Penny Sale

Yesterday, WB walked down in the morning "with a cup of ambition", we sat at the picnic table in the back yard and swatted black flies and ogled at her baby. There was a penny sale happening at the legion, which we decided to attend. After lugging her baby stroller up some very steep stairs we went inside and bought tickets. I am hoping for either the big tomato plant or the pedicure. While we were there, looking over the stuff, from underneath a hat crawled a huge spider. Black, fuzzy and as juicy as a concord grape. One of the old legion ladies tried swatting it away, it crawled frantically towards me, and I went into panic mode, running on the spot and flailing, who knows what was spewing out of my mouth. The spider dropped on the floor and the lady squished it, "oh, it wasn't that big", yes, yes it was. The scrunch smear on the floor was about three inches long by an inch wide there were legs scattered on the floor. "Just look at the smear!" I said. WB thought it was the most hilarious thing. She knows that I am terrified of spiders, when we went up to Departure Lake, her outhouse was ridden with them, I carried a can of Raid every time I had to squeeze my lemon. So, we hauled her chunky baby and stroller back down the stairs and had lunch at the Rubber Boot. We power walked the dogs, later on in the evening. Today I cut the grass at the one rental and at my house trying to avoid hitting all the old people with rocks and debris as they strolled past with their walkers. Some of them just stood and stared so I had to lift my blade and wait for the geriatrics to move. What is so interesting about someone riding a lawn tractor? I stared back at them, it was like an old fashioned standoff. LOL.
