LOL with Bill


OK, I'm not with Bill, but he's responsible for making me laugh out loud today.

For quite a while I've been vocally jealous of some small patches he has decorating his hiking packs. Imagine my joy when I received an envelope in the mail today from him with these gifts inside.


Yup, two ticks and a blackfly! These are the honest version of what you get while hiking, right?

Bill's friendship is bringing me joy on another front, too. He loaned me a very cool jigsaw puzzle that I'm working on. More on that when it's done.

Cold and windy outside. Supposed to be even colder, etc. for the next two days. I didn't have to go anywhere, so I didn't. I got one of my columns written and turned in. I wrote 565 words in Vacation from Dead Mule Swamp. I did the last purple row on the prayer shawl.

And now that I'm keeping track (sort of), I've realized how many days I never actually do laugh out loud. Hmm.

See A Little More Swag

  1. LOL those are cool patches. Nice of him to send them. If you're getting the same cold weather we are, stay warm and safe
