Quote of the Day...

“You took my crumbs, you bastard!” This from Cora concerning the little Betty Crocker Warm Delights desert we were sharing. I might have accidentally scooped up a few of her crumbs…which technically did not make me deserving of her previous promise: "Touch my side and I will kill you." I want you to note that she did not say, “touch my side of the desert and I will hurt you” nor did she say “touch my side and you will regret it.” She went straight to defcon 1 and threatened my life for a bit of food. I might have been scared if I hadn’t been laughing. These Betty Crocker desert thingies have been wonderful! I can’t be mad, since the thing DID taste THAT good. I just thought all of you might get a kick out of Cora’s devotion to desert.

Coin A Praise

I used my metal detector at my in-laws. We went to check on Psycho Kitty (AKA: Gracie) and while Cora was inside, I searched the front yard. This is part of my effort to learn the intricacies of detecting and telling junk from coins. I found a Pepsi can. Oh, well. I continued and got another signal similar to the first. This one turned out to be a fifty cent piece. Yes, my second find was a fifty cent piece. Mel must have nothing better to do with his money then to throw it around outside. I did not search the entire yard, it was hot, so after finding a few pot metal fragments that may have once been a sprinkler (what is it about me and sprinklers), I went inside to cool off. Cora praised me, after much nagging (me nagging her for praise), for such a good find.

Here are a few pictures of my find.
