This is the first homemade pie crust

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

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!
