a tastee treat


Someone once said that they like the way something tasted.
So they ate more and more of it.

Well, If ya like the way something tastes,
(And, they say we taste with the tongue)
wouldn't it make sense that we would just
hold the food item in our mouths 
for as long as possible???

And maybe even spit it out - 
Without swallowing -
Like they do for wine tasting?
Just for the taste of it....


 ☝☝ I'm NOT suggesting that, either!☝☝
 ☟☟ And BTW - not my teeth! ☟☟

But, no, really -  we don't do that.


Because it's not really just about the taste.
And it's not really about the hunger.
Or nutritional value.

We just gobble it down.
Or eat it up.

As fast as humanly possible.
So fast, in fact,
we almost don't have a chance to taste it!

Back in The Day
A treat was just that - a treat....
Not an every day occurrence.

☟☟ Hi Mom! ☟☟
Maybe a couple of times a year -  people had "treats."
And they were REAL celebrations. Not just snacks.
Birthday, holidays, special get-togethers.... 
But not just having cakes around all day.... for crying out loud!

What's the occasion? No occasion!
 I just wanted to eat another cake.
That's the occasion.... not so occasional!

A couple of more reasons to be Thankful
This Holiday Season
A recipe for nice Stewed Squirrels
A real recipe from a real person's book

Or maybe try the Rabbit - Fried or Peppered!?
Your choice! Yikes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



A roof that doesn't leak (too much)
Food that doesn't suck (or bite us back)
People who care enough to try again
And love us through thick and thin...
Lots to be glad for this year!

Stay warm and dry and cozy 
And know that it's all good!

Happy ThanksGiving to You and Yours!

No actual squirrels or rabbits or moms 
were cooked used in the making of this post!

beep, beep!


It's that time of year, again.....
beep beep!

Time to be thankful,
and grateful for things like facing changes


Time to be glad we have time 
to make changes - both "Large and Small"

Something like 10,000 files 
and that was just the trash!
Time for a change around here!

A grandmotherly neighbor writes me a note:
Happy Holidays!  ♡♡♡

"Have a cookie, honey!"

She made them herself - 
using Tang
But really, they are made with Love!
♡♡♡♡

And it's the ❤Love❤
we want, after all!

But here's a hint:
The cookie can't love us back - 

So experience the Love, and leave the
substitutes - less to work off later!!

Unless it's a really, really good cookie!
(Just Kidding!)

Hope you are having a great holiday week!

Thanks again, Loretta
for letting me doodle along side of ya

(Loretta is a true pro - mine is just doodle)

Mine is fun, but just silly doodle. 
Kinda like how I've spent

of my life in the past year
up til this very day.

Hope your day is great!
And Healthy and Happy!
