Today has been a mixed bag. The making of the peanut brittle went well. I only made half today. Next week has a couple cold days in the forecast so I'll make the rest then. Mum and I went for groceries before going out for breakfast. Again things went well except at brekkie Mum told me she had a scare last night. Seems the neighbors had let their lab out without supervision when mum took Thristle out. Suddenly a large black dog appear and startled her. Then she thought oh it's "Pippin" and reached for her collar to get her under control but the dog wasn't wearing a collar. That caused mum to think it wasn't a dog she knew which scared her so she bundled Thistle into the house. After she came in she called the neighbors to check. Yep it was their dog. Problem is the scare caused mum's heart to act up so she suffered with mild back and arm pain most of the last 20 hours. 

This morning while I was making peanut brittle Pippin was on Mum' patio again unattended. I had two batches of brittle cooling on the picnic table. Mum called the neighbor to ask them to keep her leashed so she wouldn't be tempted to sample my brittle. The community has rules against letting dogs run off leash but ...

So this afternoon I took Thistle for a long walk as we were returning we met the neighbor walking Pippin. He barely had control of her and she rushed over Thistle and I. She got under my feet and threw me off balance. I feel, landing on the right side of my face. I have an inch long gash along the outside edge of my eyebrow. A half inch long split on my cheekbone with some abrasion just below the cheekbone. Oh, and I broke my new glasses. Needless to say I wasn't best pleased. I didn't swear but when asked if I was okay I said "No, I'm bleeding" and as I left "and I broke my damn glasses". Fortunately I had a dark red handkerchief in my pocket to press against the wound to keep from getting blood everywhere as it was running down and dripping off my face. In Mum's expert opinion I don't need stitches but may have a scar. When he got back the neighbors came over to apologize and said they would pay to replace my glasses. I called my optometrist in PA. Fortunately since I only got them Sept 10th they are under warranty so the cost is minimal. A fee to have the lab do new lenses and a shipping charge to send them from PA. Unfortunately, the company sold out of the blue tortoise frames I bought and are not making more so unless they can salvage my current damaged frames I'll end up having to settle on a brown tortise frame. I really, really like the blue ones even better than the previous blue tortoise frames I wore. One more fortunate thing is I have enough contacts with me to get by until the glasses are sorted because I can't drive without some sort of correction.

I have the makings a of lovely black eye. I'm considering telling folks that my mum beats me.

You poor baby! You want me to kiss it and make it better? lol I hate that that happened to you! If I was you, I would have the neighbor pay full price for the glasses since the dog knocked you down and broke them. That is what they get for not controlling their dog around other people!

Yea, but can we really believe you?

After all, you're threatening to tell the world that your mammy beats you.  

Seriously though, bro, I hope neither you, nor mum, are permanently scarred by the Pippin experiences.

Maybe you need to remind your neighbour about the community rules against letting dogs run off leash...

  I'm glad you and mum are ok   I can't stand it when people don't have control of their dogs.    At least they're taking responsibility for their actions and paying for your glasses.  I hope now they'll keep Pippin under better control.

Aww... poor dugh.   Sorry that happened to you, bro. I hate falling... sounds like that dog needs to be taught some manners.   At least your peanut brittle escaped the day unscathed.

I had steamed, home grown vegetable, with sardines.

A quick enough dinner to prepare, due to having being stuck in Zoom meetings.

I have lived in my hometown since I was 2 weeks old, even though my parents lived here 2 years before I was born. I was not born in Texas like I was suppose to be, cause my mom's sister was dying of cancer when my mom was 7 months pregnant with me. She got to Louisiana to see her and went into labor the next day. I was 4 lbs 10 ozs and had to stay in a incubator for 2 weeks. Then my Dad came back to get us when I got out of the hospital. Oh by the way, my nickname from my mom she gave me was Horse's ass. She said since I was half Texan (that is where the horse came from lol) and the half Louisianans that north Louisianans were called coon asses (the ass came from that lol) So that is how she called me Horse's Ass! So don't think I will move away from here any time soon since I have been here for 66 years!

I love this song even though my name is spelt Sherye and not Sherry. But if people seen my first name and middle name then @Marty, the song you put on here might be the right pronunciation! lol

I thought I would share a song that my mom loved. She passed away in 1984 at the age of 55.

Perhaps not all fairies have herpes but apparently a lot of them do. Seriously, the stuff is sparkly, spreads with physical contact and itches likes crazy
