Good morrow mine waltripians,
I checked on Debra Sue Maffets biography, and it says she was from Cut N Shoot and graduated from Waltrip in 1975. Further states she was in the Imperial Guard...and that she was Miss America 1983...thats it...I do hope she has fared well beyond her celebrity status...Miss Americas do help carry on good deeds and works of a lot of charity organizations...which goes without saying...even though I said it...so, just disregard what I said, unless you dont want to, of course...moving right along...
I have misplaced a baggie full of SD cards some 2 gig to 6 gig memory...I told dw and showed her where I was putting them, saying, "this will be a great place for these cards"...I was right, it was so great, I cant find them now, and DW cant remember where either...I just know none of youse out there have ever done that...right???? I reallly need them too, because some go to the game cameras at the ranch, plus other stuff...sometimes, I just outsmart myself...
Like making breakfast...using a cast iron skillet, takes really a lot of skill, at least for me...almost everything sticks in it...like the pancakes I cooked on them this morn...just made a mess of them, so much that I had to make new batter and use a non stick skillet...you just have to know what you are doing...my mom, and of course all the women in the families and their predesessors, were masters at using any danged pot or pan, including the iron skillet...of course they also used about an inch of bacon grease in everything they cooked in, so not much would stick, if anything...I also have a more healthy respect for their physical strength as well as their mental strength...any of youse youtes use iron skillets anymore?????
I have a 10 inch and an 8 inch and a long two burner griddle...I'm here to tell you, those things are heavy, especially when you are holding one in your left hand and transferring the goodies into a serving dish, and or washing it...our moms and grandmothers and beyond, sure endured a lot, God Bless em!!!!
I remember when my mom got new "Club Aluminum" pots and pans set...sure was a lot lighter...in fact, she still has most all her old pots and pans...dont think she has gotten any new pans in 50 years...I guess thats where I get my "make do" attitude from...Diane and I have pretty much all the things we started with 28 years ago...we have added a new cuisinart pot set just recently, and a few new other utensils, but have kept the old stuff...hard to get rid of useful things...guess thats part of our clutter problem, not discarding duplicate items...I just know, no one else has that problem, right????
I found at the dollar general store on 43rd right across from K rogers, an old brand of a lavender soap...since we were talking about lavender fields a while back...this is an old smell, or a smell I remember from my youte...at my grandmothers house and our house...just made everything so homey and felt so good...smell, for me, is a larger part of my memory system than any visual memory, even though I am a visual person...walking the boys, sometimes I can smell folks cooking breakfast, bacon, pancakes, etc, and supper, chicken fried steak and other great oderiferous fare...and just for a monent, float on the smell, back to our DuBarry Days, or DeMilo, or as far back as Little Rock, Ark of the late 40's...
Every now and then, traveling down washington ave and other streets where a lot of eateries are, the smells of hotdogs popcorn, peanuts and coffee, steak and chicken and onions etc and other delectable smells, transport me back to the smells downtown that emanated from the L C cafeteria, and Normandy cafeteria and Walgreens and Woolworths, and all the othe eateries, as well as the diesel from the busses and trucks blended in...which brings me to a dream last night...I dreamed we lived next door to Woolworths downtown in a town house, and I worked at the store that took woolworths place...I asked someone in my dream when Woolworths closed, and they said 17 years ago...dont have a clue where all that came from...havent thought of F W Woolworths in a while...at least I am employed in my dreams...wonder how much they are paying me...maybe I'll find out tonight...if anyone else is looking for work, I will see if we need any help there...I dont know what I do there yet, but I'm sure it cant be too hard...probably dont have to have algebra or latin...
Guess I will sign off for tonight and join Catahoula Jack and Cooper, and Big Oliver and all the other critters, that are now sound asleep...Jack and Oliver are asleep butt to butt and touching, on the couch upstairs...cooper hogging the couch downstairs...Katy in the wingback by the fireplace...Lacy on our bed, waiting for us to tuck her in...peaches is probably in the laundry basket, annie-bob in the basket on the dinning room table, and Sammy...well, Sammy is the gray ghost, and no telling where he is...probably under our bed...get close to one of the cats, and you can hear and feel them purring...hopefully thats where I will be, purring and asleep...
Keep the sun at your six and ride boldly ride...
your friend from yesteryear and today...olbeauwannkanobie
