Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #101

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

at Two Spoiled Cats

Here is today's inspiration

I can roller skate

forwards, backwards, in a line,

in a circle or holding hands.

If I concentrate,

I can do a figure eight.

Once I tried ice skating.

It required balance and nerves of steel

I quickly learned I was not made

to skate on a 

BLADE

I will be MIA for a while today.  My Photo Journalist, Janice and I

are meeting to celebrate our Birthdays.  Her is January 15.

Yep the celebrations continue

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Tuesday: Niagara Falls Faucet

 

Thank you to our 

 Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus

The little thingamagiggy that controls the water flow  on  the kitchen faucet had a blow out...   

picture #2 

is the mini Niagara Falls.  If I happened to have my hands or a dish under it, I was immediately drenched along with the counters and the windows over the sink. Once or twice the force of the water actually knocked things out of my hands. I put tape on the faucet handle to remind me.  

picture #3, 

Prior to blow out the faucet always came on softly

 The faucet is a Grohe.  It was originally installed in 2006 and has a lifetime warranty HAPPY HAPPY dance. 

Picture #4

The replacement faucet came last week.  The  Grohe rep told me we could 'probably' install it ourselves.  However, upon examination of the old one and the new one, we decided we   'probably' needed a special tool.  The old one was really tight.  What if we 'probably' could not get the new one on?! We'd have a big mess.  We decided it would be 'probably'  best to call a plumber. Happy to say on Wednesday January 4 we had it professionally installed.  Some things are worth paying for, after all the faucet was free.

Awww Monday and Sparks

Dearest Auntie HiC

Mom is finally feeling well again!

She & Dad had Covid during  the holidays, but I’m happy to report they have both tested NEGATIVE!

I convinced her we BOTH needed some fresh air & sunshine. It was definitely good for both of us.

Video volume up Mom picked perfect music

DEAREST PUP, 

AUNTIE HiC Is SHOUTING WITH GLEE AND JUBILATION.  Thank you for this most wonderful health update and most handsome photos.  Tell mom and dad being negative is  Positive .    Bol BOL!

Thank you all for your birthday wishes.  I had a very nice day

lunch at Seaboard Cafe.  First one of the year.

I was tickled to see chicken noodle soup and pumpkin muffins on the menu.

Rick the owner gave me a chocolate chip cookie for my birthday and free beverages.
