I received a surprise in the mail today.  Ohhhhhh, I love surprises!  Marvin comes back from the mail box and says, "Who do you know in Texas?"

Ummm...George W. Bush?  Ummm ... no, he wouldn't send me anything.  Wait a minute, Marvin; I'm thinking...

So, I finally give up and open the card.  Inside is a beautiful bookmark with a baby Pug on it.  It looks like my Hop-Sing when we was a tiny pupster.  I love it.  I love it.  I love it.  I love Twirl.

Thank you, Twirlie Girl...you made my day.

Twirl you're the best!  Lee came in today asking (like Marvin did) "So who do you know in Texas"?  Right away I knew it was from Twirl and of course it was.

A big package of wildflower seeds...I just have to find a good spot.  Thanks twirl....you're very special and very sweet.

i  recieved  a  parcel  yesterday morning  from  our  friend  twirl :yahoo;.

i  must  tell  IHD  what  a  friend  our  twirl  is,

there  was  a  greeting  card  in  the  parcel  that  reads  as  follows

"your  such  a good  friend  that  if  i  ever  50  million  in  the  lottery

 i'd  let  you  help  me  hold  up  that  gigantic  cardboard  check

when  they  show  me  on  tv.

LOL U 2

As for lottery tickets be very careful.

Karen had me pick up a pick 6.  Now if i could do life over i would have had the computer pick random numbers.
As it is we sat down and picked 6 numbers out of 50.  This was a few years ago.  I am now afraid not to play these numbers every month.  For im sure the week i dont buy them they will be picked.  It is an evil thing we did..

Thanks Twirl. I love it.

Fhark week is next weekkkkkk?????? I have not heard a word here ---
I watched part of Jaws 2 today and what a crock of crap -- nothing real about it ---

eat the rotel with chips
grits are good with cheese and butter and pepper - I never use salt --
some people use grits with shrimp --? I don't get that>>>>>>
or better yet, melt velvetta cheese and add the rotel for a chili conqueso dip---
you will be saying "Ya'll and Howdy" in no time

Grits?  Palenta?  Pretty much the same.

Rotel... don't waste it.

Brown pork chops in a little olive oil with tad of flour.
Cover with gobs ot sliced onions and top with rotel.
Cook a long  time and eat with fried beans and white tortillas.


if you have any left over for tomorrow add some crawdad or armadillo meat.

OK, what is rotel? My first thought was a roach motel, but that is wrong

Haven't seen anything advertised yet on TV about Shark Week and they usually do it big.

I also have no clue what to send Twirl.

rotel is a can of tomato and peppers with spices... (mexican type spice)   comes in mild, regular and hot.


most often put in melted velveta cheese and served with tortilla chips... (easy chili  con queso)
