Breakfast Special

We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "Seniors' Special" was two eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast for $2.99.

"Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want any eggs."

"Then, I'll have to charge you $3.49 because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.

"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked incredulously.

"Yes!" stated the waitress.

"I'll take the special then." my wife said.

"How do you want your eggs?" the waitress asked.

"Raw and in the shell," my wife replied. She took the two eggs home.

DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!

Pink Saturday - Jenna's Driving!

Beverly at how sweet the sound hosts Pink Saturday. Stop by her place to see the many other pink items people are sharing.









My granddaughter, Jenna, telephoned and asked me to take her to practice her driving. She's fifteen years old and has her Learner's Permit. I asked her to wear something pink so that I could take a Pink Saturday picture. She struck a pose in her pretty pink shirt.

Notice the pretty pink pearls? That's a vintage necklace from my jewelry box. Jenna borrowed them from me several years ago. I told her she could borrow them as long as she wanted, but truthfully, I never thought she'd want them this long! Don't they look pretty around her neck? It pleases me that she like some of the same things I like.

Although she's only been out practicing her driving five other times, Jenna is already a good driver. She keeps both hands on the wheel and makes excellent turns. She drove smoothly and hardly jerked at all.

At the end of our time together, Jenna said that she loves to drive and was still raring to go, but I was stick-a-fork-in-me-I'm-done! I hope she telephones me for another driving practice time together.



Happy Pink Saturday!

Booking Through Thursday - Autumn Reading

Autumn is starting (here in the US, anyway) and kids are heading back to school. Does the changing season change your reading habits? Less time? More?

Are you just in the mood for different kinds of books than you were over the summer?

The change of seasons do call for a change in my reading habits. When I was still in the classroom, this time of year was so hectic that I couldn't find a spare minute to read for pleasure, although I sure read plenty for work. Now that I'm retired, I am enjoying the luxury of spending a chunk of time reading each day. Therefore, this Autumn presents no change in time allotment for me.

This past summer, I wanted to read what I call "froo-froo" books--sugar candy for the brain. Summer seems to call for a more playful read. However, I'm in the mood for intriguing mysteries now.

Do the change of seasons affect your reading habits?
