Crazy stuff happens to me regularly and it's often a source of laughter. Chris's dog ,Skipper, is a barker, early, late, reason or none, he just barks! So Fredrick asked that I shut his doggie door when we go to bed at night. The other night, Skipper wakes me up about 12;30am to go out. I get up, let him out & back in, get his "good dog teat" & I'm back in bed and trying to go to sleep again. 10 minutes later: same song- second verse. Then after that round (no treat this time) but in & out. Back to bed for me and 20 minutes later, barking dog! Suddenly, I'm ballistic! Crazy dog, crazy me! I run into the living room and grab a magazine to smack the dog! Get back, miss the dog, get back to my bed, drop the magazine, It flips open and the title is "CALM". I've told y'all how much I love Estate Sales. The hunt for a great little treasure that no one else has noticed. At the last sale I attended I found one: a really sweet little CooCoo Clock from Germany. I don't know how old it is, but probably manufactured 40 or 50 years ago. It is a blond clock which are not made any more. I made an appointment with a clock repair guy to see if the little clock could work again. The Clock Maker is so knowledgeable and explained all the things he could tell by the damage the little clock had suffered; fell off the wall, has had parts glued that shouldn't have been, it's bellows are dried out, and on and on. And I just kept nodding "yes" as he explained how the works will come from a small factory in Germany, and may be sitting in a shipping container in a port for months before it gets to my clock. He starts adding up the repair costs and I'm still agreeing. So the clock that cost @20.00 at the Estate Sale, will wind up being many times that to get it running!! I have to realize that my impulsive behaviors and short fuse will always be a source of amusement for the Powers That Be! Maybe that is my calling in life to keep a stream of laughter flowing through my world. --donna
