What is the best Christmas present ever? A broken drum – you can’t beat it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea but this time of year brings back memories; some good and some not so good.  I thought about work today.  I remember this saying and it is still correct today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first, a run to the market to get some goodies!  I needed more berries, some beer (O’Doul’s) and a few other things!  Coming back home, Sue was ready to eat so we teamed up and made scrambled eggs with saut\u00e9ed veggies…bell pepper and mushrooms! Delicious!  I even made four pieces of veggie bacon… OK, but not fantastic.  I threw in two cheese and green onion tamales to complete the meal! It was great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After breakfast we do dessert and that when I get another berry fix… I have a scoop of fake chocolate ice-cream (whipped to put in a lot of air and reduce the amount of calories) and then lots of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries.  Antioxidants for sure! <\/p>\n\n\n

Did You Know?\u00a0Cranberries, blueberries, and blackberries ranked highest among the fruits studied. Apples ran a close second, and dried fruits were also leading contenders. Peaches, mangos, and melons, while scoring lower than berries, still contain plenty of antioxidants as well as other nutrients!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

After lunch Sue read and I went back out to get some Christmas placemats, drop by CVS’s photo center, and get gas in the car!<\/p>\n

The picture below is attempt #3 at getting the settings such that I can get an 8×10 glossy of a collage.\u00a0 This one has a 0.25″ border around the outside which is white (therefore you do not see it) and makes sure the content of the picture is not hidden by a picture frame! The previous attempts without any borders resulted in losing several corners in the frame.\u00a0 1\/4″ is perfect!\u00a0 Another lesson learned.<\/p>\n\n\n

We got gussied up and headed to Malarkey’s for the 4:44 PM sunset and we just made it!  It was bright and lighted up Catalina  in the distance.  We met up with Irene and continued solving the problems of the world!  I had two small corned-beef taco’s, a house speciality plus they were only $2.00!  Can’t beat that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
