Family Visit

I'm on a little vacation down south. I took the bus to Kingston and spent a few days in Tivoli. Then it was in the King van and down to see baby Elliana get blessed. Now it's further south and even warmer.  I get to hang out with Olive and Curtiss. My first morning here I woke up to Olive asking me, "Aunt B are you thinking what I'm thinking? Pickles and Paskettios (Spaghettios) for breakfast."  How could I say no? I actually am a fan of Spaghettios, fresh out of the can not even cooked.

Funny little story

Here's a fun little story to make you laugh. My friend Kelly and I went to get some ice cream at the local "Way Cool" shop.  I placed my order first, asking for a "small soft serve vanilla in a regular cone."  The worker started to grab one of those triangle cones and I proceeded to tell her, "NO, the regular cone." I then went on a complete rant about regular cones versus triangle cones. I shared out loud for all to hear how dumb I think the triangle cones are. You get less ice cream, the tip gets soggy and the ice cream leaks out and ruins your clothes (I've had it happen). I told the worker that those were the "dumbest invention and are so stupid".  My friend then placed her order (she chose to order a dish of ice cream...I wonder why?) and I started finishing my thoughts. The worker wrote down the order and then immediately decided to close the window so she could no longer hear me and my rant about triangle cones. Which do you prefer...
