A Bit of This and That

Lessons to be learned. Spending money we don't have. I guess it doesn't matter what household is involved, but we do know that it has a bad effect on all of us. I walked through a grocery story yesterday for a loaf of bread and a half gallon of milk and it was over five dollars. I was thinking I should start lessons on Depression eating as I do remember what we had as it is ingrained in the brain.

Now if you are in the mood for crabs, these would not do as the entire basket with all its goodies is a cake; along with the basics the baker added, fondant, graham crackers, vanilla wafers,white chocolate all done up for a wedding to the tune of $700. How clever and artistic. I wonder what it tasted like.

Daughter Pat finally made it to Agness for the annual powwow of the native Indians. It is called "A Gathering of the People" . It is a two day affair and the first day was rained out, although the activities went on. Pat called her day there as a "soggy Saturday" but she did see the canoe races. The boats were carved from the same tree and paddled through strong Rouge River currents. One of the canoes tried to hitch a ride when Jerry's Jet boat passed by and this was not considered cheating but 'using available sources' . . . ah, ingenuity at its best. A fun day for all.

When I saw this picture, I immediately thought of Emma because it looks like Emma and it is something Emma would do in a heart beat. We do not have any new babies around for her to kiss but she wouldn't hesitate for a minute. She loves to be loved and she just wont leave you alone until she gets to greet you as she rolls over and shows you her belly.

As for this picture, believe it or not those little dots are actually Big Horn Sheep climbing on the Buffalo Bill Dam on the Shoshone River in Cody,Wyoming. Stranger than strange, how do they do it?

So today, it is Saturday all day, a weekend to enjoy and I will be helping with a yard sale as this is Yard Sale Saturday with about ninety sales in town. Pat and I were not going to do this again, you remember me saying that more than once....never, ever, again! Well we have been attending to a garage sale or two and you know we have to lighten the load and 'out with the old and in with the new' and yard sales are the only way to go. I just bought six books this past week at yard sales so had to make room in my bookcase and donated at least ten books to this sale. Wish us luck, we will need it. Get out there and go treasure hunting, who knows what you will find. Make your today special, just like you. Hugs to all.
