I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's
T Stands For challenge found
here.
This is my summation of
the past week:
Recently Teddy volunteered
to start getting the mail out of the mailbox for me. I didn't suspect
he had an ulterior motive. Then Teddy told me we had received a
voucher for a free meal up to $50. I told Teddy that sounded too good
to be true. He handed me the postcard that came in the mail,
addressed to me, but which he had opened (in violation of Federal
laws ;-). At face value, it appeared Teddy was correct. Then I
noticed the fine print: $50 off a meal that cost at least $100. Teddy
was disappointed when I broke the news to him, and said he considered
this mailing to be somewhat deceptive. I couldn't disagree with him
on that point. But Teddy learned an important lesson: all that
glitters is not gold.
Teddy said despite his
lesson learned, he liked his photos with the voucher, and didn't want
to pose with a drink, so he said I needed to create an artwork piece
as our ticket into the T-Day gathering again. So I went in search of
tea, found a teapot, and created this.
Tuesday and Tuesday night
(Feb 12) we had another snow storm: snow, sleet, then freezing rain. Teddy
helped me shovel the driveway Wednesday morning (Feb 13). The snow was water
logged so it was like shoveling cement. Our feet got wet again
because our boots are no longer water proof, and the stores already
sold out their winter inventory, so we couldn't find a new pair for
this season.
Thursday was Valentine's
Day and I posted some artwork that I made for it.
I made more story people collage artwork. And this week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was
"masquerade" so I created this for it.
On Saturday, we watched
Unearthly Stranger (1963), which another blogger
had mentioned (I don't remember who). If you like science fiction
movies, I recommend seeing it. We finished up our weekend by watching
D.O.A. (1949) on Sunday. If
you like classic old movies, I recommend seeing it.
Feb 19 follow up note:
After seeing Elizabeth's comment, I took another look at the photo of
the voucher, and spotted the glass of wine. I asked Teddy if he knew
that was on there, and he just turned away, without answering. So I
suspect she may be right, about Teddy trying to make more work for
me. :-)
