SURPRISE!!  New Television

Here's a picture of Teri, Cindy and me with my mom at my folk's place at the coast. You'll notice that my girls and I are wearing sun glasses which is due to the fact that we all watch a lot of TV, and when we are out of the house, we have to protect our eyes from the shock of the sun. In one of my previous blogs, I mentioned Mama's TV class which the girl's attended. This all leads into what this blog is about.

Last week Teri's husband, Mark, called me from New York and said they were having something delivered to me the next day! I jokingly said, "What is it? A 100 inch TV?" They both laughed hysterically and hung up. So the next day here came a flat screen TV, but only 40 inches, thank God! They know how much I watch TV and how I would love it. I was thrilled! A couple of days later, a guy came and set it up for me. It's on top of my entertainment center where my old one was nestled in for many years. I called a mission here that picks up old used things and has done it many times for me in the past. I thought they would be thrilled to get a TV that may be old but was still working fine. They asked if it was older than 5 years and if it was a flat screen TV. I said yes on the first and no on the second. They laughed and said they just pick up flat screens. I thought, "Picky, picky" but didn't say it as I didn't want to piss them off as I send them a lot of stuff. I wonder what they've done with the bras that I've sent? I suppose if I asked they would tell me they just take double D size which lets me out. So I won't ask them about anything ever again!

I love the TV. It is so big and beautiful. I don't actually watch all the time - I'm not watching now as I don't have it in my computer room, and I couldn't manage that while I'm writing this. I don't multi-task very well. One task is my limit. Teri has done so much for me and I can never thank her enough. I think this is about it for this birthday although Mark did say a construction crew would be here soon to remodel my kitchen. I assumed he was kidding . . . although one should never assume anything.
