At the grocery.....

I guess we wish this was a recent picture. He is smiling so he must have been making money....

Lots of coconut things are coming out. We don't get new products that soon so you may have tried this already.


Last night on the news there was a feature on Keurig cups, the kind you buy that are filled with coffee. The criticism is that they are not recyclable, because foil and paper are combined inside.

I like Columbian coffee so I have always used the make-it-yourself pods that came with the machine, but I found these new ones at Meijers, which I like better and use a paper filter which is a lot less clean-up. If you use these machines you will understand what I mean. The paper filter with the coffee can just be tossed in the garden. The plastic EZ Cup is $12.99 and the paper filters are 4.99 for 50. Even with buying the filters and your own ground coffee it is cheaper than the Keurig cups, which can't be recycled. Just a thought.

My Keurig is right up there on my list of favorites with my computer and camera and all of you.

Pillow

Things are good. In Springfield, Mark had surgery on his arm and is doing well and V had a birthday with flowers by Kynda and lemon cake . Here at home in Michigan, Rosie and Joy are coming to visit me this weekend, and this is a pillow that PJ will take to her friend.

Just little things today but they are the best kind. Happy Thursday.

Everyone has their own reason for liking pinterest. I haven't heard any negatives except it steals away your life.

I like it for keeping groups of similar interests together and those are there for a quick reference. Lately I have been going through some old photos that I have trouble keeping track of, so I decided it would be a good place to put those as well. So I will be boring you with some of those from time to time.

My home town, Paducah, Kentucky has a Paducah Memories page on Facebook and perhaps your hometown might have one too. Old and new pictures and reminiscenses are fun ; I even ran across a post by my SIL, Mark. You may find some old friends on your hometown page if there is one.....or you could start one yourself!

I promise though, only a few of these. Happy Tuesday. John Michael and I are watching Elmo today!

Detroit pics.....

I just turned off the football game because when I watch, our family's team seems to lose. I liked Mr. Eastwood's commercial for Dodge and Detroit.

The second picture is the Woodward promise, hope you can read it.

Today I learned that footballs are made in the USA in Ada, Ohio. There are 120 footballs used in the Superbowl. Well, maybe I'll just turn it back on for one minute.

Something finished....

I need to sew before I forget how. I finished something today for The Farm (which will be open soon!). It is good to have something I made to post.

I seem to have a problem with Newport cigarette ad comments. If anyone has a suggestion, I would appreciate it. Most of those kinds of things don't come through on my comments but this one seems to be persistent. And cigarettes are not my blogger friend.

Happy Saturday everyone.

Valentine surprise.....

Your day is perfect when Linda sends you a surprise in the mail. Things are awfully sweet that come from Parker's Paradise! Thank you so much Linda for thinking of me!

Happy Friday everyone ! Be so thankful for good friends.

Lavender...

Loading pictures is not to be this morning, so here are just a few. PJ and Jeff had discovered Lafayette Greens next to a great coney island downtown. I guess these would be solar potting sheds. They weren't open, but the garden was and we could explore their raised beds of plants.


I have never had lavender that didn't go everywhere and get woody but I really liked this one. They may have trimmed it earlier.

We saw the Rembrandt Face of Jesus exhibit at the Institute of Arts. No pictures of course but I was so happy to get to go, so thank you PJ and Jeff. It was realllly crowded and that's a good thing. Maybe tomorrow, blogger will let me load pictures.
