OMG.... "Mr.
Clean" became Mr. LayMultipleWomenandHaveChildrenWithAllofThem!! What a
story.
Yesterday during the pouring rain I went into Grants Pass to get some Christmas stuff, a stop at the post office (stood in long line!), pharmacy for prescriptions. What was amazing, once I got into Rogue River the rain stopped! It didn't rain again until last night. Got my shopping done and all the items carried into the house and not a drop of rain! Yes!!! I wore my "what wine goes with dog hair" sweatshirt and got into lots of fun conversations with people in Safeway!
Dinner was reruns. Then a couple good phone chats with pals. Chair, TV,
wine. Saw a program I had never seen before.... Small Town Big Deal. www.smalltownbigdeal.com
So interesting the show last night, a German founded town, Frankenmuth,
Minnisota where Bronners has their store and factory http://www.bronners.com and Zenders http://zenders.com where
in their restaurant they serve up 1000 chickens a day! http://www.zehnders.com/dining/zchefscafe.htm
In their on-line store they sell a number of their food products. The
chicken seasoning sounds awesome and I want to get some!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.
