I'm Gonna Be A GraaaaaandMa!

The proof is here - my grandbabys mommys blog

Just got back from good ol' East Texas. Gosh, for being a vast and forsaken countryside, they sure are proud of their real estate! Man, its pricey there...lol but not like the California pricey I was used to! Word on the street is, its the East/West coast kids diving inland for "cheap" homes after they've gone broke. Just a word to them: STOP IT! Wait til I find me a place before you drive up home prices! Either that or go somewhere I'm not interested in!

Thought for the day, from my twitter yesterday; I stopped in Dunkin Donuts for what else - a donut! And there they are selling DD coffee mugs - you may have seen the logo, "America Runs On Dunkin". Well, if thats the case, WHY are they stamped "made in China" on the bottom? Ahem - WRONG!

Wrong Wrong Wrong!

Buy American, unless absolutely unavoidable, buy American. Which leads me to question: Would you pay more for an American made item if a similar item were available at a lower cost, but made in another country?

Today is my dad's 92nd birthday! He is doing so well, considering the beating his body has taken over his lifetime. I keep saying, when the end of the world comes, there'll be cockroaches...and my dad!

And speaking of dad, and the pending baby, we're thinking of moving to Texas, so that he can be nearer his first-ever greatgrandchild, which opens up all SORTS of confusing questions,like: Geepers, I just bought the house I'm in now, not even unpacked and I gotta move AGAIN? Good thing is...I'm not unpacked!

More on that later, gotta go have me a cuppa with the muffin I got at the dunkin yesterday.....
