Weekend accomplishments

Saturday I made breakfast, then went to Tractor Supply. Mom hasn't taken Penny to the groomer in months, I don't know if she doesn't want the expense or it's too much of a hassle with her mobility issues, or she just thinks she doesn't need it because her coat is so short. But dogs get stinky if you never wash them, obviously, and it's also bad for

Re: throwing in extra produce: back in the mists of time, my FIL planted his first zucchini. But he'd built planter boxes, and so planted the ENTIRE pack of zucchini seeds. You can see where this is going. The entire yard on that side of the yard was covered zucchini vines. Despite everyone in the family taking squash and eating it, we could not deal with the onslaught of the green menace. But FIL was clever, and he thought of a way to get more people to take it. You see, he had an automotive and equipment repair shop on the property- just a small thing, space for two vehicles. He started giving zucchini to the customers, but many were gardeners and so didn't need any produce. Then he thought of another idea: some people dropped their car off in the morning before work, and would come back after work to get it. Usually it would be left outside the shop, and FIL would be across the property having dinner.
So George took a shopping bag, the old fashioned tall paper ones, and filled it to the top with zucchini. That's a lot of eff'in zucchini. Then he put it on the seat of the repaired car, and went to the house, leaving a surprise for the client. Only one person called FIL about it after they got home; I don't know the details of the call but I could hear from across the room that it started with "GOD DAMMIT GEORGE!!!"
