Finally, I get back to the blog... I was ill for weeks, had surgery, and now that I'm back to myself;  I shall continue.  In our part of the country, we have been in the middle of a ice-sleet-snow storm.  It started Thursday, this is Sunday, and we don't have thawing weather forecast for 2-3 days. That brings long days inside.  With that in mind I enter this incident.

     Being snow-bound does something to your mind after 2-3 days. Meandering through the house about 12:00, I said, "Has the mailman run yet?"
      "No, this is Sunday."
      "Oh, yes, I forgot."
      A few hours later, I saw some envelopes on the table,"Did you go to the mailbox?"
      Dan held up two fingers and said, "This is twice---IT IS SUNDAY."
      "Oh, yes, I forgot what you said."
      Later, I walked into the kitchen, he was busy at the counter with his back to me. A little mischievous elf walked through my mind..." Did you ever check the mailbox?"
He sighed, slowly turned to face me -- I wiggled my eyebrows and flashed my "Gotcha!" smile. He slowly turned back to his bowl, "Yes, but we didn't get anything." — feeling happy.
