WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target.

Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally
unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target.



Dear Mrs. Samuel,

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Samuel, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.


1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.


2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.


3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.


4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.


5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.


6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.


7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.


8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.


9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.


10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.


11.October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.


12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels..


13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'


14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'



And last, but not least:


15.. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.



Side note ~ this is NOT a true story.  However I am feeling thankful that Hubby doesn't read my blog much, because he does not like to shop and I have a feeling this would only give him ideas ☺!

Have a wonderful weekend!

More Vacation

So I gave you a glimpse of my view from our family vacation, but here is a better idea of what took place.

We rented a cabin on a 10,000 acre lake for a week.
We put the technology away.

Instead there was:

~ Tubing ~



~ Playing and Laughing ~



Fishing ~



But most importantly, we spent time together.

Next week at this time:

Their favorite breakfast will have been consumed.

Hair will have been done just right.

The "perfect" outfit will be on.

Their tummies might be a bit nervous.

They will be meeting new friends and welcoming back the old.

They will learn a new schedule.

Sit in a different room at a different desk with a new teacher.

1st grade

4th grade

ONLY
1 more week of summer.

I will be savoring  EVERY MOMENT (even these)!

Zucchini Bread

When my wonderful Mother in Law gave me some zucchini I knew right away one of the things I would be making would be zucchini bread.


 
YUMMY!

You need:

3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 ¼ cups white sugar
3 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts


 

All you have to do is:

1.  Preheat your oven to 325° then grease and flour two 8x4" pans.  (or just use nonstick cooking spray like
     I do☺)
2.  In a large bowl sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
3.  Beat eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar together in a large bowl.
4.  Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat well.
5.  Stir in the zucchini and nuts until well combined.  Then pour into prepared pans.
6.  Bake for 40-60 minutes ~ or until tester inserted i center comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 20 mins, then remove from pan and cool completely.

THIS IS DELICIOUS WARM!!


ENJOY!!!

School doesn't start back up for my kids until September 7th.

I am looking forward to less of this:
