Best moments of this weekend: Thats a toughy ... I will do a Top Three list how about, in no particular order. 1. A Double Feature of Notebook (A smart love story) & The Terminal (funny & charming) 2. Ending up at the farmers market on Saturday morning, (bing cherries,fresh lemonade, a smothered hotdog,and bought a bunch of beautiful papers and some new watercolor pencils), I stopped by the graveyard by the Lakes and sat by the Gravestone marked "HOPE" and wrote my journal on life giving stuff, then headed over for a little time with the lovely miss towle 3. Had a couple of great meals with old friends I havent seen for a while.

Stupid Phone Marketers! So I decided to blog today after I got a phone call for David, my father who has been dead for two years. I have temporarily moved in with my mother for two months while I find a place to live. She is in Alaska for a month and in the week she has been gone I have received numerous calls for "Jean or Dave". Marketers are normally annoying, but I wonder how my mom deals with this constant insensitive reminder of her beloved husbands death. Today I received a call that went something like this:

"Hello"
"Hello, is David there?" (phone bank noises behind him)
"No he's not" (in an annoyed voice, relatively speaking I guess, really there is reminders of him all over this house)
"Is there a good time to reach him?"
"No"
"Is this Jean?"
"No this is her daughter, can I help you?"
"Do you make decisions for them regarding siding for the house?"
"No I have no decision making power whatsoever?"
"Will your dad be back later?"
"No he doesnt live here anymore." (tongue in cheek)
"Does your mom live there?"
"Yes. But we have no siding and we will not be installing any ever again. My father is dead and your marketing attempts are not welcome here. Please do not call again."

Sheez, I cant believe how annoyed I am getting by such calls. Do you think he is writing on HIS blog about the crazy wench he called that day? ;-) Any suggestions for future calls?
