I declare the Bug War officially over
I am not a wasteful person, but I did throw a lot of stuff out today.
You have to know, I am an impulse buyer.
That is why I bought a shoo fly pie kit while up in Amish country.
All I have to do is preheat the oven, pour one bottle into a pie dish, pour the pouch into the pie dish and stir. Pop it in the over and wait.
I decided last night to make it today.
When I opened it the pouch had exploded inside the box! Something gooey was all over the inside, so I pitched it.
Then I realized I have not been to Amish country in several years. I could not find a best use date on the box, so that was no help.
I picked up an unopened 1 lb. box of spaghetti. I know the little bugs like grains, so when I turned it over to look, sawdust fell out of one end of the box. Into the trash.
Beth's container of treats? Buggy. Tossed.
But I just looked around carefully and saw no bugs. None. Zilch.
So I am calling it a victory.
I just hope the little suckers agree.
Friend Nadine and I made our annual trip to Amboy today to buy raffle tickets.
Maybe it is just me, but I honestly think the lady at city hall remembers us.
Anyway, I also got some for Linda and Dan.
Amboy started this drawing years ago. The first year I think it gave $600 to the winner and $600 to the museum. Over the years it has grown in pot and popularity.
Last year the winner took home somewhere around $130,000.
The money is used for all sorts of projects that benefit the residents and the museum.
Our museum is in its third year of a 50/50 drawing, I think. Our prize last year was a bit over $600.
I have tickets....$1 for 1, $5 for 6, $20 for 24. Plus, you get one year of museum membership if you buy the $20 pack.
And if you buy the $20 pack directly from me, I will treat you to a drink at Cypress House.
And yes, Jen I owe you 2, SK I owe you 2 and Ken I owe you 1.
Let's get together and sip!!!
Peace and Love
Especially Peace
