weekly menu at the Eppson Center 2022 Check out the menu for Wednesday, March 23rd . . . it was a typo 😉 If patrons are required to wear masks in the building . . . why not the potatoes!

Ahh, the memories!  Did people really dress like that in the 70s?   Did I?  Did you?

near Parker, CO December 2021   My niece sees the funniest things on her morning walks around her neighborhood. Last year it was a  HUGE reindeer  reindeer, but the photo she took last week made me laugh out loud! 

Tow Mater West Laramie, Wyoming November 2021 If you're not familiar with Mater, you probably haven't seen the animated movies by Pixar featuring talking cars ( Cars, Cars 2, and Cars 3 ). Mater, a tow truck, is one of the main characters.  

I can relate, can you? 

Remember the little Coppertone girl in the ads?  Maybe the company should try a new approach!

In this area, gasoline prices typically increase around Memorial Day and stay that way until tourist season ends in the Fall.  Currently the price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline is hovering around $3.00 Thanks to the COVID-19 shutdowns, I used only two tanks of gasoline from March 2020 through April 2021. I drove so little, that the car battery had no life in September 2020. After that, I set a reminder to drive the car every week to keep the battery charged. Now, that life is returning to “normal,” I won’t have any worries about a dead battery.  What is the cost of gasoline in your area? 

. . . you remember desk phones and curly cords.  

I remember "helping" my Mom hang clothes to dry: I handed her the clothes pins. I'm sure she could have done the work in half the time. In the winter, her hands would turn red from the wet clothes and the cold weather. Jeans, on the clothesline, would freeze in the winter and could stand on their own when brought into the house to thaw. I miss having a clothesline and the smell of sun-dried sheets. 

Red and Rover by Brian Basset has become a favorite comic strip of mine.  More of Red and Rover can be found here .
