Got a couple of lame jokes via email at work and I should have forwarded at least one them home, so I’d have something to post here….
Sprouting out of lawns everywhere are another indication that spring is here – For Sale signs. On our street, in the 1/4 mile to the stop sign, there are 3 houses for sale. Well, technically only two because when the realtor put up their sign at one house, it already had the cute SOLD banner across the top.

Here is my attempt – Brian’s Googlious Web Page.
Everyday when my wife packs up a lunch for me she includes 4-6 cookies for my morning snack.
My current favorite is Archway Iced Molasses Cookies, but I do rotate between a few different ones, so I don’t get burnt out on them. As a matter of fact this week we are having Oreo’s…
One of my all-time favorite morning snack cookies was Sunshine Co.’s Lemon Coolers. A few years ago they stopped showing up on the grocery store shelves, I figured it was just where I was shopping, but pretty soon it dawned on me you couldn’t get them anywhere. What happened was Sunshine Bakery was bought out by Keebler and those rat-bastard little elves in their hollow tree stopped making ’em.
While getting the links for yesterday’s Girl Scout cookie post, I noticed that one of the bakeries made something called a Lemon Cooler. Hot Dang! I started to formulate a plan to drive around to shopping centers this weekend and cornering the market on Lemon Cooler Girl Scout cookies. Of the four boxes Donna ordered, none were the coolers. As luck would have it though, the woman we bought our four from had a box that someone ordered but didn’t want. We didn’t have the $3.50 on us, but promised to gladly pay her Tuesday for a box today.
I ripped open the box and popped one of the half-moon shaped cookies into my mouth. Mmmm…wait a minute, they’re close, but not the same. Something was missing. I looked at the box and realized what it was, the fat. Right there on the front it says “Reduced Fat.”
Oh, well, on the bright side, I just saved a bunch of money.
Because I never did find another spot (I really didn’t look to hard) to do another year long series of shots like I did for Mr. Fletcher’s Ride, I have decided for 2006 just to take my camera every time we hike and once a month post the one I find most interesting of the bunch.
This morning we went for a nice long and somewhat muddy walk in the woods. I snapped a couple pictures of a familiar spot from a different angle and from those selected February’s entry. I then dug through my shots from a couple of January’s hikes and picked one to represent that month.
Last Saturday in front Publix on HHI we bought two boxes of Girl Scout cookies. The Samoas didn’t last the day, while at least some of the Do-Si-Dos made it home.
Today in front of Wal-Mart we bought another box of Samoas and they met the same fate as their brethren did last weekend.
Tomorrow Donna gets the 4 boxes she ordered from a co-worker. I know there is at least one box of Samoas and hopefully they will last at least until Tuesday.
