On the west end of 7300 South is a fairly sharp curve that, although well marked, vehicles miss the turn and end up going through the fences sometimes resulting in injuries and thoroughly messed up cars or trucks. It happens to vehicles coming from the east or from the south, who are ending up in pastures where animals are grazing which only compounds the problem. Animals in those pastures, risk being hit in the direct accident or possibly escaping out onto the road, compounding the problem and creating the opportunity for more accidents. We urge everyone to take care in making that curve. Please stay safe!!!

Ottesen Your chuckle for the week: Psychiatrist: "My fee will be $200 for today's session." Patient: "Why $200? All the other psychiatrists charge $100." Psychiatrist: "It's part of the treatment. It will help you to attach less importance to money and material things." It's hard to be without a kitchen! I still have the room, but it's in a real mess right now and so it seems like I don't have a kitchen. I'm in the process of re-doing the kitchen in my new "old". home and the latest project is laying a tile floor; So that meant that I was/ to remove anything that I thought I might need in the next few days until it was finished and ready to walk on again. It takes a lot of stuff to fix even a very simple meal and so I've had to go to Elizabeth's next door for some things that I have forgotten that I would need. My stove and fridge are in the living room and the toaster is in the bathroom. I have to have a toaster! I have the essentials out of the cupboard like peanutbutter, jam, catsup, a variety of utensils, dishware, glasses, etc. I wanted to cook some bacon the other morning so I took my electric fry pan and cooked it out in the shop. It worked out just fine. The smell of cooking bacon wafted through the yard-area! By the time you read this, I'm hoping that I will have it all put back together. The kitchen truly is the heart of the home. Because a wife and mother spend so much time there and because children always want to be close to mom, it is the most used room in a home. When I look back on my childhood many of my best memories are connected to our kitchen, my mom and the food that was prepared there. I got to thinking about this the other day: we tend to make meals too complicated. We had a family get together Sunday afternoon and I made a salad for the occasion. I wanted to try a new recipe and it called for 10 ingredients! It turned out good and my bowl was empty, but I don't remember any salad that my mom made that had 10 ingredients in it. You are probably tired of hearing me write about this, but we were, and still are, meat and potatoes people. When I was growing up I never heard of a taco, burrito, fettuccine alfredo, chicken enchilada, pizza, glazed pork chops, etc. If mom cooked a pork chop, that's what it was. If she baked a potato, that's what it was. We didn't have sour cream with chives. Butter, salt and pepper was all that we put on it. I don't remember a lot of casserole dishes with a bunch of in- gredients. If she cooked a nice steak, we didn't have mushroom sauce to dress it up. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy pizza and a crisp taco, but it's just that sometimes less is more. My grandson, Bryan got a bunch of baby chicks last week and it sounds like they are a hot item this spring. Local stores are selling them as fast as they come in. The people who work in the post office have probably enjoyed the chirp of these babies and they can get pretty noisy. One store gets 500 in on a Friday and by Monday or Tuesday they are all gone. I guess most city ordinances allow people to have up to 15 chickens in their back yard. I like to have chickens. We get the kind that lay the brown eggs. The eggs are big and they are good. I don't know what the difference is. I know there are some who won't eat a brown egg, but try 'em you may like 'em. | Hearthstone Manor Amenities I • Assisted Living Level One and Two C* ^ * by-BigArancTFarnzy" ©2009 Madingo LJ..C.
