It's Really Friday

 

Yesterday, I wished everyone a happy Friday and even noted that it was the last Friday before the start of another school year. 

Only problem:  it was Thursday.  

I've come to a few conclusions. 

One possibility is that people don't read clear through my blog posts. 

Another:  my readers must be the most polite, kind people on earth, not to correct me. 

Finally and,maybe the most likely, most readers don't really know what day of the week it is. 

I learned that my sister Laurie didn't know what day of the week it was on Wednesday. 

She comes on Wednesday's and Friday's to ride CB. 

So, on Wednesday morning I caught CB, brushed him and administered fly spray.  When Laurie hadn't shown up by 9:30, I even clipped him.  

When she hadn't arrived by 9:47 or so, I sent her a text, asking if she was coming. 

When she hadn't answered the text during the next ten minutes, I texted and suggested that apparently she wasn't coming.  Since it was pretty muggy, I suggested we just wait until the weather cooled off. 

Later, on my way to Center Valley Vets, I stopped off at my sisters' to see why Laurie hadn't come. 

"Laurie doesn't know what day of the week it is," my sister Barbara said.  And, Laurie seemed to agree. 

When I said something about the text I'd sent, Laurie seemed surprised, looked at her phone and read my texts for the first time. 

So, yesterday, I joined my sister day-of-the-week impairment, while writing my blog post and not knowing what day it was. 

If you didn't read to the end yesterday, if you are much too kind to correct me OR if you don't know what day of the week it is, all answers will be accepted. 

Plus, today I'll wish you a happy Friday for the second time this week!

I also want to thank Mother Nature this morning.  She gave "the wind" a day off.  Maybe she's off on her days and thinks it's the weekend and time for the wind to take a break.

I'm very happy that the wind didn't blow last night because this morning I could still enjoy the fruits of my several hours of mowing dirt, leaves, twigs and some grass yesterday. 

The place looks fairly nice this morning because dead leaves distributed everywhere by Mother Nature's weather pattern of choice have not yet fallen. 

I'm sure they will cover the ground eventually, but to finally have a summer morning where the lawn still looks nice after a day of mowing is truly an appreciated gift. 

Thanks again, Mother Nature, and please don't read this blog post, realize that it's Friday and put the wind back on the clock.   A couple of days of nice-looking lawn would be a blessing. 

Even though I didn't know that yesterday was not Friday, I still worried about remembering something happening on Friday.  

Friday is the day our Willie does the local news on Radio Station KRFY.  I totally forgot last week, but this week, knowing that Willie would be hosting Daily Bee sports editor Max Oswald, I've been continually reminding myself----even sent myself an email last night. 

Update:  Oops!  No Max!

And, now while typing this post, I have already tuned in to Radio Station KRFY -- 88.5 FM.  And, you can too, anywhere in the world, by going on line, googling the station and and then streaming.  

Willie and Max will be on at 8 a.m. PDT. Their program will feature the fall sports programs at Sandpoint High School. So, give 'em a listen. 

That's about it for this Friday before the holiday weekend.  

There's a lot more I could say and would love to say, but I'll save that for when I yell at the some of the people I see on the TV. 

So, I'll just leave you with the flowers and pretty scenes. 

Happy Friday.  Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend.
