I know - that's quite a title for one post but I have a lot to say tonight.
Alligators - let's do that first. If you haven't heard yet, alligators stick their snouts out of the water at just the right time to keep from freezing in North Carolina. Yes, it's true -
http://bit.ly/2DOpWai - well, I hope that works but anyhow Shallottee River Swamp Park posted a follow up to the original video that shows the alligators sun-bathing in brisk 62-degree temps. All the 12 alligators and baby survived our deep freeze but they are still hibernating (a state called brumation) which can make them irritable - well, the weather made me irritable too!
Now on to the Walmart - I went to the WallyWorld three days in a row - OMG - and I have been a couple times since and it's only the 12th of January . . . Holy Batman . . . is this a sign of my year to come! Yikes!!!!!!!!!! But Walmart released a list of 2017's top-selling items on Walmart.com and mayonnaise was the big seller in North Carolina (it must have been Dukes Mayonnaise). Among the other top items in the state: electric knives.
I don't know what that says about us.
So the New Year - enough about going to Walmart, a funeral (never ever how you want to start the New Year), and MAJOR plumbing expenses --- but with that came fun times with the grandchildren, time with my daughters, quilting with Pat and Sally and help/advice from my good friends Judy and Donald (what in the world would I do without them) - so all in all, even with the bad came much good.
