Follow the Sunbeams and random thoughts

Every morning I wait to see what the morning sun will highlight in my kitchen.

As I stood patiently waiting in the line at the grocery store, A very elderly man, much older than even ME, put three 12 packs of coke /soda on the belt. The cashier said these are on sale today buy 3 get one free.

He said I know, that is what I want to do. She said where is the one you want for free? you need a forth one.

He said "it's buy 3 get 1 free"

The cashier smiled and sent the bag boy to get the fourth one.

Chalk up one for the English Language  in the confusion column.

It made perfect sense when I was explaining it to Bob.

Buy 3 and get one free could mean, when you buy 3 one of them is free..

We were NOT in Wal-Mart and I wanted to say for the money you just spent you could have gotten 4 for 5 dollar less, any day of the week.

My Christmas Bouquet

Have you ever wondered......

Why people pay to go up in tall buildings, and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Why people say they “slept like a baby”, when babies normally wake up every two hours?

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

Thank you to my son David and his wife Deanna, for my beautiful Christmas flowers.

Vigna unguiculata

 Vigna unguiculata better known as Black Eye Peas 

High in protein, cholesterol free and zero trans fat.

We are having the peas today but only because it is easy and tasty and heart healthy....

I am from the South, we always had Ham, Black Eye Peas, Collard Greens on New Years Day.
Bob is from the North, they had Pork and Sauerkraut....


I don't believe in luck but I was lucky when I bought these peas...

I forgot to buy them and on New Years Eve I braved the traffic, drove round and round looking for  parking spot, with the intent of going in Dollar Tree where everything is a dollar, and next door to Publix for the peas.... as I stepped in the Dollar Tree, the first thing I saw was a big display of these Black Eye Peas...I KNEW I was still in the south.... and I was lucky I did not have to brave the Lines in Publix.. I bought the peas and went home.

do you have a specific food on New Years Day for luck? do you believe it works?
