Random thoughts from Martinville

1. It does snow in April in some parts of the world. I didn't see snow this winter until this happened and we just happened to be in Eagar. We lucked out.


2. The Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple starts at 8 not 7. What ever you do, don't show up extra early, get all cozy, and be all ready for the show at 7. Nope, one more hour of restless leg syndrome and watching all the strangers around you eat yummy food.

3. Cats do not like to be rescued from the roof. Even if they have been stranded up there for 2 days with no food or water (how did it get up there anyway?) they will run away when you try to help. Also, odds are that your wife will forbid you from going up on the roof to catch the dumb thing.

We don't know what happened to the cat. It either got down some how or is cooking on the roof everyday...gross.

4. Sams Club. Even better: Sams Club on a Friday night or Saturday. Samples at every corner can be a full on dinner if you hit it right. My strategy: slip in there, grab the sample, move on. The less time spent there the better. If they don't remember you (or see you) it may be possible to go back for seconds (don't judge you know you want to do it too). Bryan's strategy: wait in the "line", take a sample, thank the cute old lady, and eat it standing right there by the table. I am surprised that these differing strategies have not caused major marital problems. Maybe we should work out a system where I leave and he catches up with me in the next isle.

5. If you ever lose head phones, check the washer. I know, I know, one should check the pockets before putting clothes in the washer. I am just happy things get in the washer. Bryan left his headphones in his pocket and they ended up in most logical place, the washer. Good news, they work. Bryan says, "Well now I know what to do with them when they are dirty."

At least they are dark to go with the load... my mom will be so proud.
