Stump The Chief

So I was listening to the radio the other day and came across this on NPR there is a radio show The Splendid Table (with Lynne Rossetto Kasper) and they did this segment the host has a caller on the line they pick 5 items from there kitchen, she has to make a dish out of them, she can use water, salt, and pepper. She can ask for three other items but can only use them if the caller has the items. Now idk if she makes a request and you don't have it if that still counts as one of the three or not. I would imagine not. It was a lot of fun to listen to they have it available on the site to listen to. I love the idea and will use this as a game a parties! Tell everyone to right down 5 things from there kitchen. And then pair people up who knows we might get some fabulous ideas for dinner.

Fridays?

So I have two ideas for what to do on Fridays.

Flashback Friday. I would go through old photos, awards, and things. Write about them. Might even get some people to guest blog for me about a memory they have about a photo, or object.

Fur baby Friday. Pics of the animals since I felt a little strange about Meow Monday and including the dog in it.

I am typically off on Fridays who is to say I can't and won't post both, or do every other. I really like both ideas. What about you?

also i am testing the schedule future with this i wrote this in advance and it will hopefully post when i have it set to!

So it didn't work user error. shameful lol.... I'll try again sometime.

"I have $.85 will you give me a dollar."

This is what Gma said to roy today. She had asked me to go get her a soda and a snack from the vending machine. Which I was excited to because she had just finished dinner and was still hungry which is a good sign as far as I am concerned. When I came back and gave her the change she didn't want to keep track of it so she says in her sweet old lady voice to Roy requesting the exchange of her change for a whole bill so its easier to keep track of. Not only did he give her what she wanted he gave her two additional singles just in case. Gma promptly pulled out what looked to be a large wad of cash added the ones and shoves it all in her jacket. This made me smile and laugh cause one Roy has only ever seen the sweet side of my Gma and says all the time idk why any of you think she ever had attitude, and two cause even at her age she is getting more money from men then what she is given them for it.

As I am writing this Roy's reading it. And laughing I told him what its true you got suckered by the old lady voice. She is doing so much better and I think she is really enjoying all the attention she is getting now, not that my dad wasn't caring for her its just only so much he can do plus no daily interaction with more then just one person can get boring.
Btw this wasn't the idea I had for the post today but i just couldn't help myself it was to funny

Weekend wrap up!

Friday Roy's Uncle passed he had been in the hospital for a while it was expected. If that wasn't bad enough at the moment he received the call he was going outside with the dog. The electric company had been in our yard and didn't close the gate. Thankfully Dingo just ran down the street ans right back home.  I understand they don't know if we have a dog, but still they could simply leave things the way they were. some friends came over and hung out!

Yesterday we went to see Gma then to my company picnic, then to Mayfest, then dinner with a friend. It was a good day lots of walking! Today we were lazy. I look forward to our trip this week! Btw Dingo was acting odd tonight, like something scared her. Usually she sleeps on the outside of the bed but tonight had to sleep in the middle. Its so strange how human they can be even though they look so different. Even there organs, its just so strange to me.

The Puppy Monster and The Wasp

So I was cleaning out the gutters on the house the other day, I had taken a much needed extra day off work thought I'd spend some time on the house. So I grabbed the things I needed did the back of the house and decided I'd tie Dingo to the beams across the front of the house so I loop her leash clip it on her open the door and invite her out (I use that term lightly cause she doesn't just yet fully understand the concept).
