My grandmother used to have some favorite sayings about things and I never hear those phrases any more. I wonder why people stop using the cute catch phrases? She used to say, “That’s for the birds.” She also used to ask if “Anyone need to tinkle?” before we left the house to run errands or visit friends. I miss some of her little sayings.
TV for Sale – Cheap
My girlfriend has a big screen TV that she needs to sell. It is an old one – it needs the digital converter. But it is a big, huge screen on a black cabinet. The picture is still really good. She needs the money, so if you want it, let me know and I will put you in touch with her.
Ham or Lamb?
All the Easter dinners I’ve ever had all my life have been centered around a ham. It’s just been our family tradition to get a half a ham and serve it on Easter Sunday for dinner. Then we have ham leftover for sandwiches the following week and a big ham bone to make bean soup by the weekend.
For some reason several of my friends are planning on having lamb for their Easter dinner. I don’t know why they prefer lamb but I find it interesting that family traditions can be so different.
Well, I have already bought my ham for dinner tomorrow. I am looking forward to keeping my family tradition going.
I hope everyone has a nice Easter.
Dogwoods are so Pretty!
When I was a little girl, my parents had a huge white Dogwood tree in our yard. My mother especially loved that tree. She wanted to buy more Dogwoods and plant them around the house, but my dad said that buying trees was ridiculous and a waste of good money. He said that if God wanted us to have more Dogwood trees in our yard, then He would have some of the seeds from our tree take root and grow on their own without needing any help from us.
I never did agree with my dad about many things, especially the way he would use God as an excuse to not have or do things. But I do love Dogwoods, like my mother did. And I don’t mind spending $30 of my own money to plant one in my yard.
Ho Ho Ho
Hope that Santa Claus found your house last night and was very good to you.
I had a really nice Christmas already, and we have not eaten dinner yet! We are about to sit down to a huge feast, with Honey Baked Ham, sweet potatoes, my mom’s pineapple spoon bread, and coconut cake. Nothing like eating traditional holiday dinners cooked by the people you love!
Thanksgiving Feast
This year I’m not cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I’m going to spend the whole long weekend with my mom and dad. I will head over to mom’s house around 3:00 and help her with the last minute things in the kitchen, then we will all sit together at 6:00 sharp for dinner.
I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving and get to enjoy food that tastes as great as what I will be having!
Can’t Talk With Teenagers
Happy Birthday, America!
I love the Fourth of July. We always get to gather around family and friends, eat good food and celebrate the night with fireworks. I only remember one Fourth of July that is rained. I believe they just shot off all the fireworks the next night. So we got an extra day to celebrate our country’s birthday!
Happy Memorial Day
Today we thank our soldiers for serving their country. It is a somber holiday for people who have lost a loved one to war or accidental death while in the service. We lost our father many years ago to Cancer, but he served our country in the war and I think of him fondly on every Memorial Day.
Something different about a regular guest
There is this one couple that has been coming here for the past 4 years. I see them several times a year in fact but there was something a bit different about the lady this time. Come to find out, she had plastic surgery done. It was absolutely amazing how much younger she looked.
Now I’m not as old as she is but it sure started me thinking just a bit. If you are going to have something like this done, please make sure you find a reputable plastic surgeon. We have all seen and heard about the nightmares of a bad plastic surgeon so what ever you do, make sure you find a good one and not some fly by night doctor. I sure will if and when I have something like that done. In fact, I’ll ask Mrs. Thompson who did hers since she looks so good.
