I spent the day washing clothes, grocery shopping, playing with Darby dog (who is spending the weekend with us), and going to Ab's on the pretense of borrowing something but really I wanted to see Cady & Katie. Off & on all day I've watched college football - one of my very favorite things to do.
When Tom arrived home, I was excited b/c we like to watch football together. We were watching the final minutes of Clemson when we realized USC was on the radio. I sat down with my bright red cd player/radio that I bought to play toddler tunes.
I knew the two stations that were broadcasting the USC game, but I could not get a good reception at all. Very fuzzy. Here's our conversation:Tom: You can't get the game?
Joy: Nope. It won't come in clearly.
Tom: Go get my radio; it'll pick up the game.
Joy: What do you mean, your radio? You don't have a radio.
Tom: Ya know, the old one with paint all over it.
Joy: You think you can get USC on that old thing?
Remember the old radio/cassette player we use when we paint and when we listen to our very old Christmas cassette tape? Read back to my Dec. 16, 2008 blog; #7 of Family Christmas Traditions is dedicated to that old radio.
I quickly found the old radio that still has the same old batteries from last century, still not corroded. Within 2 minutes Tom had the game on - clear as a bell.
Tom: Your radio may be pretty, but it's a piece of junk!!!
Gotta love Old Faithful. He takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. And so does the radio - hearty, ha ha.
You gotta see these precious shoes of my grand:
Aren't these adorable? Red & black, Velcro closure and skid-resistant bottoms. Guess who they belong to: I'll give you a hint............................
"Ultra Paws".........they are Darby's! My granddog!Sweet Darby is psychotic during storms and rain. These boots protect floors and carpets from her pawing episodes. What will they come up with next?
