Hints Again

A sign painted bright red might make it easier. 

I'll have to try this.   Just made a complaint to the telephone company about telemarketing calls and found out you have to register each year on the do not call list;  a change we had no heard about.  Something drastic should be done as I had my answering tape filled while I was away. 



Be smart and don't eat KFC chicken any way. 

Need a vacation spot  Howe Island in Australia only allows four hundred visitors a  year.  A blue lagoon, isn't that a beauty! 

A Peruvian desert  called Huacachina  with only one hundred people living there. Now that is a fantastic oasis.  I bet if you sent a couple of weeks there you would get to know everyone.

A truism

The good news is that daughter Christine has opened a special photo shop to forward my vacation pictures.  The bad news is she hasn't had time to add the pictures and instructions on how to use the program.   You may have to wait awhile longer.

We stayed at a cool fifty degrees yesterday and I did get the front bushes watered .   I got all of my assigned jobs done for a Monday and decided to make a chicken pot pie for dinner.  I had forgotten how much work goes into one.  I've made homemade baking powder biscuits for  years but yesterday I had to think twice before I got the batter all together.  They came out fine but for a minute or two I was not sure.  When you don't cook as often, or as much, your sense of pinch and cook expertise takes a back seat.    At least there are plenty of left overs for dinner tonight.

So go out into your kitchen and work up a batter of something good.  Take  your time and hum along with some good music and a glass of wine or whatever it is you like to sip as you cook.  Water is good, coffee isn't at all bad either.  Set  your table and add a flower or two from your garden.  If  you don't have a garden, pick up a small bouquet at the store when you go for that last item you forgot.   Invite family or friends to join you and have a catch up time.   Be gentle, be of good cheer so your smile radiates as you walk into a room.   Don't forget the hugs.    Hugs to all.
