MEANINGFUL MONDAY IN MARCH

 This Monday saw another Red Sox game in Baltimore playing the Orioles on Opening Day. Seems the Red Sox haven't found their winning ways losing 8-5. Devers continues to strike out setting MLB records. No game tomorrow. I plan on doing my banking tomorrow before going to Hannaford NB with a listing of food and necessities.  No word from Josh today. Did prepare a bag of trash and "Dirty" laundry. The fix of Gold continues to rise at $3,158.90. Don't forget to change your calendars to April!

SUNDAY OF DEFEATS

This Sunday saw me with High Hopes! First, the Boston Red Sox fell to the Texas Rangers 3-2. R. Devers is making history by the number of strikeouts so far this season. Maybe 13? Then it was onto to Auburn versus Michigan State. Auburn won and is going to the Final Four. Son Ben favors Auburn so I'll follow his lead.  Down in Belmont, NC Grand Daughter Savannah Hope Potvin won a gold medal in State competition in gymnastics. Am sending Savvy a note of recognition and a reward. Despite my Sunday of defeats, I have come out the winner!

VIETNAM VETERANS SATURDAY

I received a call early on from my sister Jan alerting husband Ray cited this Saturday was in recognition of Vietnam Veterans. As my time in Vietnam was in Vung Tau brought memories to the fore. This Saturday saw me obtaining the second license plate frame at NAPA. Cost $15.40 each. Gasoline was purchase at Country Corner along with a copy of The New York Times. My mail was also fetched bringing me up to date Later in the ay Josh brought my clean laundry back and alerted me of the UCONN girl's game. Before that I watched on CSPAN the Tribute of the Late Allen Simpson from Wyoming. I have fond memories of Laramie where I lived for about 5 months. Tomorrow morning, I plan on watching Joel Osteen at 10:00 AM.  Weatherwise my rain collection measures .25 inches. All in all, My Vietnam Veterans Saturday was fine. The Red Sox are trailing the Rangers 4-2 in the 7th Inning. R. Devers has struck out 11 times so far, this early season.

WONDERFUL FRIDAY IN LATE MARCH 2025

 My philosophy is "Good things happen on Friday!" Today good things happened. I started the day by going to NAPA W.B. for a license plate frame. I got the last one and must return tomorrow morning for the other. These will be on Maddie's new Ford. Next came a trip to Hannaford NB. seems my purchases were light at $69.59. This Friday was baseball and basketball With Michigan State winning over Old Miss I now favor Michigan to go all the way! The Red Sox ae now playing the Texas Rangers and trail 4-1. Devers has struck out 6 times in 2 days. Seems something has got to give. Tonight, at the Legion, there was a very large crowd. Carol Slater and Jeff Nickerson visited then Betty Frew and husband joined in our conversation. Mike Frew is a retired history teacher at Quaboag High School in Warren. Son Josh called and came over to pick up my "Dirty" laundry and trash. He was also paid my monthly rent at the Poodle. Tomorrow morning, I must fetch my mail at Box 11, 01585. And yes, Howard's Drive-In WB is open. It's wonderful way to greet Spring.

VERY INTERESTING THURSDAY

 It has been a very interesting day for me! Early on Jeff Nickerson dropped by as I have a project requiring Jeff's insight. We reviewed my options and feel we are both better off, Son Josh agreed to give me a haircut however the appointed hour was advanced 30 minutes, so I made a trip to New Braintree. This was my first time in 2025. I was looking to see if anybody had trapped the maple trees and sure enough one farmer ran a series of blue lines capturing the sap. Returning to Birch Hill Josh proudly showed me Maddie's new Ford. It's a beauty. I made a donation and promised to buy license plate frames which I hope to buy tomorrow at NAPA. Josh also proudly showed his new Sauna. Afterwards my time was spent watching the Red Sox defeat Texas Rangers 5-2. Abreau hit two home runs! Chase Robert called to make sure I was watching the Red Sox game.  Tomorrow, I plan on going to the Legion and yet I don't know my meal? The price of gold today was $3,083.60. Weatherwise it's cold 37 degrees.

PARSONS AUTO EAST BROOKFIELD, MA

 It all started when I was ready to go to Parsons when my battery was dead. My mind was made up to replace the troubled battery. When I was seated in the Waiting Room, I noticed a lady several years my senior reading a book. As we spoke, I learned I this lady to be Miss La Liberty from Spencer, MA. inspired me! From there it was all downhill. The Repairs to my Honda Accord EX-L included a new battery totaled $257.67. After that I did my banking then bought two newspapers and settled in. No NCAA basketball games today. Tomorrow we'll have games to watch. Spoke with Josh about Maddie's new car and registration. "She'll get her plates tomorrow. I intend to make a cash donation to her. Tomorrow, I'll weigh myself with the hopes things will remain steady. Gold was pegged at $3,056.10. Weatherwise it's snowing and yes, I need a haircut!

PERFECT TUESDAY

 Everything about this Tuesday can be summarized in one word: Perfection! My Tuesday proved to just the way I wanted it. The Red Sox won big time. I gathered a bag of trash and began working on "dirty" laundry for Josh. When he came by, he advised a car has been bought for Madie. He showed me a picture of his camera of Madie standing next to the new/used silver car. The day ended with a magnificent sunset at 7:00 PM. Howard's Drive-In has posted a sign announcing their opening maybe in two or three days. In the morning I'll travel to Parson's Auto for a 9:00 AM appointment for my Honda to be serviced. Tonight, it is 37 degrees clear and a wonderful day to end my perfect Tuesday!
