of the cold, snowy winters, but I really do love this state.  

Cooler? Cooler?

The weather app on my cell phone says the weather is going to get cooler.  "Cooler" is not exactly how I would describe going from 7° to 1°.  I would say it's going to get COLDER, darn it anyhow!
