Got word today that my eldest grandson, Master Andrew, is doing marvelous in school. He has earned 4 – A’s, a B, and a C so far this year. It has not always been so for him. He also broke up with his very first girlfriend,
and has gotten himself a job. THAT BOY IS GROWING UP FAST.
Yesterday, while I was working at the doctor’s office, Tom bought a pellet stove for the shop. It came with one ton of pellets (supposedly free)… I think Tom said that is 50 bags. Joel helped him get it with his pickup. Tomorrow I work at the doctor’s again… I wonder what he will bring home this time???
Steve’s boy, Scott, is paying us a visit on Saturday, so we are delaying our Seattle trip for a couple of days. I got next week off work, at least I think I got it off. Jeff & Connie are stopping by on Sunday after Thanksgiving. Chris & Tiff are coming that Thanksgiving weekend too!
Steve is having a little fit as he couldn’t remember which part of the cow the ribeye steak comes from! He thinks he is getting senile. I say, “could be!!!”
I told him to get the Better Homes and Garden Cookbook… they have pictures in there.

Tell him, I just know its somewhere inside of the cow. Seems it should be where the rib meets the eye, but I don’t think that’s right.
I went to a hamburger place once that served burgers so big that as you walked in the front door there was a tank of cows and you got to pick the one you wanted. I said, “I’ll take the one with the big eyes”. Actually I’m becoming a vegetarian – I’ve stopped eating animal crackers. I’m satisfied at being a vegetarian-once-removed. What I mean by that is that most of the animals I eat are vegetarians. That must count for something, right?
Hurray, hurray!!! for Andrew! Congrats to him on the grades AND the job. (I’ll bet I wouldn’t recognize him if I saw him.) Have a nice visit with Scott; tell Tom to be careful of salesman and that the stove sounds cozy; tell Steve to mellow out and enjoy the steak (like ‘stop and smell the roses’ -kind of). Oh yeah, and my husband’s silly and you can ignore him if you’re not in the mood for jokes!!
Love and miss you guys.
