After the Party


It’s been a busy week at school (for Doc) and dealing with the aftermath of the JOY hurricane which blew through the Penny Palace last week.

This evening I poured a glass of wine (from one of the many bottles which appeared here) and Doc and I proceeded to open the gifts.  There were some gifts to be enjoyed now (chocolate macadamian nuts, flowers, plants, jelly, etc.).  There were some gifts to be appreciated at a later date (Gift Certificates for restaurants, Target, BB&B).   Several of the gifts were customized and hold special meaning.  There were towels embroidered with “The Penny Palace”, a check to ‘sponsor’ the front door Windows from Heaven and a framed Original Artwork by Ampersand Chaz with a quote from Abraham Lincoln.

People have said, “You are moved in and the Celebrations are over; now slow down. Relax!”  This evening I tried sitting on the sofa and watching a movie.  You talk about stressful?   Sitting in one spot looking at a talking picture frame; THAT is stressful.  Where is the value in that?

***************
As much as I tried to refrain from searching, there were two pennies in my path at breakfast this morning and one at the post office.  Doc came home from school three nights this week with coin finds.
