Watering Mom's Yard

Mom went to Buv's and Jennifer's this weekend (my brother and his wife). She asked me if I could please water her yard while she's away? I said sure. So, on Saturday morning I drive over and cannot find her house keys (they're not where she told me she left them).

"Ma," I say to her on the cell phone. I'm standing in front of her door. "where's the keys? They're not under the plant."

"No," she agrees. "I told you I would put them near the plant - they're under the water bottle."

"You said you were gonna set them under the plant." I say to her as I lift the water bottle and snatch the keys up from under it.

"Same difference," she says. I silently groan.

"So," she says. "have you looked in the refrigerator yet?"

"Ma, how could I do that? I just now found the keys?"

"Oh."

I stayed there for about two hours making sure everything got watered. I changed the cat's water, made sure they had enough food to eat, plus I changed the bird's water. I finished a few pages of crossword puzzles that were laying around the house. Then, when I left, I had two bags of food she had for me to take home (that's why she wanted me to look in the fridge). Woo hoo! I don't have to cook for at least two days! Heh.
