This and That

.                                          Sad basil but perky oregano

Oh happy day. We finally have a kitchen garden…..of sorts.  Our boat garden consists of basil, oregano, chives and thyme surrounded by marigolds.   The basil is pretty sad right now but it is a beginning and we are thrilled.


                                           Thyme, chives and marigolds



Mr. Yogi dog has discovered he has his own drive through window.  During nice weather, he likes to be outside patrolling his deck and should he get a little peckish during his walk he can stop by the convenient kitchen window and pick up a little treat from one of his personal chefs.

Tonight, I heard Dwight ask me if I wanted an oslit.  I didn’t think so.  I asked him again (and again) “what did you say?”  He repeated his question more than once, finally getting so peeved with me that he said “never mind.”  Well, how could I never mind?  What the hell is an oslit?  Which is more irritating, did I want something I didn’t know or did I want to forget about something I didn’t know whether I wanted or not?

Dwight’s better nature prevailed and he asked me one more time, a little impatiently though, “Do you want the heater fan to oscillate?”  Oh.

Old age being what it is, we spend our days asking each other “what?” then repeating our  sentences.  Is there an echo here?

Yes, as a matter of fact there is.  We have decided to rename this boat Echo.  Because it is an echo of what we did in France and, unfortunately, because of the above.  Mostly, though, because we are canal repeaters.
