Random thoughts

I was watching a show on PBS Create, my favorite station, and they were teaching low-income children how to cook among other things. After preparing a meal, they would sit at a table that they had set, with a mixed group of people eating this meal they had prepared. One girl who was perhaps 10 was talking about preparing the meal and she said "whoopin' cream". It stuck with me. She did an excellent job of whoopin' the cream. I imagine she had been "whooped" a time or two herself.
The many lessons that are learned in the kitchen, at the table will stay with you throughout your life. I know they have for me.

Went up to HyVee this morning for our Flu shot. Now we have 40 cents off our next fill up of gas. We followed this up with a trip to the courthouse to vote. In Iowa, they have shortened the number of days you can vote early so we cannot vote in the Mid-terms until October 8th. We will be there bright and early with bells on October 8th!

Worth Pondering

“A desire to be in charge of our own lives, a need for control, is born in each of us. It is essential to our mental health, and our success, that we take control.” —Robert Foster Bennett
