I think the Colonel would be rolling over in his grave if he knew how things were being run these days.

Mailboxes have come a long way since the 60’s. I’ve seen some very interesting and creative ones going down the road. Some people put a lot of time, effort and money into their mail boxes these days. I’ve never owned anything other the regular run of the mill mail box and have decided to start looking around for a nicer one for my use. There are several websites that have a great variety of mailboxes for sale so I’ll have plenty to choose from. I don’t want to spend a large amount of money, but I want a good looking one that is made with quality that will last a good long while and still maintain it’s attractiveness, while having all the correct and important information easy to read day or night.

Will see what I come up with in the next couple of weeks.

My brother and his wife have been busy with the remodeling of their house for the past several years. They started fixing the place up with the thought of putting it on the market, but since the market has dropped so low they don’t think that they would make any type of profit by selling it and have decided to keep it and keep fixing it up along the way.

The kitchen has had the majority of the work done to it. All new Large Appliances, a new Counter Top and a new floor have made a big difference. My sister-in-law has been doing a lot more cooking since all the work has been completed. They did most of their shopping for all that was needed online and have saved a good chunk of change by using sites like ShopWiki to their advantage. She already has her Christmas list started, the holidays will be coming up soon enough, heck the year is already half way done with. She has her eyes on many Other Assorted Kitchen guides that she plans on utilizing in her new kitchen and is planning on holding the family Christmas dinner at their place if things keep progressing nicely and in a timely fashion as they have been so far. I’m glad that things are working out for them and wish them luck in getting things all done in time for the holidays.

I’m glad to see that there are some pizza wars going on with the major pizza companies recently. There are good deals to be found out there now and I’m taking advantage of them every time I crave a pizza, which is a couple of times a week!

I will even make my self a small salad to go along with them, the doctor says that roughage is good for a man my age and I do enjoy fruits and vegetables more and more it seems the older I get, I guess that is a good thing.

For anyone interested in the recipe that I use, it is here for the taking, hope you enjoy.

• 1 Tb       Mustard
• 1 Tb       Mayo
• 1             Egg
• 1/2 Cup  Bread Crumbs
• 1/2 Tb    Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 Small   Onion (finely diced)
• 1 Lb Crab Meat (the real thing, not imitation)

Combine all ingredients, then salt and pepper to your individual taste. Make into patties and fry in deep hot oil until browned to taste. Enjoy with a nice cold beer!
