Rainy Days And Saturdays

 We had a steady light rain for most of the day today, and I was not mad about that.  I just put on my trusty red rain coat to go to the grocery, and when I got back home I sat my ass down on the couch and enjoyed watching the Calgary Stampede rodeo and then the Reds game.  I am practicing for my retirement.  I don't think I'll need much more practice to get it down.  

Flashback Friday

 Way back in the day (late 60s), my Grandma's niece played Queene Bee at the Burger Queen stores.  I am happy to still have a plate commemorating it.

Blue Bell Peachy Peach ice cream.  You will thank me later.  You’re welcome.

Wednesday Updates

 I apologize, faithful readers, for not posting the past few days.  Once again, I've been distracted. Nothing bad is happening; I've just been distracted.   But in three and a half weeks, a lot of that distraction will be behind me.  But I digress.

Once again, we are in the middle of another big heatwave.  It got to 99 yesterday, and is supposed to get to 99 again today, with the heat index of about 115.  I took a day off today to take care of a little bidness, and other taking some books back to the library, I'm staying in the nice comfortable a/c.

You Know I Don't Cook Update

 I decided that this morning I would try (key word) to make my Sweet Mother's thin pancakes.  I'm not ashamed to say that they turned out horrid.  But thanks to advice from Diva Stacy and my Favorite Cousin, I know what I did wrong and am going to try again next Sunday morning.

Stay tuned. 

File Under: WTF?

 I made my usual Saturday trip to the grocery store today, and let me tell you it was five times as worse as it is on a winter night before snow is in the forecast.  And it wasn't just me; I talked to two other friends this afternoon who said the same thing about their trips to the grocery store.  

Kids were running around and running into people, with their parents yelling at them while talking on their cell phones.  At least the store shelves were fully stocked. 

I'm just glad that it's over until next Saturday

This Month . . .

Today, I am able to say this month, I am going to retire.  

Only four more Friday mornings to have to answer to the alarm clock.
