So if anyone needed any proof that my mind/memory is not what it once was, then here is the proof!
The inspiration for my original blog about names was a name that I ran across and then I totally forgot to even mention it in my post. SMH
We had quite a long online chat going with our internet provider last week, trying to install a new box that they sent out for us. Supposedly very simple to install. Yeah, well maybe for a teenager, not so simple for the old ladies it turned out. Our chat helper was named “Damanjeet” Which I had to google of course, a masculine name from the Punjabi area (India). His grasp of written English was quite good and we were eventually able to get the TV back up and running, bless his heart.
But the name gave me a chuckle….can you see his mom yelling out to the yard ?? DAM DAM DAM where are you? well, I can’t help it..thats how my mind works!
Cousin Kathleen reminded me of another name in our family tree that I missed. Eufersine, yeah that’s another winner in the odd name category! Some others I had forgotten about too, like Marvelton (Another super hero!) and Cashmer and one of my personal favorites, Teckla, she was one of my grandma’s cousins and I remember her talking about her. I always that it was an unusual name.
So on another subject, our neighbors across the street aren’t doing so well with their social distancing. Last nite they had a big blow up slide thingy set up and a whole bunch of kids over for a party. Not the first time they have had company over during the “stay at home” either. Hope they keep it over there if they all get sick. Gosh.
This morning we had our front landscaping refreshed with the areas all scraped out and new barricade cloth put down and lots of big ole rocks on top. They sure did a nice job and the 4 of them knocked it out in a couple hours. It would have taken us days so very glad we hired that project out. They originally were supposed to be here a couple weeks ago but they got put on non essential status and had to cancel , but now are back to work.
The only glitch was that they started at 8 a.m.—way too early for all the commotion they caused with our doggies. But we are happy it’s another thing off the do to list!
Till next time!
