Hot tub city

[susandennis]

The Home Show turned out to be The Hot Tub Show and let me tell you, gaudy has been redefined. I'll bet you a good 30% or more of the exhibitors at the home show were hot tub dealers. I saw my first pearlized silver hot tub complete with embedded strobe lights and a sound system. I don't need to see more. Really.

The show would have been a loser except for the good company. We had fun just walking around gawking at all the stuff - which we did for a nice, long time. Why is walking around slowly looking at stuff so tiring?! I'm beat.

I got a letter today from the Washington State Department of Licensing saying that my drivers license is up for renewal at my next birthday but if I wanted to extend for a year by mail all I have to do is fill out this form, write a check for $5 and pop it into the postage paid envelope. Heck, yeah. Wild.

I remember that the state of Oklahoma renewed my Grandfather's drivers license by mail for years - the same years the state of Oklahoma also declared him legally blind. I always felt so important when I got to go in the car with Grandpa. My job was to tell him if the traffic light was red or green since he couldn't see it. It always amazes me how I managed to live this long.

Oh, look what is out my window right this minute!
