A meandering post

O.K--don't laugh. Sorry the quality is not better--I had to take a picture of a picture. Guess I should get Keith to get me on for my birthday.
Yes, it is a Keith and I. And why ???? you ask am I posting a picture of my engagement picture when it is not anywhere near my anniversary?
Weeeeell-because Jan over at Shore Stories is hosting her pay it forward that she won a while back. First she said you just had to comment to enter---but then she did the most horrible thing.........She asked for a picture from high school. Eeewwwww!
But fortunately for me all of my old pictures are in storage. Honest!
So since this picture was taken in 1988--probably when most of you were in high school or grade school..or horror, maybe before you were born.......yes, I feel old------I asked if I could use my engagement picture. As you can see I was given approval.
Don't you feel blessed?
Now..............if you want to get in on the fun and enter the pay it forward-------ya gotta have a picture. First post a picture and then go over to Shore Stories and let her know.
She will only draw names from those who live in the US or Canada and she will do it on the 17th of this month. So run and get those pictures-----and then POST them!
I will be coming to see them.

Part TWO of this meandering post!


Since today is STILL the humorous weather day I thought I would show ya'll what my crew has been up to. As it was sooooo hot outside the other day (70).... Julia decided that it was plenty warm to get into the pool. Notice- no Mom in these pictures. Wise Mom.
Dad knowing what was waiting went and got his diving wet suit on. Julia stood quite a while on the diving board--unsure of her decision.

During the summer Keith usually keeps only the mustache--my favorite. But during the winter because of hunting and working outside he grows the grisly adams look. As you can see it seems to be rebelling the idea of being confined. Notice he is flexing his muscles for me.

Julia on the right in mid air---below---Julia 10 seconds later scurrying out of the pool.
Mister man in black never got in. :)

Part three of the meandering post.

Many of you know that I used to be a Chef in a former life.
No, just kidding-- well about the former life anyway. ;)
So... my friend Tracy has taken upon herself to make sure I stay on tract with all kinds of gadgets for the kitchen. I do miss the creativity but not the stress. The other day she sent me a gadget that looked like a long pickle for. But it had these strange wires on the sides. Today I found out it was not for pickles at all--it is for cheese. The wire cuts the cheese and then you use the fork on the end to pick up the cheese. Pretty cool.
And then next she gave me a kiwi scoop.
I don't really eat kiwi that often so I found that you could use it for cucumbers.
While talking this morning we found we were fixing the same thing for dinner.
She in Georgia and me in Louisiana. Great minds still think alike.
So I thought I would show her a picture of dinner--Red Beans and brown rice with venison sausage and whole wheat bread. Also we had salad and I used the kiwi scoop on the cucumber.
Aren't you proud of me Tracy?

This is the end of posting for today! Yes, I have to go study. I am being very bad.
I hope I can think of something serious for tomorrow.
Ha!--like that will be hard.
