Pollyanna Checks Back In

Amazing things do happen, I guess.

1.  I  do believe I am feeling somewhat better. 

2.  I  find myself disagreeing with my blog-idol, Ms. Moon,  who wrote quite a rant recently against being grateful..........sorry, Mary, old thing, but I cannot help it.   I am so grateful.

I am so damned tired tonite that I cannot blog another note.  I made the mistake of gathering up all the fallen limes from my prodigious tree and decided to turn them into marmalade, forgetting what an energy intensive job it is and how endlessly and disgustingly sticky.  I had thought I cleaned up all the various drips and dribbles, but just now I put my forearm onto the desk and had to spend 5 minutes prying it off so I can see I missed at  least one place if not more.   The only possible thing now is a shower and bed.

Sorry to have to short change you, but at least the sun is peeking out.   With luck, there is always tomorrow.

    You amaze me, dear friend! Making marmalade!! It surprised me, made me happy, and made me feel like a lazy bum. I'll just console myself with words (instead of doing something produtive),,,I don't have a lime tree! Much love, and very grateful, xo

    Oh, Lo. I am probably the most grateful woman on the planet. Sometimes it's just not enough to overcome the blues, though.
    YOU MADE MARMALADE?
    I am grateful for you.

    I'd just slice a lime into some gin/martini and head for bed. You are too ambitious for me Lo! :-)

    So glad you are feeling better!

    "Yes," he said to himself. "As long as she's bitching, she's okay."

    I dearly love you, sweet lady. Take care.

    Lo - squeeze the limes and freeze the juice in ice cube trays. Store the cubes in a freezer bad to use as you like whenever you like.

    I have never eaten lime marmalade! I think I am missing out on something and I won't be happy until I find some to try!
