Best Burgers

Most lunches are a hamburger for me. I don’t even think about it much. I get hungry after I’ve been up about 4 or 5 hours and I want something to eat that is cheap, fast and filling. A hamburger does the job. French fries go great with the burger and so does a cold drink. I prefer Pepsi, but I’ll drink just about any soda out there – if it has bubbles, it’s good.

The best hamburgers around here from a drive through are served up at Backyard Burgers. They use real Angus beef and they grill the burgers over an open flames, not on a big greasy grill. Each burger is about 1/3 pound patty and standards toppings include a squirt of mustard, a slice of red onion, a slice of fresh tomato and a big leaf of lettuce. Good stuff and a bargain at four bucks.

Christmas Countdown

Here it is, almost Christmas. Have you got all your shopping done? The weather is bad – they are calling for snow again tonight and we already have the ground covered with the white stuff. The snow is going to mess up a lot of people’s plans for last minute shopping and for travel to go home and spend the holidays with relatives.

Be safe out there, my friends, and have a nice Christmas.

Moving Robins Stuff

I’m exhausted from helping Robin move yesterday and today. I’m getting too old for all this lifting and lugging of heavy boxes and furniture. I seriously feel like an old man today, can barely stand up straight and I’m walking really slow. But we got her moved out of the old place and everything was hauled up the stairs for her. Now she gets to have all the fun of unpacking the stuff. I’m done!

New baby

My baby sisters baby daughter had a baby this week and none of us were even told that she was expecting a baby. I know my family has aways been very tight lipped and that is to be expected in this day and time but she could of told us the Krista was expecting a baby, this is a very happy time in a big family like mine and I would of been very happy to help in any way I could. I can not wait to get back to Oklahoma to see my new niece it will be a great trip for sure.

Strep throat

The past week has been very rough for me I have had a bout of strep throat and it has knocked me down in a big pile. Just as soon as I feel a little better I try to work and I get sick again. Maybe I am allergic to work! I will have to bring that up on my next doctors visit, I bet he will not go for that theory. I have not been eating very much because it hurts to try and swallow. A very rough way to try and lose 10 pounds. I hope I have gone over the hump I have felt much better the last couple of days and have had no relapse so it off to work I go. No more soup for me for one year!
