Traveling Bug

I was looking at a map,
and I recounted my few trips across our great nation,
and was counting states I have been in or through.
I am fortunate to have many wonderful memories
(actually considering the late seventies I am lucky to have any memory at all)

So as I counted I came up with 25 states I have been in or through.
Truth be told there were times I drove through a state and never got out of the car.
I will not bore you with the list now, but be aware that if super Lotto ever comes my way,
(Please God!)
I will pilot a super sized RV andcd get myself ( and my small entourage) to the rest of the states.
I am mostly missing the deep south, and the upper midwest.

I am not sure if I should claim Alaska, since I was in the Anchorage airport on a trip to Japan in 1971. ( i was a wee lad)

How many states have YOU been in or through? and where will your next visit be
(with or without a Jackpot)?

Have a fun weekend - my trusted computer is having a weekend in the shop, Grrrr!
Instead of withdrawal, I am choosing to make bean soup, apple butter, and Lemon Bars.
and Maybe watch it snow.....

There goes Carmi....

WWCP

I looked up and there was Carmi Levy, dashing to another of his appointments.
I wonder if he got a picture of me?
I waved just in case. 

No computer

today's flow of syllables and vowels has been interrupted by a computer failure of some sort.
I am so sorry to post just this tidbit on Sugarloaf Mountain.
Until I talk to the Dali's mama in New Dehli, I have to borrow my daughters machine.

For now read Great Minds, Where Matt has a new post, Thanks

***** Phone ringing....
" hello, thank you for calling Eversoft, where we care about you and your problems. How may I provide you with excellent service today? and would you like a falafel with that order?"

*** Click! Dial tone ****

add Brandy
to pears, sugar and a few blackberries,
cook a bit in a hot water bath
and presto!
Brandied pears.
voila

 

what if ????

but what if one of these emails that tells me I have won a European Lotto is for real and I delete it? wouldn't that be a hoot!

Making coffee in the morning

water on to boil: check
look for melitta cone filter holder: found
pull mug from dish drain: check, but also wash one tray from freezer, look out window and see cute bird scratching for food, marvel at how much I enjoy his 'dance" and that I am not in a hurry to give up that pleasure for even coffee.
put paper filter into mellita cone: check
Open coffee crock: its empty!
Find bag of beans after checking cupboard, no its still in the fridge.
Look for grinder: not in cabinet one, or two. Aha it is on top of the island, where I left it.
Grind some beans and start the coffee. Pour boiling water.

------------------------- Yay! ( you would think) the coffee is done.
but there is still the bird bath to defrost which turns into a science experiment
(and of course a potential blog post, stay tuned)
it just gets wackier!

I love that you read this drivel. If you want more, it's in the sidebar under "Great minds" where I share the writing with my new pal, Matt.

Breakfast with the boss.

That is me. The boss, but never bossy!
---------------------------------------
I’m very much enjoying my toasted bagel .
It’s a little bit cold in my room, but the kettle is on the stove, and the fire is burning hot on a beautiful clear Saturday while I plan my day.

Having breakfast at my house is not as easy as it would seem.
After I put the bagel in the toaster and put the water on to a boil I almost immediately began to go upstairs to my computer.
The toaster and the boiling water were out of my mind. I couldn’t believe it myself. That is the way it is for me with ADD, and I am sure that it is the same for many others.
The tea kettle boiled for more than five minutes!
Funny, yes, unless I burn the kitchen down….

I am hosting another TEAM blog which I hope will be a place for prayer encouragement and stories about the Crazy life of people like me, and the ways that God ( forever may His name be praised) gets us through our days. I thank Matt for his generous contributions, to date, and look forward to many more stories. You may email them in to me. I edit very lightly (opr not at all) The new Blog on ADHD
and ADD and depression is coming soon. ( technical difficulties) email me for blog address
or see it on my profile "Great minds"
