An email from my friend...

I just read this email from from my friend Julie. It was sent to her by her mom.

If any of you guys tell me you already knew this I will REALLY feel like a dummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who ever looks at the ends of your aluminum foil box? What a fantastic idea. (go look).
Now, if someone would just make plastic wrap that didn't stick to itself. I've been using aluminum foil for more years than I care to remember. Great stuff, but sometimes it can be a pain. You know, like when you are in the middle of doing something and you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over.

Well, I would like to share this with you. Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, Press here to lock end. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there?

I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too. I can't count the number of times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up. Go on, go look at your boxes!

Now being me I frist think that this is a joke until I went and looked at my foil box and sure enough there is a tab on each end that you are supposed to push in to keep the darn roll from popping out of the box!!!!! How come I never noticed that before??

Grandma Do...Meghan this is for you

I remember one of my last visits with Grandma Do. A group of us family had gone to see her and she kept calling me Meghan. I remember thinking "I am not Meghan. She has red hair, I don't. She is a little kid, I was not a little kid". I do know that towards the end of the visit she knew who I was. But yes Meghan you were there so you did meet her!!

Grandma Do

I wanted to post some pictures of my Great Grandma Do (pronouced like dough). She was such a neat lady. I remember visiting her when I was little down south somewhere, don't ask me where because I don't remember. And then getting to spend lots of time with her when she was moved to Ventura to live. Anyway these are some of my favorite pictures of her. I really like the one with her and my grandpa because he is smiling!!! ( a rare sight to see)

Denise

This picture is of one of my best friends Denise. She is currently serving in Iraq and will be home sometime in 2009. I know that this is not an old picture but I just got it and wanted to share it. She is the girl in the center of the picture. I am trying to get a box together os stuff to send her. Anybody got any ideas of what is good to send?

I need a name!!!

I am going to open an Esty shop (yep just like my mom) but I need a name for it. Anyone have any ideas??
