Good morning to all. I slept in until six a.m. but I didn't get to sleep until after one o'clock. I watched a couple of the night entertainers and all I can tell you is that they should retire, my how old they have gotten since I last looked in on them, as the audience clapped loudly although I didn't hear anything funny. My what a negative way to start off my blog this morning. Maybe it is the new puzzle I picked up at a thrift store yesterday and I am already wondering if there are pieces missing. It is not one of those puzzles that stays together as you work it but continually finds its way to come apart at the slightest move. I have to remember it is a patience thing and it is one piece at a time. The frame was put together and taken apart at least a dozen times. It took Pat to finally get it together as friend La Verne made a special trip back to her house for her glasses once she found there was a puzzle on the table. She found I had not put the frame together right so she took it apart and she did it. Pat came along and undid it and put it back together although there is still one piece lacking and I'm betting it is out of place as I've hunted and hunted and find no more flat edges. All 1.000 pieces are turned over and soon the colors will be separated as the search goes on for that one illusive piece just sitting there looking back at me. It is hump day already, a good day to catch up on some inside chores today like changing the bed, dusting the blinds, vacuuming, all of which are waiting for my experienced hand . . . but . . . my mind wanders to that missing piece of the puzzle and the need to go and find it, then I might stop and get busy around the house . . . or go in search of a new piece or two while I sip my hot coffee and think of something for my breakfast. There is nothing good in this house . . . except all the usual breakfast stuff; but . . . no goodies like a big fat buttermilk donut which I haven't had in a very long time. Can I help it if Halloween reminds me of donuts? Nope!!! I used to make donuts every Halloween for years and years, before it was improper to feed children in the neighborhood with home made goodies. My the world has changed and me with it as I look more and more like my little round tub Irish grandmother. Short and round is good!

So today, it is hump day for you too, so think about what you want to accomplish before your week runs out and you have to put up with a whole weekend off. What a shame! Just make your today a good one and if you are planning to stop in know that you have to have your tea break at the kitchen counter as the dining room table is taken for at least another month or so. Hugs to all.

P.S. Freddy's has wonderful buttermilk donuts . . . hint, hint . . .!!
