The Kitchen Table

My new logo/motto

9 years ago

I saw this on Facebook and it so describes how I feel about turning 75. How did I get to 75 anyway. My brain doesn't that i am old and I refuse to act old. I know that my body is not trim and slim any more and I certainly can't do all the things I have done in the past but I' going to be like this little frog and go down fighting ..

LOL I love it, Ruthie and will be joining you in turning 75 come September.

What a cute encouragement card that would make for someone.

Don't feel so bad :)....I was just getting where I wouldn't bring home any MORE new stuff unless I knew what I wanted to do with it, or had a place to put it, or someone else who needed it..and oh,yeah,bring bags of stuff to donate...then my friend becomes a manager at one of my favorite getting places!!! Now I just figure I have to come up with even more ideas or imitations :P'''''... If gas prices weren't so high, I'd have WAY more junque than I do......(if I say "junque" instead of "junk"...does it make my stuff more classy??) Happy Junqueing Cherry P.S. I have to go back to Goodwill to find a punch bowl, my hyper dog just knocked over my glass birdbath and it fell on an old cast iron pump and the bowl smashed into a bajillion pieces. I never knew he could get that far on his tie out line, but he managed to reach out and knock it over. You think he did it on purpose??? LOL

This is a quote attributed to a number of different people, earliest by Hunter S. Thompson, Bill McKenna and a Maxine cartoon. Likely more. Here is a link that might be useful: Here are some examples.

I have never actually run into a real gardener who was selfish, rather the opposite. I have a neighbor friend who is the only real gardener (by which I mean personally hands on, and slightly obsessed) close to my house, and we are constantly giving each other plants - even though we both have the same problem, namely "no more space"! Large pots have been proliferating along the edges of our patios & driveways... Every time I try to root roses I have extras, but the most plants I seem to have to give away are Iris, every 4-5 years when I get around to separating them. I usually end up by throwing many of them on our green debris pile, where of course some of them root and grow happily! I have had some luck even with my non-gardening neighbors, getting them to get their "gardeners" to put in plants that are suitable to our climate, like Mediterranean bulbs like sparaxis, instead of tulips which do not return. I did notice that when we moved in and planted a large area (half a block long by about 10 feet wide) out by the street that had been gravel with ground cover roses, many of our neighbors' front gardens got a lot more planted and pretty over the next 12 months. It's catching! So, we can spread the joy of having pretty gardens by example sometimes, which is neat.

So, how you like my team logo photo from my front porch?

Sorry, Joe, if you are referring to you being a longhorn. I'm sure you have the respect deserving of any proud t.u. fan, but I've seen countless bad fans that show lack of decent upbringing. Also, being in the military I figure you to be an Aggie. TAMU has turned out more generals than any other school in this nation. The last game I attended at Kyle Field when we were playing t.u., many of the t.u. fans didn't even take their hats off for the National Anthem or the Pledge Of Allegiance, which makes my blood boil. At every game, there is a fly over by military pilots and they are introduced at halftime. The longhorn fans didn't even applaud for them...kind of ironic since the military men and women are the ones fighting for the right for them to act that way. I guess I just don't understand 'Austin' thinking...I guess that's why they have bumpers stickers that read, "Keep Austin Weird." Don't get me started. "TT" logo on my outhouse...how fitting. Kt

My old motto was "never turn down free food or money." I've just recently "sometimes good is good enough."

Cute!

I'm a couple of years behind you, but still a pre-war model. Don't you marvel at how much the world has changed? Whole centuries went by where almost nothing changed. (And it was a very harsh world for most.) Our mothers' worlds and ours have been 'warp speed'. Can it continue?

chisue, that's what I think too. Technology, just in my 68 yrs on earth, has been so overwhelming, it's unbelieveable!. I often wonder, after thinking back, just how the world will be, even say, 25 years from now!

Love the motto! I agree!!

Your logo reminds me of a news story I saw this morning:

A guy caught a fish, and when he went to remove the hook to let it go, he saw a frog in the the throat of the fish, which then blinked, and hopped out.

Awesome frog/fish picture Bob. And something worse than turning 75 is NOT turning 75! Live it up!

When you got your throat squeezed shut ...

... it's hard to swallow ...

.. but - even more worrisome, and sooner troublesome - you can't breathe!

Here's to breathing for a while longer ... and not being swallowed up, whether by storks, or pelicans ... or the worries of the day.
