Couple Of Things

Thing 1

Is anyone having trouble posting comments on my blog? If you are, then I may have fixed it, I don't know, we'll just have to try and see, okay? If you're filtering out 3rd party cookies, this may be why you can't post a comment, but if you use "anonymous" as your comment, it will let you post, but unless you give me some indication as to who you are, (username, whatever). I won't know.

So I apologize if you haven't been able to comment, but let's see if it's been fixed and try it out, please? Thanks!

Thing 2

A couple of days ago, Dondra and I were talking about something innocuous, when she suddenly stopped and said, "We forgot our re-marriage anniversary, Bill!"

Well, I didn't know whether to laugh or put on a sad face until she began laughing, and it reminded me of what I told her on one of our previously-married anniversaries....

I love you so much, I will never pull away from your cold feet!'

When I told her that, there was a cute little song by Michael Franks called "Popsicle Toes", and it became Bill and Dondra's unofficial song:



Okay, the other part of that promise will take some 'splainin'.

I have never minded eating the ass-end of a loaf of bread, because that is where the "filet" of the bread is as far as I'm concerned. But since my Dad brought us to the USA and I got to know peanut butter, I have developed my very own PB recipe. Here's what you do:

Make sure you get the ass end of one end of the bread an stick it and the next piece in the toaster.

Now if you wanna be a pig, you can reach down the sack and get the second
 ass end, but I don't recommend it, because that hand will render that whole loaf useless, coming out. Trust me, I know this for a fact, okay?

Oh! Forgot something. That ass-end is usually smaller so you'll have to turn it just right, so that when it pops out of the toaster, you can grab it. DO NOT go after it with a knife or a fork, or you and I will be taking harp lessons. If you can't grab it, unplug the toaster and THEN get it, but just know you've effed up the best PB sammich ever, because that piece of bread will be too cold to do what?

MELT THE PEANUT BUTTER on the bread!!!!

No kidding, y'all. A warm peanut butter on toast sammich, a cup of hot chocolate and Captain Kangaroo on the tv? It doesn't get any better than that in the cooling Autumn and Winter-Time.

Hope y'all have a great Autumn weekend.

D and I are hosting a small "Oktober Fest" party on Sunday, and we'll be sure to post pictures.

Did somebody say, "Peanut Butter????



Please don't forget the little ones who depend so much on us and our kindness.....

Okay?

Thanks!

Oooo. I LOVE warm peanut butter on toast. That is the closest thing to Heaven I can imagine. Oh, and I also love the ass-end of the bread loaf. The extra crust is what makes it good!

Hey Ann! Just had one of both. We slept in today and D fixed hot choco-lat and PB on toast on this chilly Georgia morning!

Thanks, Suzette!

My friend and dementia counsellor Suzette recently wrote a very informative (and flattering) article about the "German Boy" and his upcoming bike ride, and you may see it by clicking the title of this entry. I am very appreciative of her and the GA chapter of the Alzheimer's Association for supporting me, and my ride is dedicated to them, Alzheimer patients and their caregivers as well as the four-footers. Incidentally, D and I were finally able to attend this month's Forget Me Not luncheon (for Alzheimer's patients and their care givers) at South of La Paz Mexican restaurant in Atlanta and I'd like to thank my friend for making this possible. Really , Suzette's so sweet she makes ya wanna roll over and do all kinds of doggy tricks for her! I kid, of course, but I don't think I have ever met a more charismatic person in my life. It was also a pleasure to meet and converse with Kathy Simpson who also works with the Georgia chapter. Kathy and I have e-m...

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t...

Alzheimer's Advocacy Forum 2011

I have been given a great opportunity and honor from my local Alzheimer's Association and my counsellors Suzette and Kathy, and I wanted to tell y'all about it. It is a chance to be granted a scholarship to attend the Public Policy Forum/Advocacy Action Summit which will be May 15-17 2011 in Washington, DC. It will be a time to become educated about the issues, learn new skills, network with fellow advocates and take our message directly to members of Congress to fight for our legislative agenda and I am honored to have been chosen to have my name submitted for this event. If I am chosen to receive the scholarship, I plan not only to participate in all of the above events, but to serve as a "reporter" and write about what I see and experience there. This will also allow me to put to use my journalistic skills which have been "moth-balled" of late. Quoting from Karen Kauffman's* article, 2010 was a year of optimism for those of us in Alzheimer's Advo...
