Five good things that happened this week.
1. My friend, Al, posted a picture of her radio days for a TBT. She had told me at broadcast school she had to say words and phrases to rid her of her Boston accent. I wrote: Ahthah's Hahdwheah Stohr in Ahlington (Arthur's Hardware Store in Arlington) on her FB post. She commented: FB asked me if I wanted your comment translated... from German. FB can't understand a Boston accent. 😺
2. Himself's Brother, Brother's Wife, Brother's Daughter, and her Boyfriend came to help move and assemble Himself's new massage chair. Kind of them to help the Weebles.
3. The Young One and I practiced making the books for the November workshop. So fun to work with her.
4. Since we're semi-retired and not doing as much driving, we down-sized to one car. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in Midnight Black. I named the car Moose.
5. A cold, rainy, afternoon and a nap called my name.
How was your week?
When I got home from visiting MIT in Cambridge when I was looking for a grad school, I used a stencil and puffy paint to make a tee shirt that read HAHVAHD. It got a lot of comments because both mid-westerners and southerners (ya'all) don't speak Boston.
ReplyDeleteA hybrid car is always good. Sounds like you and your daughter had a lot of fun together and got some books made, too. It was a pretty good week in your world, I think.
Your sweatshirt made me laugh.
DeleteSounds like a good week. I would like to upgrade my transport - from walking shoes to bike, or perhaps a trike would be better at my age! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI can just see you wheeling down the bike path along the Rhine.
Delete2/3rds of the kitchen has a back splash AND i like it!
ReplyDeleteDaughter/Daughter's Husband and Granddaughter are driving from CA to here to spend a month!! Husband a week as he has work to get back to...
Forecasted some much needed rain next week starting tomorrow night..
Hubby sold a bench he made from an old head board and foot board..
I carved out some time to paint on my huge fish painting... felt good..
Congrats on the new car! We only have one vehicle too although its a big ole truck. I grew up in the Pennsylvania/New Jersey area but i must have been south of where that accent starts.. Have you read the Stephen King book Dolores Claiborne? I think he did a mahvelous job with the accent...lol Hugs! deb
A good week for you, too. The accent pretty much starts and ends in Boston. 😺 I read all of King's works, but I don't think I read Dolores Claiborne.
DeleteI laughed out loud at #1!
ReplyDeleteI laughed, too, when Al told me.
Delete#1......hysterical! :D
ReplyDeleteIt’s a great story
DeleteAs a fluent Southern-speaker, I can hardly speak against y'all speaking Boston ;) The offer to translate is hilarious lol
ReplyDeleteTranslate from German no less. Hilarious 😺
DeleteYou have a hybrid and named it Moose. I love it;)
ReplyDeleteMoose is huge compared to TARDIS, Gif, and Idris, the Corollas i have owned

Sorry, I could not help myself :-)
Yes, we also only have one car now. And I haven´t driven any in three years, a tad... scary.
Good: Hubby now has to take Fridays off and we got loads of Braunschweig stuff yesterday - and half a real pizza is waiting in the fridge, yum.
To good times!
A tongue twister! Too fun. Pizza is my favorite
DeleteWe have rain today-Saturday- but didn't get much the other day. Oh this rain is so needed. Sounds like a good week. I don't know if I am ready to go down to one car though. I like to be able to get up and go. Moose sounds like a good one though.
ReplyDeleteAre schedules aren't overlapping so either one of us can get up and go.
DeleteSounds like a great week! Nice to see family and I love the name of your new car, Moose is perfect ...lol 😀. I received a card from Nan this week, seems like August has been a bumper month for happy mail - yay! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI hope you show your happy mail.
DeleteMoose - that's a good name for the car.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It fits 😺
