Tony the Tiger

So here he is Tony Tiger. He was quite a hit with the kids. Tony kicked up his heels, wove back and forth across the street giving high 5's, and hugged all his fans along the way. Afterwards he took a nap.

A Challenge

I am starting a new journaling technique and I would like to challenge anyone out there to join me. I am writing down the answer to this question: What five seemingly insignificant little things made me happy today? I'll give you one of mine: Putting on a pair of black knit gloves with gripper spots on the palms. Get the drift? Really little things that give you a happy feeling. Let me know what you come up with if you don't mind sharing a thing or two.

Homecoming

Today is Homecoming so we have to participate with our LandMark Realty entry, right? The theme was commercials which is pretty broad. We chose Kellogs Frosted Flakes. I kinda volunteered to be Tony the Tiger which pert near killed me. We just got back and I am drenched with sweat. Who knew Tony had to race up and down the street, back and forth, giving high fives, doing little acrobatic stunts all the while roaring "Quarriers are gggggreat!" All I'm sayin' is, you try doing that for 6 blocks sometime. In a tiger costume.

I'm buying a cow

Today I went to the store to buy milk because Tuesday is "cheap" milk day. I grabbed a gallon jug and headed for the checkouts. "$4.56" she requested. After clutching at my chest and staggering around she informed me I had Land O' Lakes milk, which was not on sale. So after making the switch to the store brand, my milk only cost me $3.57. Is that not outrageous? I wonder how much of that goes to the farmer???????? maybe .50 cents? Somebody once said there's 2 cents worth of corn in a box of Corn Flakes. It's crazy.
