Texas weather for Thanksgiving !

People have always said "If you dont like the weather in Texas just wait and it will change " . How true this Thanksgiving Day . Starting the day in the 80s and by night fall it will be in the low 40s . Overnite it will be in the 30s and the next day in the 40s all day and Friday nite in the low 30s ! Now it is in the 80s and very hot and humid outside . I have tomatoe plants putting out tomatoes and 2 eggplants that are loaded with eggplant ! This all means I need to breakout the veggie blankets and cover my plants . Oh well its almost winter and we usually have light winters so we have nothing to yell about in a sub tropical area like the Gulf Coast of Texas !

Have I told you how much I love Potato Salad ?

I love Potato salad ! There I said it ! Now I cant ask the question have I told you how much I love Potato Salad ! I make a mean Potato Salad ! New potatos, mayo, a little mustard, onions, and celery,pimientos and chopped up hard boiled eggs and then top it off with sweet relish !! Iput it in the frig and let it rest till tomorrow ! Then I can snack on it for a couple of days and just fill my heart with Happiness and my belly with Potato Salad ! I just love the stuff ! Its what life is all about bringing happiness to yourself ! Potato Salad rings my bell !! So there it is !!

Happy Holidays are here !!

The Holiday season is here !Friends are in town for Thanksgiving a week early and its great ! Lots of food to eat ! They are from Florida and dont get good Mexican food there or good ole Texas BBQ ! On the east coast its pork BBQ and not beef which is wonderful too ! There is only for people who have lived in Texas and had Texas BBQ only one BBQ that sticks in their minds and thats Beef BBQ and my Florida friends put their order in before they got on the plane ! So this week it is BBQ and great Mexican food ! I have been around the world and Houston has to have the best all around resturants than anywhere else in the world ! Im always happy to get back home and eat some great food ! Having a great meal during the Holidays with family and friends is such a great time of shareing good food and love ! Next week its Thanksgiving and our house is going to be full of sweet aromas of food and love ! I cant wait ! We are so blessed to live in freedom with food to eat ! We should be thankful for all our blessings small or large to be living in freedom in the good old USA !!

Things that try to disrupt my happiness !!

Stupid people who are followers and not leaders but think they are smart ! These people are trying to disrupt my happiness ! Some dont want to go through the airport patdown ! Let them go home and not fly ! I want to be safe ! There are alot of stupid people who want to kill us ! People listen to to many Radio shows that excite them to be radical and follow what is said ! Democrats and Republicans are all nuts ! In Houston this month there was on the ballot Red Light Cameras for or against ! Well people run red lights everyday and kill people and ruin lives ! People voted to take the cameras down and put there lives at stake ! In this time in the world people are crazy stupid ! We were in Europe not long ago and people there would ask what was wrong with the American people and why we voted in Stupid people and were messing up the entire world with our crazy stupid ways !!I could only agree and say I didnt vote for these things they were speaking of ! I dont listen to the crap on the Radio and TV !I have a brain that I can make my own mind up about thing that are important to our lives but I am out numbered by stupid people who have no brains !These people are messing with my happiness and ruining the world and it will never be the same again ! Sad to say im glad im old and dont have a lot of years left to see what we are going to see in the future ! Our poor Children ! They dont want to tax the millionares but want to cut social security ! Some old people dont have a/c or heat to stay warm ! Some dont have food to eat But we can spend billions on war ! What is going on in this country with our values and morals ! I have to put my trust in God and block out all this crap and refuse to give up my happiness !

Giving is receiving !

When I was a child my Dad started a grocery store in 1951. I was in the 1st grade ! There were alot of people in our neighborhood who were very poor ! My dad would give them credit . Most everyone would try to pay him back but some could not . At Christmas Dad would just tell them it was their present ! He taught me to give ! His kindness to those people was not forgot ! Sometimes years later people would come and pay him after their lives got better ! Our grocery business only got better with his kindness ! He fed alot of people and never looked back for a pat on the back ! He taught me how to give ! He was a good man ! He died when I was 16 and I ran the grocery store with the help of my aunt and Uncle when I was at school ! I ran that store till I was 18 and followed his path of giving and we prospered !I loved the grocery business but it was very confining and I wanted to get into radio broadcasting so I leased out the business ! What my Dad taught me about giving stays with me today so I give to the food banks meals on wheels program ! Giving to people that we see need help in our lives that are having trouble in their lives ! We do it so they only know that its a gift from God !!Giving is receiving ! It warms your heart ! In this time of need in our country giving is so needed now more than ever . Giving to the food bank is a place to help people in need ! I know it would make my Dad very happy !!

Fruit ! Oh how I love fruit !!

I was raised in a grocery store ! My Dad was such a great Dad ! He would go to the market every morning and buy great fruit and when I would get home from school he would say go check out the cooler ! There would be a case of grapes or plums or maybe a big box of beautiful apples !! What a treat ! One day I came home and put my apron on and went into the cooler in our store and there was a case of beautiful strawberries ! My dad said to get some to take home that he bought them mainly for me and my Mom ! What a loving caring Dad he was and I really miss him !I had a good dad for sure ! He knew how much I loved fruit and he fixed me up !! One summer he told me that this guy was going to build a 20x20 shed outside the store and for me to make sure it was built in the right place outside ! Much to my surprise the guy built it ,painted it and made a sign that said "Chucks Watermelons " the next day I came home from school and there were 300 watermelons under the shed !He said I could sell them for $2.each and keep a dollar for myself ! I made a lot of money that summer and ate a lot of watermelon too !! Fruit makes me happy ! Its good time for fruit around Christmas ! Good apples and Oranges ! There are even great Strawberries and blueberries ! Remember what they say " an apple a day will keep the Docror away " Have fun and enjoy !

Things that make you Happy !!

Things that make you happy ! Lets see what could make you happy . Sex ,ice cream , a comfortable pair of shoes , a great dinner there are so many things that could make us happy ! When we wake up each day we should focus on one thing that brings happiness to us and keep happiness alive in our minds and hearts all day long !! A great cup of coffee and the thought of the great life you have in freedom here in the good old USA ! You can be what you want to be and live anyway you want ! We have alot of things to be happy about ! They are endless so be happy and enjoy your life today and every day !!

Food the best thing you can do for yourself !!

The greatest thing a human being could ever do for him or her self ever is to eat well ! I see people deny themselves good food for different reasons ! If you like something like steak you should eat it but only in moderate amounts ! That goes for anything you want to eat ! Eat it and live well and dont deny yourself ! People dont eat good food for healthy reasons for years and dont live any longer than any one else ! Eat moderate amounts of any food and enjoy life and exercise too! People are really stupid and do what people tell them to do instead of what God gave them a brain for to take care of themselves ! Eat Be Happy and do what is good for you and not what someone tells you is right for you !! Dont make me have to tell you again !! Just kidding !! Have a great day and be happy !!
