Happy Golf Lovers Day!!

I got some Cheetos this weekend. I am addicted again. :)

Golf is an extremely bad idea for me.
I took out power over a small area once by trying my hand at golf.
I hit one of those on pole transformers with the golf ball.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Meekie.

Have a fun day and enjoy those sweet potatoes.

[NicknamedBob]

The word "your" in the Rap should have been "you're".

(Ya gotta be fast to catch that kinda stuff!)


Otherwise, it was entirely and completely accurate.

[tuliptree76]

Hehehe. The last time I played golf, I discovered that I can throw the golf ball farther than I can hit it.

[Darksheare]

LOL!!!

[JustAmy]

Hey .... how about sharing some of your 4:00am writings?

We don't mind if it is old, recycled material!!

[JustAmy]

:)

Peaceful, isn't it?

[NicknamedBob]

"I hit one of those on pole transformers with the golf ball."

A reverse Zot!

You are one remarkable dude!!

[Darkchylde]

I have to go find some. I have a book & a 1/2 of
poetry, so I have to go through a lot of pages.

The scene is peaceful, but the statement by the barn-owner is bold!

[MEG33]

I just sent that to my grandson!LOL

[Darksheare]

She's grabbed one and is currently typing it in.

[Darksheare]

It was insane.
I said "Fore!" and LO! there was blackness and sparks..

I wrote one called Vertigo at 4:30am. Here goes...

Spinning around,
towards the ground.
Thousands of wild colors abound.
Up again towards the sky,
wait a minute, I can't fly.
Down again, towards the floor,
I think I'll stay here a little more.
Dust bunnies, those evil mongers,
beg me to stay a wee bit longer.
But I get up & to my surprise,
I can't see anything before my eyes.
Once again to the floor I go,
this is becoming quite a show.
I think I'll just lay here for a bit...
at least till I shake this vertigo fit!

For those who would like to celebrate Taco Day with more than just the little taco seasoning packet...

(I'm not sure how good this one is since I haven't made it before, but it sounds good)

Ingredients:
* 2 lbs ground beef
* 1 teaspoon Salt
* 2 tablespoons Chilli powder
* 2 tablespoons Paprika
* 1 teaspoon Cumin
* 1 teaspoon Garlic powder or 2 cloves
* 1/2 diced Bell pepper
* 1/2 diced medium Onion
* 12 corn tortillas

Instructions for taco recipe:
In 2 quart sauce pan add ground beef, salt, chili powder, garlic, cumin, paprika, enough water to cover meat. Bring to a boil. Simmer over medium low heat about an hour. Then add 1/2 medium chopped onion, 1/2 medium chopped bell pepper continue cooking 20 or 30 more minutes.

Soft beef Tacos: Heat oil in skillet. Cook corn tortillas, one at a time, in hot oil until soft, about 10 to 15 seconds; drain.

Spoon 2 Tablespoons of the beef taco meat in center of each tortilla. Fold tortilla over meat; or roll up like an enchilada.

Garnish with tomato, lettuce, and cheese. Topped with sour cream and guacamole would be great. Rice and refried beans would complete the plate. Serving Salsa on the side.
