You know how I love my Kindle, (EH,Jr,) but I would have to admit that it is not worth a darn for swatting flies. We have had two pesky flies that have been driving me nuts for a couple of days, and having neither newspapers, magazines nor any other makeshift swatting material, we have just had to live with them. They seem particuarly fond of the warm computers and my arms. I just realized that I wrote pesky flies. Mother never said the word fly without pesky in front of it. So, today, when I went to the market, I stopped by my sock lady and my former English teacher lady to see if either knew where I could buy a fly swatter. They consulted each other on the matter, wrote down the name of those old fashioned curly, sticky fly catchers you hang from the ceiling and sent me to the Belaruse market. They did have them. I had stopped at several places and acted out fly swatting, but either they don't use them or my acting was not up to the task. I remember that we used to hang those curly things on the back porch at home. Once I got home, deciding where to put it was a quandry. We can't reach the ceiling and we don't want it anyplace too obvious, so we hung it from the door jam of our bedroom. Strangely, we have not caught any flies, but the two that were bothering us are gone. Maybe they reached the end of their lifecycle and new ones have not yet hatched.
We are so excited. Mark and Sandy will be here on Tuesday. It will be wonderful to see tham.. Then we go to Rhodes and then David and Tracy and Rosa will be here and then home on June 26.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Especially Tracy and Stacy who are having birthdays today and Enzo who had his yesterday.
