I Spy

Posted on January 3, 2005 by Frog

Yesterday we were over at the new house fixing some things–all most all of it glamorous items that anyone who visits us will never notice (shelving in the garage, one of the spotlights was re-wired, the attic floor was secured, etc). While the better half was re-wiring the spotlight I took the sling blade out and beat on some 4-foot tall weeds–who lets that stuff grown in their yard anyway? As I was doing that I noticed an older man walking down the street. I waved to him and he turned his head. Nice. Even nicer is that he walked about 4 more yards and turned around. Dude, I know you were spying on us since you live about 2 doors down (I’ve seen you before) and you turned around right in front of our house. It’s OK to be curious about the new freaks in town but if one of them waves at you–pony up and wave back.

    I am going to install some attic stairs soon and was doing a search…..your blog came up. You have been entertaining me for an hour! And what’s more, you write with a very dry, sarcastic wit and anybody who knows my personality would think that this is my blog! NOT KIDDING! I’ve been trying to get off my butt and pen a book for the last few years, but things called life, mom of a teen and laziness keep getting in the way. I am in S. California, but my best friend lives in Abingdon, VA. (I’ve been there to watch the grass grow a time or two). Are you anywhere near that area? I know quite a bit about Chinese astrology…..was your husband born during the year of the sheep/goat/ram or is he just stubborn? :) Have a nice evening…..thanks for the entertainment!

    I’m glad you have been amused. What a great comment. Thanks so much.

    We live in Mechanicsville, VA. I have travelled to Abingdon so many times for work. I love eating at Alison’s. Abingdon and Mechanicsville are about 5 hours away from each other.

    My husband is a sheep in Chinese astrology–good guess. I’m a monkey.

    Hi Monkey-Frog! :) Well, you won’t believe this one—I emailed my pal in Abingdon and asked, ‘what is the name of that restaurant where I LOVE that warm-potato-soup?’ (There is no such thing on this coast)….. She wrote and said, ‘Alison’s!’ LOL (I also love the fried okra at Cracker Barrel!)

    Stay warm, Frog…I hear a big storm is coming! I’m a snake with the water element.
