Airplane Food

(That's apple juice, in case you are wondering!)
Airlines are not much for food these days, so this was our offering on Tuesday. But, I was glad to have it.

Friend or Foe?

Friend: unanticipated check, or a letter out of the blue from a friend or family member, even a surprise package.

Foe: bills, bills, and more bills, tax notices, bad news of any sort.

And, that is why the mailbox is a friend or a foe.

New Shoes

Headed for a vacation; which means lots of walking.

Oh, So Fine

 

Don't you just love this colorful little candle that was given to me by my dear friend, Dorothy.

And, I love this little gift. Perfect.

Happy 54th Garn & Dorothy!

What great friends; what great people; how I treasure them and their friendship.

It's a Blast!

A blast of chocomint gum, that is....not available in any store, I had to buy this online.

Food Storage

This sight makes me laugh. Since they usually don't have a lot of space, newlyweds are often told to be creative about their food storage...under the bed, as end tables, etc. Why I find this so amusing is because we live in a lovely pretty new 4 bedroom home, and we HAVE NO SPACE for food storage. Yep, this is in our walk-in closet. This and other shelves stacked with cans are in our bedroom closet. So, the advice is not just for newlyweds!

Freshly Squeezed Juice

Allen is using the new juicer I got him for Christmas; it's really a great juicer, and he says it's easy to clean up. The oranges are the best oranges I've ever had...Marriner Ashcroft picked them last week in California and gave us a box. They are so sweet and juicy.

But, what the heck is Allen doing? He always cuts up any peelings, etc., and puts it as compost out under some of the trees. He doesn't know if it does any good, but it should, right?
