Day 120 ~ The VA Clinic Lounge

VA Lounge Bookshelf

 When I went to the VA on Tuesday for my blood pressure check, I wandered over to the lounge. In it, they have a book shelf which patrons can borrow so I borrowed a Dorothy Sayers mystery, "Cloud of Witnesses." I am not sure when I'll have time to read it, but, hopefully, I will soon.

 This bookshelf was an Eagle project from 2002.  If the Boy Scout was 17 when he did his project, that would make him 28 years old now. I wonder if he knows his work still endures. God bless the Boy Scouts!

Snacks for Vets

 This bread was for the taking. I imagine it was donated by a thrift store or a routes salesman or even a supermarket. The last time I was here they had donuts but I guess the bread is healthier. I took a slice since there was an open loaf.

See you tomorrow.

Day 100 ~ Cherry Pie

Cherry Pie

My son Matthew likes the Table Talk Apple Pies so when I went to Shoprite the other day, he asked me to pick him up one.  Of course, they did not have it in stock but they did have Cherry Pie which, I reason, is close enough. Well, Matthew doesn't like Cherry Pie so he didn't eat.

I did.

See you tomorrow.

Day 71~ A Christmas gift, Almost Gone!

yummy cheeses and chocolate

 Seymour and Lynn, a very nice married couple  from our church sent this to us for Christmas. It's all almost gone now! We've been snacking non-stop since December 25th and I am kinda glad that most of the snacks are out of the house...I believe I gained back ten pounds for the holidays! Yikes!

cookies in the tin!

I think we took these cookies with us to share with friends when we went to their house. I really don't remember. I do know that we didn't eat it at home or at least, I didn't.

Now that all the excess snack food is our of the house, I can get back to some moderate eating!

See you tomorrow.
