Today’s old A&J is from four years ago. I apologize for being away several days. I have had a busy work schedule this week, and family matters required time as well. It’s a holiday weekend! Are you ready for Washington’s Birthday? Are you ready to purchase new linens and towels? How in the heck do you suppose the tradition of “white sales” to celebrate the birth of the Father of Our Country got started? I grew up in an area devoted to the manufacture of high-quality sheets and towels. I should know the answer, but I don’t.

We have promised to carry clothes from XS (extra small) to XXXXL (really large) in our little shop. It is hard to find attractive clothes, much less skimpy, in large sizes but we are.
A sundress arrived in mail and Ghost said it had so much fabric it weighed ten pounds. But we are promoting pretty women of all sizes not just skinny ones.
Discrimination is that chubby mannequins cost more.
Here;s one for Debbe, even has a snoring cat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIDEC2h4dZo

Looks like Birthington’s washday out there. We had thunderstorms with lightning and heavy rain this morning. Rain looks to have stopped but it is still heavily overcast.
Our weather finally is what we’ve expected for months: WINTER! We’d had just an inch or two of snow for Christmas Day and another short-lived snow a few weeks later. Today we’ve awakened to over 4 inches of the stuff and perhaps more on the way. Also the forecast is for single-digit nights when this storm moves out.
Frankly, this has been the strangest winter I’ve experienced in Utah, with highs in the 40s and 50s until today. Our ski resorts would have been shuttered months ago if not for modern snowmaking gear. And every time I looked at the weather reports, I saw places back east getting unusually cold, snowy weather.
So, it’s time to start digging out.
Good morning villagers….
Will be almost 60 here with a spot of rain here and there….but rain the rest of the week. Bring it on.

Debbe, I turned 61 a couple of months ago….Oh you meant the temperature? Yeah 63° here and we may have a lot of flooding too.
You’re funny Steve…it’s 63 here now…and I turn 65 in August……yeah medicare and it’s supplements….hell I wont be much left to my SS, but such is life.
And yes Mark, I love that from Cheech and Chong’s “Dave’ not here”

I turn 65 on May 14 this year. I hope to keep working until I am at least 70, primarily due to the cost of medical insurance.

Hmmm – almost 7 hours of silence here. Maybe more than I are doing taxes. Mine will be the simplest in years, as nothing was sold during the year, so I’ve none of that capital gains/losses garbage to deal with.
I just checked the Decorah eagle nests. There are no residents in sight, though they ought to be around since egg-laying season is nigh. In the north nest, I did watch a tiny mouse-like critter scooting all over that capacious abode. Likely, he/she won’t be seen much once the aquiline types take up residence.
Meanwhile, the Berry college pair of eaglets seem lively and are eating up a storm. The parents have provided a varied menu of (at least) coot, rabbit, and anonymous fish. Maybe they could employ a fly catcher as baby-sitter in return for not eating it! Those nests really draw in the flies, even this early in the year.
Good morning Villagers…
gotta a special that is my favorite…it’s been shown before…
hope you got the coffee first!!!!

Ref today’s cartoon, I observed that Janis “Supergirl” Day’s skirt is several inches too long. I speak to this in my professional position of “Miniskirt Buyer”. 🙂
Back in chemo therapy again. Yea! Moving along again.
9CL’s “Superlative Girl” doesn’t do skirts. Nor does “Rose is Rose’s” alter ego, or does she? Peace,
Good for you, Jackie.
