Now I know a lot of you folks out there would like to believe that this getting older doesn’t bother you.  But for me, well I am not saying getting older bothers me just certain things get to me once in awhile./  For Example.

AAADD

Thank goodness there’s a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A…A.A.D.D. –
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden .
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills
back
on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,
since I’m going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Coke I’d been drinking.

I’m going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Coke aside
so that I don’t accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye–they need water.

I put the Coke on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I’ve been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I’m going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when I go to watch TV,
I’ll be looking for the remote,
but I won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I’ll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
the car isn’t washed
the bills aren’t paid
there is a warm can of
Coke sitting on the counter
the flowers don’t have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can’t find the remote,
I can’t find my glasses,
and I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
and I’m really tired.

If your lookin’ for a good place to eat while here in Port Loring, here is the place to go. Jakes Place. Jake has been here for as long and one can remember dishing out food that makes any mouth get to watering. My favourite is his BLT’s don’t think they can be beat anywhere. Lots of other good food too though. Also Jakes Staff is to be commended as they look after your every need. So there you go, when them feelings of hunger strikes you, why not give Jakes Place a try. You will be glad you did. The flyer below is a special he has going on now. To enlarge click on picture. Oh…. and don’t forget to ask for one of his special menus, as once looked at, I am sure you will leave with a smile on your face.

So what’s for dinner?  Here today at our home here in Port Loring, I dug out a block of frozen spinach that we picked fresh from our garden earlier this summer.   Took the lid off a jar of home done up tomatoes, no additives and got them simmering on the stove together.  I gotta’ tell ya, if you haven’t tasted fresh tomatoes mixed with spinach, your missing out on a real treat.  The only other thing I like with it is maybe a touch of sea salt and a pinch of fresh ground pepper. I got to say, pepper is my weakness.  I also like my soups and things related boiling hot.  Not sure why, just been that way all my life.   So that’s what is on our plates or should say, in our bowls for dinner, along with a piece or two of home made bread.  What can be better?  Nothing, that’s what.  Again, all our hard work this past summer has paid off, and is now being enjoyed, along with being so………….good for ya.   Have a great day.
