silver-plated lasagna server....

ok, so.....on my veteran's day off i drove my mother on our yearly rounds....the beaumont plaza goodwill, liquor barn, red lobster, tuesday morning, and camp nelson national cemetery to see my dad's grave before we return home......my mother fussed because we did not retrieve the handicap tag from her car......we have never retrieved the handicap tag from her car....as hell would have to freeze over before i park 2 perfectly able women in a handicap spot.....as it happened the handicapped spots at the red lobster were full...and my mother was forced to walk an extra 20 feet to the door.....which she managed to traverse despite her pleas of disability.....ah well.....i did find a lovely brown linen shirt at the goodwill...and a silverplated lasagna server that looks exactly like one we used at the restaurant....i paid $2.75 for it happily......it was in a box so i am certain that it is NOT from the restaurant.....the sparkling wine i selected at L.barn was much sweeter than i remember from the last time......still mighty tasty for my friend anne's visit.....i especially appreciate her words of wisdom....a mother is only as happy as her saddest child.....i am aging into the no-news-is-good-news portion of my life for this very reason....the less i know the less i can obsess about.....i also found 4 champagne flutes that match those i already own...perfect for my scheduled bookclub gathering in july..... i will surely find a dryer sparkling wine by that date....
