LOVE the wolf painting!!! AND, I love sandwiches with an egg. I used to HATE eggs. These past few years I'm loving them fried and placed in/on things like this. GO FIGURE!! lol
Have a super Wednesday!!!
Hugs! GeoSue
Love the history listings today. My favorite thing about May could be the lilacs in bloom.
I used to love Snack Bar duty at the Ball Park! Crazy, huh? That would be my dream job to run a snack bar at the Ball Park. The kids all wanted drinks they called suicide- it was a dash of everything on the fountain. Good times, Happy times! Enjoy it! I hope Tucker and Sami feel better soon. t and g
Oh my that sandwich was huge! As the Jack in the Box commercial with the little black boy who used to say "It's too big to eat"! lol
I see it's Glenn Ford's bday. His son is a member of the Republican Party of LA County and we see him at meetings all the time. He wrote a book about his childhood. It seems that most children of stars have had sad childhoods.
I have tried to think of a good name for your wolf but I am terrible at thinking up names! Remember, YOU had to name Lola! lol
XO Trisha
@L, so interesting the lovely scent of the lilacs in my dining room now! xo
@Tammy, I worked the snack bar too when Brian played Little League. It was fun! xo
@T, yes, the sandwich was huge, but it was breakfast and lunch! I'm sure Lola lives up to her name... whatever Lola wants, Lola gets!!! LOL xo
Dear Heart
We have our Shark about 4 months now and Shelly uses it all over the house. He loves it so - He wont let me use it. He shows me the dirt being picked up by the vacuum like he is a proud dad. Enjoy your shark....They are great...
