Some Kind of Cupcake for Everyone

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner I’ve been looking for a unique gift to give to my mother on that day since I know my Dad will give her the same old box of chocolates that he gets from Walmart each year. I found a great site that has some pretty interesting varieties of cupcakes, they have something for everyone and I think I will send off for their cupcake sampler since variety is the spice of life and trying a variety is always a fun way to find your favorite(s).

I always buy my mother something on Valentine’s Day, it’s always best to keep on her good side.

What’s Up With That Wendy’s

I really like going to Wendy’s for their great burgers! And I like their baked potatoes. Their french fries are not as good as McDonald’s, but they are tolerable if they are hot and sprinkled with salt. I do wish they offered a salt substitute!

All that being said, I am not a fan of their restrooms! I have never been inside a Wendy’s restroom where there was a clean dry place to put a coat. In the winter time, I wear a coat that goes below my hips, and when I use the bathroom I like to take it off and put it on a hook. Wendy’s has neither, and I really don’t want to dump my coat on the floor or in the sink. The sinks are stand alone sinks with no counter space to put anything, so if I do put my coat in the sink it usually gets wet.

So, Wendy’s, hear my plea! Put hooks and shelves in the bathroom!

Save the Ham Bone

On a whim I stopped by the Honeybaked Ham store on the way home from work and bought a half a ham. It is huge – it weighs about 7 pounds. They say it is enough for 10 people, so it will last me a while. I love ham sandwiches and this ham is so delicious that you can eat it plain, on bread, or cooked up with the ham bone and beans to make ham soup.

The best ham I’ve ever had is a Honeybaked ham. Looks like this one will be just as good.

Family Festivities Moved Outside

We really couldn’t have asked for better weather on Thanksgiving day this year, 69 degrees is generally unheard of for this type of year. It was so nice out that at the last minute we decided to move all the festivities, including the massive dinner, outside. My folks have a great set up for events such as this, with a great porch, lined with their numerous gorgeous Adirondack chairs and Picnic Tables that they can utilize and enjoy all most all year round.

The kids played all most the entire time on the playground equipment that they always keep in top notch condition for the dozens of grandchildren, grandnephews and grandnieces that are always so appreciative of them providing for their entertainment when visiting. While the parents, or who ever else is in charge of supervising this crowd of youngsters can sit on various Park Benches that they have had strategically installed throughout the entire yard for people’s comfort.

Each year we seem to be having more kids attend these family dinners, so all of my parent’s work in making their place very family/kid friendly pays off time and time again. They really enjoy the little ones and they want to make sure that they are kept busy and kept safe during their visits.
