Darn you Walmart you are evil. You lured me in to buy a popcorn tin with three different kinds of yummy popcorn inside. I just couldn't say no. It was on sale, only two dollars and fifty cents. And, Yes, it is possible to almost eat the whole tin of popcorn in one sitting. Ouch my tummy hurts...what aisle is the Pepto-dismal in?
Clean up on aisles 8..9.. and 10.

Potty Time
I am teaching my grand daughter potty etiquette. I showed her how to wipe from front to back. I made up a little song. "Front to back..front to back"..I then told her "One day when you get big this may come in handy when you have to take care of grandma."

Ikea: Not Just For Swedish Meatballs
Have you ever been to an Ikea store? Ikea is humongous. It is a giant warehouse and show room. Everything Ikea sells is set up in staged rooms. There are hundreds of rooms to walk in and view. It is like going to a real estate open house. Everything from real clothes in the closets and dishes on the dinning room table. Bedrooms,living rooms,bathrooms,children's rooms and kitchens in every style abound. Ikea even has it's own cafeteria because when you visit an Ikea it takes so long to see everything that you a bound to get hungry. I recommend their Swedish meatballs.
My friends and I go to Ikea sometimes to shop. Other times we go to Ikea to play. Here is what we play. We play Hide and Go Seek. Yes the favorite children's game is what we play. With Ikea having all those rooms set up like many different houses we never run out of places to hide. I once cramped myself into a coat closet. You should see the looks of surprise on peoples faces when they accidentally stumble upon someone hidden in a bed or under a dinning room table. Yeah, I know that I am an adult but I suffer from a rare disease. Peter Pan Syndrome.

Yeah, I'm One of Those Persons
I had to brave WalMart today. I donned my spanking brand new Snuggie. I was camouflaged as a regular everyday WalMart citizen. My infiltration of the masses went unnoticed or so I thought. But quite a few fellow WalMartians mistook me for a celebrity. My picture was taken a few times. I was told that I can go see myself on The People of WalMart.com
As a footnote * The Snuggie is not a new invention. I have been wearing my bathrobe backwards for years.
Don't Look!
Don’t Look
A few years ago my daughter invited me to go on a trip with her and her husband and their children. We live in Florida and the trip was planned to visit North Carolina. The objective of the trip was to find snow. My three grandchildren had never seen snow. I was asked to come along all expenses paid to help with the children.
I agreed to the deal and we left the week after Thanksgiving. We left Florida in the early evening hours. The two older boys fell asleep but my grand daughter was a small baby and she was fussy. I asked my son in law to please take the next exit so we could change the baby’s diaper and get some coffee. He did not want to stop but I convinced him to do so. We were somewhere in Georgia and it was two a.m. when we found a seven-eleven store to stop at.
After taking care of the baby and stretching our legs we headed out again. No sooner then we got back onto the highway we saw trouble ahead. Police lights and road flares lit the dark cold night. My son in law screamed at my daughter and I “Don’t look.” What does one do when they hear the words don’t look? You look. There had been an accident. I only saw one car. One body. The accident must of just happened. I witnessed a mangled body laying in the middle of the highway. I saw a police officer place a sheet over the body. My immediate thought was to pray. I closed my eyes and prayed . Dear Lord please be with this persons family and loved ones, surround them with your love at this time of need. One last thing Lord, I hope it was the deceased time to leave this earth.
No sooner then I had finished my prayer my cell phone alerted me that I had a text message. I thought who would be texting me? I noticed the incoming number was from out of the country. I opened up the text and read the following: On Time Arrival.

Bread Making
In anticipation of receiving a new bread machine come Christmas morning I have been searching recipes. I have a good hunch that I will be getting a bread machine. My two year old grand daughter has let the cat out of the bag, by ripping open my gift to be in front of me. My daughter re- wrapped the gift. What has been seen can not be unseen. So I googled bread recipes and stumbled upon a really interesting person that I would like to share. Miss Clara reminds me of my mother and my grandmother she has great wisdom and lots of recipes. Enjoy!
