Here & There

Nearby Parkplace is undergoing redevelopment & will become Kirkland Urban
Fortunately the grocery will be open during construction. 

Are Cheetos any better for you if you mix them with Trader Joe's baked green peas?

Interesting what I keep to remind me of Mom & Dad. This green folder was in Mom's desk after she died. It's one of my favorite colors. I use it every week. Mom was an avid reader. One day this book ended up on top of the folder - sweet reminders of Mom. 


Interesting patterns - in the carwash

Are any of you old enough to remember these date due slips in library books? They came after the card put in a pocket pasted to the book and before bar codes. 

Grits - Dad frequently made grits for breakfast. I never could understand the appeal. They can be rather tasteless as a cereal. The most he ever did was add some butter and maybe a bit of sugar on top. Now, add cheese and eggs and bake it and you've got something very tasty. Click hereGrits are very popular in The Bahamas. When we were  missionaries in The Bahamas, a Bahamian friend cooked us a memorable and delicious breakfast dish of grits, onions, sardines, and avocados. 

Any Downton Abbey fans? You might enjoy this spoof.
