An ODD Assortment

Geez, Louise!  I was over at Terrie's and she had a link to find out how much your blog is worth......mine was $9,597.18!!   I am very amazed!  But what does this actually mean?  Is somebody buying?

Oh, well....here's a wonderful little tip I learned and tried.  Friend of ours house smelt SO good when we were over there.....even though they smoke.  I asked about it.  She buys Arm & Hammer Carpet & Room Oder Eliminator and instead of putting on the carpet, she puts a thin layer in the bottom of each ash tray.  So I bought me some and did the same.  Sprinkled some in bottom of my trash cans.  Had the idea that you could layer it in a pretty glass bowl with rocks or marbles and set in room like potpourri!

I love my new part time job.....but every since the storm it has been a little more hours than I truly wanted.  Looks like this week may end up being like it should be.  I hope so!  I only just Tuesday caught up on all the laundry since the storm!  And I had everything washed up before it hit. 

Seems like there was something else I wanted to tell you, but I can't recall what it was.  Oh, well.  That's my brain! 

Oh, Bubba killed a spike buck opening weekend of deer season!  Proud for him.  Everyone of course enjoying the treat of deer meat. 

Guess that's it.  Wonder if this entry has decreased the value of my journal????!   I'd better go check. 

Oh, now I know what it was!  Paula had mentioned The Pig Stand Restaruants some time back.  Well, is one on Calder in Beaumont.  It is a wonderful place.  Mixture of buger joint, cafe, truck stop.  You can sit outside if you please, like at the older burger stands.  The semi-circle shape of the building harkens you to a time when folks would drive up, get a coke or malted and sit and stand around outside on a cool evening and talk.  The tables and booths, the menus, the waitresses all put you in mind of an old time cafe.  A place where people could gather to sip their coffee, read the paper and swap yarns.  And the food!  The delicious taste and super large portions would rival any truck stop you can think of.  Unless you are very hungry, think of splitting your order with a friend or mate.  The walls on the inside are full of memoribilia from bygone eras....schools that are no more; cars that you never see on the road, only at shows.  And what has to be the one of the largest collections of ceramic pigs I have ever seen!  Anyway, they are celebrating their 84th year of business this week!!!!  What a milestone!  So few businesses can say that.  And even fewer restaruants! 

I'm so glad I remembered what I wanted to tell you!  Like my pc, my brain still works.....the processor is just getting old, there never seems to be enough RAM and the disc is nearly full!  :o)

  1. LMBO @ " wonder if this entry had secreased the value" funny.  I certainly dont think so.  And I think each of our blogs are priceless.  I am thinking how the "value" for that site is tabulated is by how many links you have in your blog and entries.. you know like you give free adversiesment out.  But I could be wrong about that.

  3. Glad Bubba got his spike, I know that really thrilled him. Glad you like your job but sorry there are more hours that you wanted. I used to use all the smell good stuff but the last few years my allergies/sinus problems have got so bad I had to quit using them. Wish someone would offer to give me what the blog thingy says mine is worth. It says it's worth $12,984.42. I would pay off these Dr. bills that have run up from Ken's eye surgeries. I could always start another one. LOL.
    have a good evening. Helen

  5. Hi Barbara!  What is your part time job? I looked back to see if you had a story on it, nope.  Must have something to do with perfume????

    In one of the journals, sorry can't remember which one, a guy had a deer come through the window into his bedroom.  He wrestled it - took a break to shout call 911-then went right back and wrestled it some more!  Now the bedroom is a mess, but yep they have deer in their freezer too!

    PS.  My little bottle of purple juice will help you!     BIG :)

  9. Hi Barbara!

    My journal is worth "o" according to that link.  And it's going to get worse, because I can't get my save button to work.  Any ideas?  "Help" button didn't help!  LOL
