Didn't you know? This is the lowdown from Aged Parent: any vinegar other than an ancient bottle of white Heinz vinegar must be a health scam from the Internet. We are talking Mrs. Bragg's here. But why argue? Why not just appreciate the sociology involved in the dialogue? It's a new approach to one's daily life. And it is very surprisingly not hard. Truly.
It's been such a long time since I could putter around (terminology from Long-Dead Parent) in the garden—but today I got to: deadhead roses, pull some weeds, sweep up leaves and crud. Felt so good! Dogs also puttered around. I even cut some hydrangea to bring into the house (having cleared permission from Aged Parent), and they do look lovely. The roses desperately needing cleaning up, so maybe we'll have some new blossoms soon to bring in as well. Aged Parent is very appreciative of the flowers now indoors.
AP is also is having more and more fun with the cats. Tom has wormed his way into her heart by being cozy on her lap—not at all surprising; he's pretty shameless. And lovey. But Ducky has her qualities as well: a reticent, elegant charm, nothing so forward as her transparent boy toy. She also is appreciated for her qualities by AP.
