HAPPY FRIDAY!

I hope you all are looking forward to a great weekend. I know I am. 2 of my sons will be coming over to remake my kitchen. Boy does it need it. Well, I’ll be taking pictures for you all to see the before and after… Friday’s are always good days in my book. The work week is once again finished and all the things I’ve been waiting to do all week will finally get done. Of course this weekend will be a little different, so maybe they’ll get done next weekend.

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY IS...JELLY BEAN DAY

Jelly candies (sugar and flavored water) have been putting smiles on the faces of kids for centuries - starting with the Romans. When penny candy was popular during the 1800's, gumdrops and jelly beans were the biggest sellers - and nothing replaced them in popularity until people fell in love with the chocolate bar. Blueberry jelly beans were invented so President Reagan could serve red, white and blue jelly beans at his inaugural ball.

He walks around a bit and sees that there is purple grass, purple birds and purple fruit on the purple trees. He's shocked when he finds that his skin is starting to turn purple too.

"Oh no!!" he says, "I think I've been marooned!!
