Avon Starter Kit, Mom's Birthday & Watermelons

I was beginning to wonder when my Avon starter kit was going to arrive and this morning while in the front yard I saw it there by the door. It may have been there a day or two as I never use my front door, always the side door.
Somewhere I have boxes of picture frames, mostly with pictures of people I don't know. Hey, I was given the box and figured somewhere, sometime I could use the frames. Anyway I'll frame a sign saying "All Deliveries To Side Door Please"  so I don't have any future ones sitting out in the weather.

I'm still reading a bit of my real estate book daily and that enterprise will be an entity unto itself. My Avon and other sales I'm looking at will be under the "umbrella" company of Merlin's Garden.

Tomorrow will be my Mom's 78th birthday and the 10th of September will be my 57th. Tuesday (the 6th) is one of my nights off this week so I'm taking her out for lunch. There's a place not a mile down the road that has excellent catfish so that's where we're going. The all you can eat is only a dollar or so more than the 3 piece dinner and I can eat way more than 3 pieces so that's my road! I'll show Mom all my Avon crap and then get a receipt for tax purposes. Any and everything I can use as a tax write off this year and coming years I will.
A few (quite a few, actually) I was at the Belzoni Catfish Festival with my then significant other and her 2 daughters. A plate of  2 or 3 fillets and a handful of fries cost like $5 but entering the catfish eating contest was free. I entered the contest and took home the 2nd place trophy. First place trophy and $100 cash prize went to a mountain of a man who weighed no less than 400 pounds. I later learned that was his "job". He was a professional competitive eater!

I harvested a watermelon today for my sugar gliders, Ruth & Naomi. The melon patch is in a back corner of my yard not often visited. With the little rain we've had the vines got a bit wilted so I'm fetching in all the fruits I can. I'll take the biggest to Mom tomorrow but the wee possums got one today only about the size of a tennis ball but still, ripe, juicy and sweet.
