Surprise....I had cereal this morning and a buttered roll (warmed in microwave). Do not mention the rising cinnamon rolls anymore....taste buds are active and I have to run the vacuum. Lunch will be in a little bit. The exact time here now is 1:30 and I am going to try to get a bit more work done! Now, cinnamon rolls will be on my mind the rest of the day! Smarty!!!

Now, little yorkies - that's another story.

Good morning ladies.

Yes yorkie....on more than one occasion & have seen a coyote high tailing it down the road with a cat in his mouth. No way would I let my baby out without a leash & an escort!

We live close to response services. The coyotes can hear the sirens before we can hear them & will start mimicing the sirens. It's so funny but they sound just like them!:)

International Forgiveness Day
(Billie ... take note)




Match Day




United Nations Day




National Bologna Day




October 24, 1929: Known as “Black Thursday,” October 24 marked the beginning of the end. While on a typical day in 1929 four million shares traded hands, on this day a record 12.9 million shares were exchanged.

It took stock exchange clerks until 5 AM the next morning to clear all of the transactions. When the dust had settled, the market had dropped 9%. The headline from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle above says it all.




Black Cat Day





Pennsylvania Day

Pennsylvania, "The Keystone State"

Welcome! Flowers are so much a part of our lives, from birth to death, they mark all the important milestones and fill in the special occasions in between.

My kids like to tease me—Mom, don’t you have any clothes without flowers on them?!

Very few! :)

Blech! I remember those huge rolls of bologna from my childhood! I still can’t eat it. Only once in a great while—and only if it’s fried. LOL

Oh, no! I have never seen a coyote with anything in it’s mouth unless it came from “Yorkie’s Kitchen”. (Back in the old days, years ago, when I threw left-overs out back.)

I did watch a rottweiller chase a coyote through my yard a couple years ago, and when the rotty gave up the chase, and turned to go back to the road, the coyote came running behind him, mouth open. The dust that ensued was like a bomb going off. The rottie came out of the cloud, bleeding and yelping as he ran away. (The rottie was twice as big as the coyote, btw.)

When I was a kid, I used to love a bologna sandwich with mustard, on real soft white bread. So, a month ago, I bought a loaf of Wonder Bread, and a pkg. of bologna. I could hardly wait to bring back the ‘tastes of childhood.’

Was I ever in for a surprise. The bologna was like a sponge, and almost melted on my tongue like meringue before I spit it out. What ever happened to the solid bologna from a ‘hundred’ years ago?

That is amazing that the coyotes can mimic the sirens that well. Guess I should be glad that I’ve never seen anything but pictures of coyotes!

It is just amazing how flowers can put a smile on most anyone’s face. They must be hypnotic....they are to me!

I still love balogna. I buy Oscar Meyer ‘all beef balogna’ and personally, I think its delicious. I don’t buy it often as I don’t think its that good for you. Have you ever fried it? I love it fried, crispy, even if it has a little black on it.....I’m weird, I guess.

Leaving for a while.....BBL!
