An LOL shared by my pal Ellen Naugle Pantalone....

Earl and Bubba are quietly sitting on a boat fishing, chewing tobacco, and drinking beer when suddenly Bubba says, "Think I'm gonna divorce my wife - she ain't spoke to me in over 2 months."

Earl spits overboard, takes a long slow sip of beer and says, "Better think it over ... women like that are hard to find."

Yesterday I went into Grants Pass to have a blood draw at the Three Rivers Lab. Then onto Safeway for dog food, cat food, and wine! Then a stop at Pita Pit, next to the now closed Albertson's.....

I had never been to a Pita Pit before. They have pita sandwiches: meat pitas, veggie pitas, and breakfast pitas.

I ordered two. Oink. One was hummus with fresh spinach, avocado, tomato, olives, and pepper jack cheese. 

The other one is a veggie pita with a bunch of veggies and ranch jalapeno dressing! Today's lunch!

Here are locations... if you have not tried one, you MUST!!!!
