Borrow money from a pessimist — they don’t expect it back!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first… heading out the door to go shopping. I love my Amazon Alexa as I keep the shopping list on line and therefore I always have it…to Ralph’s and beyond! Today it was the vitals…eggs, egg beaters (for days I want oto be healthy), raspberries, protein bars, and tookies! Yes, we were running low on tookies…not allowed, what if there were an earthquake?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe called, our son, and we talked for 30 minutes or more. He is thinking about giving me a smaller camera and the trusty old Canon 60D is heavy. He wants me to try the Sony 7. Sounds good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weighs in at about half the canon! Will be easier to drag around!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The trip took about two hours and it was cool out but once the ol’ body got to moving, it was OK. I listened to Dr. Laura as I subscribe to her show\/website and had several episodes saved up…damn, she is fantastic. Somehow, I think we are soulmates as I agree with her 99% of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After getting home, I headed to the garden and chopped off about eight of our broccoli plants. Want something high in Vitamin C but don’t feel like eating fruit? Broccoli is very high in Vitamin C, making 1 cup of chopped broccoli the Vitamin C equivalent of an orange. One cup of raw chopped broccoli will give you your entire daily needed intake. Although it may be known as the “golden state”, California produces 90% of our nations broccoli. Perhaps we should rename California as the “broccoli state.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sliced and diced and prepared the florets for a seven minute bath on hot water…tomorrow, we will have broccoli soup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch was easy… I reheated my Mexican selection from GG Elks and Sue did a warm-up on the remains from A’Roma. Of course the the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance of the meal was ice cream loaded with berries! I am on my weight watch so I had two spoon full of chocolate and a cup (or more) of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries! It was berry good…sorry, could not resist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
An amazing green… Is St. Patrick’s around the corner?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the afternoon, I wrote thank you notes for my Christmas and my birthday presents, paid some bills, talked to the Chartier’s and Crazy Greg on the Alexa video phone, and got a large pile of clothes ready to go to the dry cleaners. We have formal dances coming up and I needs to be ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needing a boost, I went to Youtube and selected an Amos n’ Andy TV series from 1953…The Kingfish is selling a uranium mine! Just watch! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to get rid of all vulgar shows on TV a d put Amos n Andy back on producers give the public what they feel will give them rating. I say give all people like me what we like a nice clean show that will give us and our kids laughter. These people were amazing actors and funny as funny gets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
