Sunday's Walk

This morning was cool enough for Chica and me to walk to Family Dollar for some essentials. Home to Fam$ to home is about 2 miles. After shopping, we sat in the shade and snacked. Altogether, the excursion took less than 2 hours.

Where is She-Ra?

Thirty-five years ago today, my prayers were manifest. I spent the day believing I was going to die in gut-splitting agony. But no... the agony continues.

Next year on this day, my daughter will be 36; I’ll be 63. If we’re still using the Gregorian calendar in 2017, our birthdays will hit on Monday and Friday again — as it was in 2006 (25/52), and 1995 (14/41), and will be in 2028 (47/74), if we both live to see it.

So you see... I think about her birthday, but I can’t celebrate it. She’s going to have to contact me first. She can start with this note, and what has been done and said to her to keep her from talking to me about it before. In the meantime, stop trying to hurt me, Jolie.

La Fogata Mezcal

QUESTION: Has the bottle and label changed, or did I buy a counterfeit?
ANSWER:

1 August 2016

Hello Renice,

Thank you for your email, we looked at your picture of La Fogata Mezcal and that is correct, this is a new package design for the brand.

It is not a counterfeit so not to worry!

If you need anything else please let me know.

Thank you,
