Laying down on the job

I thought I'd toss in a foto of me laying down on the job.

No, I haven't ripped, torn, or broken anything ... lately.

Altho I was badly beaten by the derision of my Turkey Day blog. Baby sisters saying that older brothers are full of "Bull." Now is that respectful of aged siblings ... or whut? Besides, don't creative license count for nothin ? :)

And here are a couple of fotos of a young married couple.

The bloom of youth. Hopes springs eternal. etc.

Just kids ...

The one on the right looks like you could just stick them on top of a wedding cake.

Yikes! Brrrrrrrrrrr ...

Instead of "Black Friday" ...
It looks like today is "Blue" Friday.
Brrrrrrr.

Here are a few representative temperatures around the country ...

A bit on the cold side of things. However, I checked and our tomato plants haven't wilted from being frozen. Even have 2 green tomatoes on the vines and some blossoms. Recovering nicely from the excess food yesterday. Wife is stripping the turkey carcass and going to make great gravy & leftovers.

Turkey Morning

Early this morning my wife sent me out the door into the cold bitter blowing snow ... to climb the icy hill to the store ... all because she wanted 2 cans of green beans (had to have them, she said). With frost-bitten nose, fingers, and toes ... I have wrapped myself around the bunk heater ... in hopes that I will thaw out before it really becomes winter ... or until she sends me out again to get something else that she forgot and desperately needs for Thanksgiving.

I forgot to mention that she sent me out with a shovel and a pick to break thru the frozen ground and dig up potatoes for this annual feast. So far we are only committed to attend and eat

two BIG meals today ... :)

Poof! An ID card

I'm a pretend therapist ... stuck my foto on this ID card.

What do you think? Is it possible ... or likely?

Hah! :)

Assembly of God Church parking lot

Today at the Assembly of God Church ... just around the corner, They are holding a car show. Cars are still showing up but I have to go other places. So here's a few fotos.

This is a slightly modified Honda Civic hatchback.

The Datsun Z-280 is a dirt racer and has Nitrous-Oxide injected.

A nice Corvette with a shot of it's engine.

And you could hear this Firebird rumble as it rolled up the street.

There's also an IROC Camaro and a midget race car.
more on the way.

Little Mercedes Benz

We had to go up to the V.A. Hospital for an appointment ...

So we decided to go over to the Mercedes Benz dealership and dream ... when you can't afford anything there ... about all you CAN do is dream. Anyway, there was this cute little car there (made by Mercedes) and I just had to take a foto of it for you. :-)

First Pie Crust in 45 Years!

This is the first homemade pie crust

that my wife has made in 45 years.

She made it at Relief Society this evening.

She is so Jazzed about it!

I think she did good.

:)

Handwriting Fun!

After analyzing daughter's handwriting yesterday evening ...
She decided to have fun with a few of her friends and associates.

This is a really great party trick ...
They met at Applebee's this evening after class for snacks.
Daughter then had me come, have them do handwriting samples,
and after they were all done ... I gave a brief analysis of their handwriting and what it told about them. They got a little freaky when I mentioned an old injury on the lower right side that was showing up in one guy's handwriting. And then he explained it to them.
FUN!

In Memory

For years, the "Peanut Man" sold boiled peanuts on this corner of what had been a gas station. A bank bought the lot and cleared it. But the city required in the building permit that they make provision for the "Peanut Man" to continue selling his boiled peanuts. Unfortunately he passed away before construction started on the site.

So in memory they erected this "peanut" image of him.

The can quotes him,

"Have a good day and let he Lord ride with you."

Some people doing small things ...

leave behind large images.

Honoring Veterans & Active Military

http://www.applebees.com/

They are serving free entree's to all active duty military and veterans showing proof of service. We showed our VA ID cards. Wife had Oriental Chicken Salad (southern style = fried chicken & coleslaw in the salad). I had the Fiesta-Lime Chicken with rice and tortilla strips. It was delicious. Then we paid for 2 small dessert shooters and tipped the waitress. Fantastic meal, great price, really good food. We'll be back again!

Thx 2 JaNae

JaNae and her family kindly invited us out to dinner on Friday evening (we were just sitting around the house cooking up a thin-crust pizza ... which we abandoned as soon as we took it out of the oven). We all went to Ryan's Restaurant --> BUFFET!! I chose to eat white fish, popcorn shrimp, fried okra, onion rings, crab salad, and broccoli salad. With water and lemon juice to drink. WONDERFUL!! (and way too much to eat -- of course) Oh. Oh. I forgot the chocolate vanilla twist ice cream for desert. Our thanks to her and her family for their kindness. It was a lovely evening.

Today we were fasting ... and by afternoon I had this headache. So we lay down for a nap this afternoon. I got up with STILL HAVING A HEADACHE. I took my blood pressure --> 101/72 pulse of 72. That sounds like WAY too low. How did my body do that? Fat people don't usually have that kind of low blood pressure ... do they??? I decided to self-medicate by eating some corn chips. Hah!
