Here’s hoping that Santa find your house tonight and is very, very good to you!

Good Cooking

Gail — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:30:41 +0000

With the bad economy, we hardly ever eat out at restaurants anymore. We just can’t afford it like we used to.

The up side is that I am becoming a pretty good cook. At least I think so. And no one has refused to eat the dinners.

Brothers

What is it about brothers? They love each other yet they are always competing. Or even fighting. They seem to always have something to prove.

I don’t see this same behavior in sisters. Do you think it is the testosterone?

Happy Birthday Sis

It’s my sister’s birthday. I was not even two years old when she was born, so I don’t remember that day. But I try to remember to send her a card and call her to chat on her birthday every year since leaving home.

So, I’ll call you in a few, sis. Hope you have a happy birthday!

Seedless is Best

We bought a big fat watermelon and got it ice cold. Tonight we’ll cut it up and feast on our first watermelon of the summer. I can’t wait!

Did you know that some people sprinkle salt on their watermelon? I can’t imagine that, but it’s true!

Bathing Suits Already?

Arriba!

As a kid I loved the Road Runner cartoons and the Speedy Gonzales cartoons. They were on Channel 5 every Saturday morning, as part of the Captain Tug show. If my parents had been out late the night before, then us kids got to watch cartoons all morning and feast on cold cereal that we poured into bowls and spooned into our mouths while laughing at Wiley E Coyote or sometimes Tom and Jerry. I miss those Saturday morning cartoons.

Mom – This Day is for You

Gail — Sun, 10 May 2009 16:04:03 +0000

Mom,

Hope you have a great Mother’s Day. I know that my sister and her family will feed you and entertain you well today. Sorry I can’t make it up there for Mother’s Day, but I’ll be there later this summer.

Hugs!

Here Comes the Easter Bunny

Gail — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 18:35:23 +0000

The Easter Bunny has always been my hero. He comes at night and leaves lots of goodies for you. Sometimes he is a little mischievous and hides things, likes all those Easter eggs that you dyed and painted!

The Easter Bunny makes Easter fun for the kids and you don’t even have to be on the good boys and good girls list to get the goodies!

Hope you have a nice Easter tomorrow and get lots of goodies to share with your family and friends!

Shop and Drop

I went to the grocery store today and made the big mistake of going on a Wednesday. In my local stores, Wednesday is “Senior Discount Day” and everybody over 60 years old is clogging the aisles to buy their groceries. The place is mobbed with gray haired old women and bald men with beer guts and dentures.

I don’t have anything against old people. I hope to be an old person one day, too. But there should be a limit as to how many old people can be in the store at one time – if there was a fire no one would be able to get out to safety.

OK – you know I’m just kidding here, don’t you? I’m glad the stores are giving the oldsters a discount on food – that means a lot to people tyring to get by on a fixed income.
