Good 47º cloudy Cinco de Mayo!
HAPPY CINCO de MAYO!
I am so happy a day to celebrate mayonnaise! I LOVE mayonnaise! Yippppeeeeeeee........................
Yesterday was so frustrating. I did a little weed-eating in the front yard and then went to start the riding lawnmower.... Nada! No nothing. I hooked it up to the battery charger. Checked back in an hour. Still nada! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Called Dave. He said he'd be up in a while.
So I picked up tree fall. What a chore. All that bending. It wore me and my back
out. Dave finally got up here and the DANGED lawnmower started right up! Sigh.
Was too tired to mow by then.

National Hoagie Day
National
Hoagie Day was created to give us a
special day to enjoy and celebrate a big, tasty hoagie.You know of this big
sandwich as a hoagie, a sub or a hero. And, it's a regular on most diets in
America. People eat them for lunch, dinner, and even as a late night snack. It's
a quick meal or people on the go.
The
popularity of the Hoagie sub is partly due to the diversity and variety of its
contents. It can be hot or cold, luncheon meat or meatballs, and will contain o
cheese, or any of a variety of cheeses. Then, the fun begins as you pile on any
number and combinations of extras.
Celebrate National Hoagie Day by eating a Hoagie for at least one meal or
a snack. Make or buy your favorite hoagie. Or, be adventurous and try a new
combination.
