Day 139 - Lisa
After many attempts I finally conquered replicating a good ole fashion just greasy enough steak sandwich from Cecil's in Hayward. My old neighborhood peeps will understand. ;>

Day 137 - Sis
You know when you go to an event, or play like us last night and afterwards you go into the bathroom where it's buzzing with excited conversations? I heard peeing.

Day 137 - Lisa
On a main street in our little town there is an overpass that has these blue lights on both sides. There is no explanation for them. Why they exist is a mystery but every time I pass them at night for some odd and strange reason I think of Fantasmic and want to break out in a little Mickey Sorcerer dance.

Day 136 - Sis
I love fresh flowers and just as happy as Lisa when she received them last week. Then they started to fade and turn brown so I saved as many as possible and we still have this pretty bouquet.

My mom bought this magnet and placed it on the freezer door. I get a good laugh every time I go to open the door. LOL!

Day 135 - Sis
While my cousins (Lisa's Godparents) visited between Christmas and New Years a conversation lead me to tell about the results of some eggs I had boiled. I boiled the eggs sort of, well okay, forgot about them long enough for all the water to evaporate and they exploded. Burnt pot and egg bits covering a good part of the kitchen was the outcome. I'm never sure just how long to let them go and my timing was a bit off that day. My cousin told me she uses an egg boiler in the microwave and they are always perfect. Today this gift from them was a surprise in the mail. Wish me luck!

My AP runs out in December, don't think I'm going to make it back before it expires...

I love my little camera but hate to read all the information, so when I accidentally hit a wrong button and throw the settings out of whack I have to dig out the booklets!

Dry whole wheat bread does not go to waste. Use it in recipes or to feed the birds outside the front window.

Day 131 - Lisa
Mom bought sunii a new toy today. sunii only has about 15 toys now. And like most all kids growing up her favorites are not the catnip filled mice, the light up ball or the stick with the dangle stuff on the end. Nope, it's the cardboard box with holes in it, the wadded up plastic bag. You know aka the pots, pans & tupperware for toddlers. She thinks sunii is not as active as my other cats were; Nicia who only moved to stalk someone coming up or down her stairs, scare Simba or hang from Sammy's jowls. Ozzie who only liked to prowl at night otherwise he was a 14lb lap dog. Or Pita who would climb on your back while you were down on your knees gardening, painting wallboards or just about anything else, curl up and go to sleep. ;>

Day 130 - Sis
On my way to my doctor appointment today put the garbage in the back of Lisa's truck, so we could dump it and it was pretty ripe smelling. As we drove up to the garbage dump "gazebo" one of the maintenance guys was freshing up the look of the area with grey paint. That's nice but this prevented us from ridding the truck of the bag. Time concerns prevented us from going back to the apartment. It took us 45 minutes to get to my destination and about an hour before I was done. Mind you, Lisa is waiting in the vehicle with windows down, in 87% weather and humid. Then we decided since we were in the area where an Olive Garden was, dinner seemed to be a good idea. After Olive Garden we made a stop at the Hobby Lobby store, close by, followed by a stop for fuel. Now 4 hours later, what can I say, the bag is reeking and probably pulsating. We pull into our complex and can't believe Lisa was heading for the gate instead of the "gazebo"! Think her olfactory sense was beyond damaged. Garbage was dumped but don't know how long that aroma will be in the interior of truck.

Day 128 - Sis
Received a package from my baby sister Roberta today, no reason. This is a sweatshirt from my hometown high school. As a freshman because Hayward had only one high school we had to be bussed to Arroyo High in San Lorenzo. As a sophomore they built Tennyson, Hayward's second high school and we only lived about 5 blocks from it. As a junior I moved in with my grandparents and finally was able to attend the most beautiful high school, old Hayward High. It sat on a knoll and the buildings were beautiful, painted white and with lonic columns. It opened in 1893 and closed in 1962 when it was leveled for the Plaza Center Tower to be built. Go Farmers!
Day 128 - Lisa
A very nice surprise when I got home. Flowers telling me to keep my head up from someone who knows my challenge. The bigger surprise for both of us is two florists sent the same order of flowers. LOL They are both really pretty.

Love this particular picture of the Lady, just wish she could have sent a little more out of her account!

Totally made a really crappy day GREAT when I came home and opened my mail. Thank you notes from the students of the class I sponsored. I was able to provide these kids colored markers and journals so they could express themselves by drawing and writing. This is a wonderful organization. I'm so happy for these kids. Please go to DonorsChoose.org and help our teachers out!

First item I have for my trip to New Orleans in June. A new tag, hoping it will help me recognize my suitcase as it goes round and round on the baggage claim conveyor.

Looks like it's going to be this kind of night, certainly not Robin Hood which I hope to see this weekend.

Received these beautiful strawberries from my daughter Yolanda; early Mother's Day gift. There were a dozen and no. I didn't eat them, gave 4 away as the berries are huge! Anyone drooling yet?

I thought grocery shopping was going to be the worst part of my day, I was wrong, it was much worse starting earlier.

Day 119 - Sis
Lisa kindly ordered some pasta for dinner from a deli, they delivered it to her job and she brought it home. She has eaten this particular dish before but I have never had their product. One problem, she didn't call and ask me what I'd like and so ordered two of these meals of bow tie pasta with chicken, mushrooms, vegetables and cheese. Second problem, I hate mushrooms! She didn't think it would have as many mushrooms with the chicken added. If you look to the right of this serving you will notice at least a cup of mushrooms left from my meal. Appreciate my daughter's efforts but think I'll choose my own meals in the future.

Day 117 - Sis
Attended Snellville Days festival at the beautiful Briscoe Park. Crafts, foods, local business booths, pretty much the standard for all festivals. We spent our money on the newer things we found. Yes, food always beats most crafts!
