Sunshine and Salvation . . .



  1. Dear Stiffie:

    I noticed you divided the oranges into two piles: one labelled yours and the other marked mine. How is it that the top layer of my oranges are the ones that were in the fridge a month ago?

    I wanted to thank you for replacing the standard bathroom scale with this electronic one. I stood on the analog scale last week, and the needle spun around so fast it flew off and stabbed Atticus in the butt.

    I have started my diet today too, Stiffie. Have you tried one of those Weight Watcher chocolate shakes? I had 18 of them before lunch. They are so good.

    Well the pictures you took today (of the oranges) unleashed sunshine in the kitchen. And as usual, it followed you around the rest of the day.

  4. that would be "throw"....

    gaw, can't even spell!!

  5. Wow...I think Pavlov would be very successful running tests on me as I look at these oranges ;)

    A Honeybell kind of diet!

  8. It must be happening all over the east coast.
    The attacks.
    You know.
    The dreaded scale monsters.
    I can't seem to fight back.
    Perhaps if we move to sunny Florida, where we would have to wear the dreaded....shhhhh, bathing suit as a weapon, we would win.

  9. Hi Leslie, silly me! I've visited your blog previously. You little guy is so cute!

  10. Oh, don't you love the citrus season!?

    Thanks for your funny comment. I'm still munching through my holiday treats. I'm rationing those babies!

  11. There is nothing better than this kind of sunshine!!!!

    on my vitamin C
    and especially low on vitamin R (Riepe humor)...
    now that I have virtually uploaded on these nutrients and wept into my napkin I can get on with my journaling habit...
    practicing for the Boo book...
