Good morning my beautiful forum family.
I cannot believe how fast the week has passed. Today is grocery shopping day with Margaret.. .and tomorrow is ADVENTURE/ROAD TRIP DAY!!!!
Since the US/July 4th holiday seems to be a much BIGGER SHINDIG than CANADA DAY... and the fact that their holiday is falling on a FRIDAY rather than a TUESDAY.... I sense some AMAZING picnic food HAPPENING.
Give me your BEST picnic or pot-luck recipes.... YES PLEASE!!!!
I am contributing a recipe from the old forum COOK-BOOK that was published a long time ago.
Potato and Ground Beef Gratin ( The source was : Pillsbury )

1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 Tbs butter or margarine
1 small onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
3 Tbs all-purpose flour

3 cups milk
3 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese (12 oz)
6 medium white potatoes (2 1/2 lb),
peeled, thinly sliced (6 cups)

2 In 10-inch skillet, cook beef, salt and pepper over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
3 Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion; cook about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir

My "blind" grand-fur-son.... GOTS a GUMBY..... HE gots a GUMBY.....
He is going to SLEW a GUMBY.
and the same rules apply to the destruction of stuffy's with SQUEAKIES as does puzzling.
For a refresher... of my semi- made-up word.
*slew (to slew) - present tense of verb also inclusive of "I am slewing... he is slewing... we are slewing".
*slewed- the completed task of slewing. The CONQUER there of. It's done... THE END.
*slewage- when involving a jigsaw puzzle... it is simply a name given to the state of a completed puzzle that is soon to head to the BOX it came in. When involving a stuffy that has been desecrated by a dog... it includes
all the innards. ( the pierced plastic squeaker.... the stuffying... and all the original body).
Consider this your pre-AUTUMN puzzle vocab update. HAHA.
It's going on 8 am.... I am about to leave for a long walk to Margaret's house.... that will be my exercise for the day... It's about 3 miles.... WE will leave from her house to the grocery store..... and... AND... I have already been in the lake this morning.

Gumby and Pokey were my favortie toyes as a kid. The rubber ones with wire inside. Love them.I liked Gumby and Pokey when I was little, but Snoopy has always been my fave
I used to bend their legs back n forth until the wire broke, then poke the wire through the rubber and pretend they had gotten in a bad accident.

CranberryArtworks ... If it makes you feel better... the dog has no eyes... and no teeth... So Gumby will simply be "slimed and sucked on".
Poor Dukey Madukey... He recently lost his second eye... and he uses stuffies for comfort.
Happy 4th of July. Guard your fingers and count them at the end of the day.
What on earth does that mean??? I am going on a road trip this morning... DO I need to be counting my toes too??Happy 4th of July. Guard your fingers and count them at the end of the day.
You don't want to know...
Happy 4th of July. Guard your fingers and count them at the end of the day.
Cranberry was referring to be careful if you're going to handle fireworks.
We used to enjoy "professional" fireworks displays after a baseball game or at the San Diego Bay.
Happy 4th of July, America!
