I lost my driver's license. No, I didn't commit a felony. No, I don't have a stack of DUIs. I literally lost my license. Lost the whole little card-holder part of my purse, actually. (I think I accidentally tossed it when I was cleaning out the car.) So yesterday, I drove to Polson to get a replacement. As I waited for my turn (they've got a number ticket system now, but people still pay attention to who was there before and who came after; the numbers are pretty much pointless), I studied the message board on the wall above the desk. Among other things, the board announced, "Applications are on the north wall." While the not-as-cranky lady was printing my temporary license, I broached the subject, "Have you seen the show Monk?"
Whew, she had. "Well, at the risk of seeming painfully Monk-ish... I think the applications are actually on the west wall." Cranky Lady said, "You climb up there and change it." Not As Cranky laughed and said, "Yeah, we moved the applications, didn't we?" I wonder if they'll change the chalkboard or just return the applications to their old location...There was a nice, horizontal snow blowing through as we started for home. I had planned to stop at Jackie's, just to say "hi," but I was having second thoughts when I realized my kids weren't dressed for a blizzard, and they'd all be stuck inside. We stopped anyway, and gave Jackie every opportunity to turn us away.
Myra stayed overnight...Stopped at Sheila's... Brought Tina and Veronica home to our house... When Mari and Bri learned that Tina's full name is Martina, they decided to call her Martini. Ha. ... The girls shoveled the deck, then played outside in the snow 'til midnight.
Kendric, apologizing for spilling the cereal: "I was trying to put it up by the Frosted Flakes, but I made the top point to the floor. Sorry."
today: The kids played outside. A lot. (Kirby has my camera in Spokane; otherwise this space would be full of pictures of Logan and Wilson bundled up in their snow gear. So sweet.) The snow isn't deep, but there's enough to sled down each space once. They came in after they'd used up all the snow...
When I drove down to put girls back in the right places, I went to Sheila's first -- via Dan and Jackie's road. Myra and Jeshurun were playing near the end of the driveway. The look on Myra's face as she recognized us then saw us drive by ... *laughs... sighs* ... priceless. When I did return to get Myra, Jackie invited us in for a cup of tea.

I did not lose the map. I destroyed it. Sorry, that is what I thought when I read your thing. I haven't seen Monk, but I relate to talking to total strangers who you think might want to know something. Why do we do it? I don't know, but I like to treat even total strangers like they are people whom maybe one day I will know. And really, who wouldn't want to talk to me

*laughing* "Where were you when I needed you?"
Wow! Snow already.
And I am out daily sunbathing, our weather is getting warmer by the day - so hard to grasp the reality of hemispheres!!
I can totally understand what Kendric meant
I love Taylor Caldwell's books and I think I may have read Captains and Kings. Was the movie good?
Haven't seen Monk - but I do know why you told them that - I would've too! My pedantic nature

I loved the first 5-10 minutes of the movie. The rest of it... not so much.
Grumpy lady just made my evening. With laughter
Just think, if you lived in AZ and could order a new one online you would have missed that whole experience!
I'm so prone to engage with perfect strangers at the drop of a hat. Not all of them wish to interact, but it keeps life interesting.
Thanks for sharing and, yes, I missed pictures! I'll have to find you a backup camera at a yard sale.
