Eating bright colored things


The "No's" in your life can't argue with what the doctor says :-)
Recently I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high, I'd gained some weight,and I didn't feel so hot. My doctor said eating right doesn't have to be complicated and it would solve my physical problems. He said just think in colors... Fill your plate with bright colors... greens, yellows, reds, etc. I went right home and ate an entire bowl of many of those colors.... And sure enough, I felt better immediately. I never knew eating right could be so easy.

Friday night supper club


Many Friday nights we've gone out to dinner with our friends. Years ago it was with Lynn & Judy, but they now live in Walla Walla, WA and it's a bit hard to get together since our Lear jet is out for repairs. We now go with Dave & Donna U. Sometimes my sister Colleen comes along. She did this time. We go to a place in Midvale called the Last Outpost. This was a work party to discuss how Dave & Walt were going to weld the frame on the U's Airstream. Their frame developed a break on a recent trip to Yellowstone. They worked on it over the weekend and were able to fix it. The real test will be when it's taken out on the open road. It's the cutest thing ever so I hope the weld job does the trick.

Tomato tree

Did anyone have a lot of success with their tomato crop this year? Our was dismal. We so far have 10' high vines, with 2 red ones and 8 green ones. THAT's it?
Today we put together "General Bone E. Part" as part of our Halloween decorations. He'll be a bit chilly for a bit, but the slippers will keep his feet warm anyway. He's going to sit out side guarding the place. He's made up of PVC parts that just snap together - no glueing. That way he's easy enough to store.
