Gross Spud

SATURDAY EVENING @ GROCERY STORE

Me: I don’t know what to get for a snack. NOTHING looks good. [Poor, poor me]

Barry: Just get the Idaho Spud. [As if it were the most logical choice]

Me: Yeah, I think the Spud is the way to go. Look, this is the candy bar that made Idaho famous.  [Is Idaho really famous?]

WEDNESDAY MORNING

Barry: When are you going to eat your Spud?

Me: Hands off the Spud! I’ll eat it when I’m ready.  [I proceed to worry about my Spud all day at work while Barry works from home. Spud survives the work day.]

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

Me: Spud is a dud. So gross. [Such a let down]

Barry: Oh, you are right, that is not good.

Moral of the story: Stay away from the Spud that made Idaho famous.

5 Things

 

1. This is a picture of our Australian home. Seriously, we lived in a car for a few months.

2. As you can see, I’m busy working in the “kitchen” getting dinner ready.

3. Please note the bottles of wine on top of the car. We bought a case of wine and kept a list of where we were each time we had a bottle. These bottles went down on the list as “The Town of 1770,” the name of the nearest town.

4. We walked into The Town of 1770  and passed at least 200 dead frogs on the road.  Barry made me stop counting.

5. Looking at this photo reminds me that happiness can be found anywhere – even in the back of a car with dead frogs stuck to the tires.
