and ice cream. don’t forget the ice cream

And the endorsement contracts! Don’t forget those!!

Mom used to make bologna burgers for lunch sometimes, but with bread instead of rolls.

Fortune smiles, Reality riles…

They could play a game of Ping.

It can only be her eternal optimism that tells her it was the Sweet Mother of All Good Fortune smiling on her by gifting her with half a ping-pong table. If it were me, I’d figured it was the Ill-tempered Father of Disaster trying to play a practical joke by putting that thing in my path — but I’d be smart enough not to dragged the d@mned thing home.

One sort of wonders about the frequency of finding half ping-pong tables.

Smile Agnes, that is your better half

1/2 a ping pong table works fine if you put it up against a wall. Not without balls and paddles though.

She is a real dumpster diver. Wonder what she will become as an adult. With her imagination it should be interesting.

Someone once told me that none of the women he knew liked bologna, but all the men did. For sure, I do not, but there must be some women who do. Just now I am remembering a friend who would talk about how she and her family would drive to FL a couple times a year. It would take 2 days and she always made bologna sandwiches for the trip.
