The First Signs Of Fall
The Ring, Part 2
Up until last night, I thought I had tried everything. Dishwashing soap, dental floss, olive oil, two different kinds of hand lotion, ice, and Windex. I was just about to give up. However, my friends McMeaty and McCheesy were not. First came the WD-40 and lots of tugging. Standing over the kitchen sink, McMeaty gave it his all. Unfortunately the WD-40 not only lubed up my finger but his entire hand as well. No go there. Next came the dental floss. But the hand cream I had put on after the WD-40 only made the floss slip right off my finger without moving the ring. At this point, I had been sitting on the couch with my arm elevated for about ten minutes or so. This made the swelling go down quite a bit (thank you Chewy ). McMeaty was confident between the hand lotion and the reduction in swelling that another few pulls and twists would work. I sat on the couch, arm still elevated, while he patiently moved the ring up to my knuckle. Then wth a few more twists, turns, and tugging, the rin

Oh..and what is a "cider-donut?"
It's so weird to look at a picture on someone else's blog and think, "Hey, I was just there!"
And of course closing the pool (so sad) and raking (yuck - HATE raking).
Oh Atkins, I love you. I'm also a Western Mass native, but we've now relocated to Connecticut. Most importantly, we can get BBC here now, so we're no longer taking trips across the straight line solely to buy beer! (We're still up there all the time, of course. "you can take the girl out of Western Mass....."
There are several different squash there, many different "summer squash". It cools down here in the fall (whew), no falling leaves though!
i bought three mums yesterday and the bengals lost. it's fall alright.
i feel like making pumpkin pie!
Hey Sassy - I just love buying goodies from Atkins. What a fun place to shop.
And the Patriots too Blondie. Well, I used to think of them anyway.
Hey Trinity - As much as I love summer, I think I am ready too. Almost.
Hello Ladies! Thank you for the visit. I'm surprised you can get BBC in CT. I could never find it in Boston. Hopefully you are not too far a drive from Atkins now that you are in CT.
Hey Rubye - I'm curious to know how cool it gets in AZ? What happens there in the fall?
Rita you are making me hungy. I think I'll go have a cider donut after I get done here.
I'm not sure Lyn if it is just an east coast thing or not. They seem pretty popular here. Sorry your Bengals lost but more sorry our Pats lost their starting QB for the year :(
What time should I be over McMeaty? Oh man does that sound good.
Hey Ms. Creek - I love the various colors of the Mums. I didn't bring any home with me but it gives me an excuse to go back.
When you are shoveling snow..I have my feet propped up, turning the chicken on the grill, drinking Corona! (no snakes hon)
