Monday Meanderings **Updated**

Hooray! NBA playoffs have begun - the only time we watch pro basketball. The drought is over.

The maids came the other day - a new set of maids. Barbara had given specific instructions about the alarm, demonstrated how to turn off the alarm, emphasized that the code was the same as their phone number, and even taped a note with the code by the alarm pad! But when she came home there was a phone message from Maid Central asking her to call about a problem with the alarm.

The problem was the maids could not disarm the alarm. We saw that the house had been cleaned, so Barb asked how they had managed to do that, if they couldn't deactivate the alarm. It seems they just ignored it! At best, it takes them about an hour to clean - so for at least an hour they worked in a house with the alarm screaming! And a special note of thanks to my neighbors, who totally ignored the alarm as well.

I mentioned Iris the other day and Bonna sent a picture of blooms in my sister's garden. No wonder my mother loved them so.


According to Sis my brother has gorgeous Iris as well. Maybe he'll send some pictures too. Hint, hint.

Late-breaking news from my sister: "Don't know why Bonna didn't send you the best picture."


And if you don't normally check Mike Cope's blog you might want to take in these non-singing monks. Heed the warnings.
