   Sounds good for the leftovers, thanks.

   When my daughter was 3, she and her little playmate got into my car. It was a stick-shift and they accidently put it in neutral. The car rolled down the driveway across the street and into the empty field. The two of them were screaming. I was not angry. I was relieved that they weren’t hurt. No damage to the car and it was on a dead-end street, so there was no traffic to worry about.

   I got a new car in July 2022. That new car smell stayed for most of a year. Sometimes in the summer, I can still smell it. Maybe it will be gone by next summer.

   Too bad. They are getting a rest on the way back home. They can do those chores then.

   My oldest was a neatnick. His sister was a slob. When they got older and both married, only she had any kids. Then he said that her kids were the main reason that he and his wife would never have children. They didn’t behave much and were slobs just like she was. She is not much better now, but the kids turned out OK.

   I use and have saved those little “pocket calendars” since 1979. I have been going over them the last couple of weeks and so far, you are right. However, I am still keeping them. They don’t take up much room, just a small shoebox which isn’t even full yet. The shoebox sits in a desk drawer with room in it for other things. I still like to look at them one in a while but maybe one day, I will get rid of them, because no one else cares about any of the entries.

   I like green bean casserole. We only have it a couple of times a year, so no one gets tired of it. Of course, there are a lot of other foods to be eaten at those times, so if someone doesn’t want any, they have plenty of other options.

   I retired at 59 and did wear those comfy clothes most every day, but then I decided that they were not appropriate for when I go out waking, or to the store. Now I just wear them at home when I have lots of baking or cleaning to do. Then I will switch to my “going outside” clothes for whatever.

   My daughter would wipe her hands covered with mashed potatoes or liver sausage in her hair. I tried to keep her from doing that, but there were times that I forgot and missed the moment. That lasted for about two months when she finally decided to put the food in her mouth.

    I have found quite a bit of money in my family’s pockets. Mostly coins in the kids, folding money in my husband’s. It all went toward groceries. They ate a lot!
