These letters were originally exchanged on Januray 30, 2007.
Dear Daddio.... Why isn't it called TWOs day? It's the second day of the week, makes sense doesn't it?
I looked up "mind your P's and Q's" online since you didn't know either what it meant... here's what I found!
* Advice to a child learning its letters to be careful not to mix up
the handwritten lower-case letters p and q.
* Similar advice to a printer’s apprentice, for whom the backward-facing
metal type letters would be especially confusing.
* Advice to a barman not to confuse the letters p and q on the tally slate, on which the letters stood for the pints and quarts consumed.
* An abbreviation of mind your please’s and thank-you’s.
* Instructions from a French dancing master to be sure to perform the dance
figures pieds and queues accurately.
* An admonishment to seamen not to soil their navy pea-jackets with their
tarred queues, that is, their pigtails.
Isn't that interesting? So you can pick which one you want to believe! Ha ha ha... sorry to make your poor brain work so hard today...
Did you get Sandy's email? It's exciting that she's able to write us from Panama and we get it within minutes. Isn't technology amazing? Monica still sends old fashioned postcards... bless her heart, I love to get them!
Quasar is a nosy bird... or should I say "beaky" bird, ha ha ha... sitting on your shoulder watching everything you do. He loves it. He does that with Sandy I'm sure.
How'd Bob's newly fixed prongs work? Is he able to chomp again? I hope so! Gotta take care of the choppers... otherwise he'll find himself on a "milk only" diet! NO BEEF? Egads.. poor Bob... ha ha ha...
I don't think you'll ever be "retired" from life, Daddio.... the only way you're going to find time for yourself is to schedule it on the calendar and protect that time like a lion protecting his cubs.
Steve has to tell them at Sport Clips to cut it shorter than they want to. Most guys go in every four or five weeks and only need a tiny trim... but not Steve, he needs major pruning with hedge clippers, if you ask me. Those wirey silver wild crazy hairs of his go every which way and heaven help the poor girl who gets him. He is thinner on top now, but still... what hair. After a cut the stray hairs are like needles if you happen to get one on you... ouch, and itchy too! I make him change his clothes when he comes home, and wash his hair that same day. "But they just washed it." Too bad.... it's like a porcupine lost a few quills. You do NOT want to encounter one of the strays, believe me.
Aren't I a horrible wife? Why he loves me like he does boggles my mind. I don't deserve him, I really don't. The more of a devil I become the more he loves me... it's madness. He brings out the worst in me, he does. Men!!!
The water heater is being installed today.... "some time before 1:00"... yikes, have to wait around all day not knowing when they are coming.
It's just as well, I can't find my car keys! I hope Steve has them... I have no idea where they can be. And that expensive keyless entry thingee is big bucks if I lose it... they better turn up. How about a few prayers to St. Francis for your poor scatter-brained daughter?
Hope the birds were good to you.... off to work I go, about four feet to my heaped desk. SO BEHIND I am! Better get to it. Have a good one! Mind your P's and Q's... ha ha ha...
Love, Dottie
