worldly

I have taken a gastronomic world tour 

    I don't know if that is a word....gastronomic....but I am using it.  It is not underlined in red, so I think I am correct.

    Well, not quite a world tour.

    We had Italian beef Monday and pizza,  accompanied by a great Italian wine, last night.  I thought it might have been one Julia left behind, but she said she bought 2bottles for me.  I have 1 left.

    Tonight we had Chinese.  Julia ate out with a friend in DeKalb and brought some Yen Chens for us.  

    Last Monday I had some wine from Switzerland.  

    And tonight I am having a Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

    Four countries contributed to my gut this week.

    I bought some tree feeder spikes.  Directions say to pound into the ground, but do it after a rain when the ground is soft.

    Well.... I did not do that and I tell you, it was hard as hell!

    I gave up after 3 trees.  I have 11 more to do. 

    We got a little rain today, but I don't think it is enough to soften the ground.  So I will grab a huge tent stake and make a pilot hole with that.  If I get them started, I am sure they will go in.

    I got out the ladder to check out my security light.  Sure enough, I did not put the bulb in tight enough.  As soon as I tightened it, the light came on.

    Once upon a time a young fifth grader came up toe me and asked, "Mr. Dickow.  What is the difference between a pregnant lady and a burned out light bulb?"

    I admitted I did not know.

    "You can unscrew the lightbulb," he said.

    I told him not to repeat the joke.

    Silently, I did laugh.

Peace and Love
