Last Orange

I am down to the final and last orange of the season.

The tree will be blooming, along with the lime and two lemon trees, shortly.

The smell is unbelievably fragrant.

I usually have to take my allergy pills.

Enjoy!

Party Like it is 1974

Blonde Girl is already up watching cartoons.

Remember when kids used to LIVE for Saturday morning cartoons?

Now, they have a network that has them on all the time.

I was telling the children in our class that we only used to have 1 -2 birthday parties while we were growing up.

The rest were family parties with ice cream and cake.

No clowns, pet zoos, spa treatment parties or horse rides.

Miss Brunette birthday is coming up and she is making her plans.

We usually do something special, go out to dinner and the guests sleep over.

I only let them have two friends!!!!

Adventures of Blonde Girl

When Blonde Girl learned that Neighbor John had a piece of our cactus,

she bee-lined it over to his house.

I had an extra pot.

He had desert soil,

cactuses really don't like potting soil.

And, Blonde Girl has a part of our cactus.

Walking a Mile in My Shoes

While Blonde Girl is at soccer practice,
Miss Brunette and I walk this great track that circles around Miss Thing's soccer field.
I started wearing a pedometer to track my miles logged at soccer practice.
We usually walk two - three.
However, since 4:45 pm,
I have walked 5.27 miles.
I may wear it all day tomorrow.

Dressing Up

It is spirit week at the girl's school.

Monday was pajama day,

Blonde Girl wore boxers.

Today is identical day.

Luckily both of them had a twin.

I HATE twin day.

I complain about it every year.

I think it leaves people out.

Tomorrow is sports day.

Thursday is formal dress,

I am thinking not black tie.

Friday is clash day.

Blonde Girl really goes all out for this one.

As for my dress up.

I wear aprons to school.

One of my kids, told me she sure missed the turkey apron!

Mom made it.

It has a big turkey on it and feathers.

Truly, it is the bomb!

I normally wear one with denim jean pockets.

It is a good, everyday apron.

I have them for all of holidays.

I like some better than others.

The kids at school LOVE them.

Lost in Space

I lost one of my very favorite earrings.

Yes, I have said the prayer to St. Anthony.

Now, Miss Brunette's class t-shirt has gone missing.

We think her friend may have hers and ours.

She is going to check.

The Big Day

When I was a kid,

Super Bowl Sunday was not a national holiday.

The grocery store last night was a MAD HOUSE.

It was the worst I have ever seen it.

I am accustomed to long lines around holidays.

We are having this:

white chili with hominy and red peppers : Food Network.

It was served at bunco and is fabulous.

Watch the cilantro or it will be spicy.

Enjoy your day.

Go Cardinals!
