You'll never find your contact in this grass. We're going back to the convention. I'm not giving up my chance for the Best Dressed award.

    If he does get the award it looks like he'll have to share it with the other two!

    I think the guy with the red backpack will win. It just makes the whole outfit pop.

    Or maybe it was the best "dress" award.

The Best Beans

On Easter morning, we awoke to overflowing baskets. The Bunny knows us well, so our loot included plenty of jelly beans. Not ordinary jelly beans, but Jelly Belly beans. The Jelly Belly history dates back to 1869 when the Goelitz brothers came to the US and started a candy factory. But it was almost one hundred years before they began to produce jelly beans. Ronald Reagan became a fan while he was Governor of California and they traveled with him to the White House. The blueberry Jelly Belly was created so that Reagan could serve red, white and blue jelly beans at his inaugural parties. Jelly Belly also holds the honor of being the first jelly bean in outer space. These quality jelly beans come in a wide variety of flavors. One category, the Harry Potter inspired BeanBoozled, includes Toothpaste, Dog Food, Rotten Egg and Skunk Spray flavored beans. I'm not that adventurous, but there are plenty of other flavors to choose from. If you haven't guessed by now, Grandma...

Dear Grandma, You are one of the most outstanding people I have ever known. Still, I wondered if you've ever looked back on your life and had any regrets. I hope to learn from your wisdom and experience. Respectfully, Young and Foolish Dear Y and F, You may be less foolish than you think.  Your  letter certainly shows a great deal of insight. Congratulations on being so perceptive. I've given this question all the thought it deserves and you'll find a complete list below: I regret I didn't start this advice column earlier in life. This is so easy. And think of all the folks I could have inspired. That about sums it up.  But if anything else comes to me, I'll be sure to  hide it  let you know. Your humble role model, Grandma is delighted to be a participant in the Thursday Thirteen meme. You should check it out. Get the Thursday Thirteen code here! The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a ...

Once Is Not Enough

Some things are so pleasurable that they deserve to be repeated. Here are 13 things that I've done more than once or would like to do again. Watch the sunset at Lake Ontario. The sky becomes saturated with a million shades of pink as the fiery sun glides into the water. A walk along the water's edge would be a fine companion to this visual pleasure. Hear my father's laugh again. He was known for a delightful sense of humor and his laughter was strong and melodic. Some days I yearn to hear it just one more time. Sip a good cup of coffee while I sit at my computer. This morning ritual never grows old. Enjoy my daughter's childhood. It was such a joy to watch her grow. And yes, trite as it sounds, it happened all too fast. Catch a Frisbee. I was never the athletic type, but one day I was with some friends who were throwing a Frisbee in the park. It sailed towards me, too far above my head to catch. Without thinking, I flew into the air, extended my fingers and th...
