I'M BAAAAACKKKKKK!!!!!
Today's things in a row are my brothers and Gman who were golfing in a tournament, along with our son (not pictured) to raise funds for Ninos de Mexico--children's orphanages in Mexico. Each of us sponsored a hole and as it turned out, the holes were close together, so the guys stood by their sponsor signs and Gman Jr took a picture. They did put the signs back on the correct holes when finished. :)

Mother of Invention Monday is a collection of things that I have found being used for purposes other than their intended purposes. Some are cute, some are great recycling ideas, some are downright bizarre and some are all of the above...you decide...
This past spring the Kampground here had a yard sale. Everyone was encouraged to bring their dreck and the surrounding populace was encouraged to come and cart something away.
Well, the day was drizzly and cold and as it turned out was also graduation weekend so it wasn't as successful as everyone hoped.
However, I found this...
I just could NOT leave it. I HAD to have it! It CALLED to me!
I had one of those stainless bag holders which had so many bags in it that it kept popping off the side of the cabinet and a plastic piece had also broken off and fled to parts unknown.
Plastic bags are a MUST when living in a 5th wheel with D-O-G-S! I carry them wherever I go to "do my duty after my dogs do theirs". :)
Recently while doing some remodeling in the Mother Ship (to be shown later), I came across it again and this is what happened...
I hung it on the side of the cabinet and lined it with a red and white dish towel loaded with farm animals woven through the end. I left the ends to flap over like Pug's ears...
Now I have a great holder for not only my plastic bags, but my paper sacks as well!
Just a little peek into my recent activities...
Yep--that is the living room under all that STUFF...
More later...
Just a bunch of thoughts that don't go together...
1) I am Psyched because Gman Jr is headed this direction next Friday!
It is his birthday and then he, Gman, his uncles and at least 1 cousin are golfing in a charity tournament on Saturday together. The tournament helps Nino de Mexico--a group of orphanages in Mexico.
I so look forward to seeing my little boy! :) He's a good man of whom I am proud!
2) I am Psyched because Psych is going to be starting soon. I love that show! :)
3) I am Psyched because I WON the scarf and headband lovingly made by MamaTea!!!! (and modeled in this picture by the infamous MamaTea!!!) It will keep me toasty this winter--which I HOPE is a LONG way away!
4) I am Psyched because of this forecast! If we make it through the hundreds today and nearly so tomorrow we are getting some rain (which we need) and look at the temps!!!!! Yay!!!!
Everyone have a great day! What has you Psyched????
Thursday's Things In A Row was started by Pat and it was so fun to see what she came up with, I took the invitation and joined her. Before long, I started to see rows in places that I had never paid attention to previously!
Today's things in a row are from the places Gman and I went to eat for his birthday.
These chairs beckon on the porch of Marlene's Restaurant. You can go in to eat from a menu or just get some ice cream and enjoy some time lounging on the porch. Gman says they have the BEST burgers in the area! I always enjoy Marlene's and there is even a museum!
Notice the Thermometer. And this is in the shade!
When we came back out, it was 100 humid degrees! In the shade...
That evening Gman chose Mexican. This is Ruiz Castillo. Look at the arches, lights and just in case you can also check out the stripes on the side of Jr. :)
Gman enjoyed his fare. I thought that the spices used were not to my liking. It seemed rather bland to me and I could have sworn I tasted basil in the beans along with some cilantro and chili powder. It was a rather strange combo. Perhaps I should have asked for some habanero sauce or something. I tend to gravitate to the more spicy fare of the Southwest Mexican food we enjoyed when we lived in New Mexico. We did have good service.
While there, a couple of men came in with a folder--apparently they were doing business of some sort. The first man ordered his meal and asked that they leave off the pico. Man 2 asked what pico was. Man 1--well it is kind of like this salsa here but bigger pieces and onion right? (to the waitress who I am not sure was totally fluent in English and when he asked again, she said, oh sure, right). Man 2--I'll have the fried chicken. Just cracked me up.
When we were seated I couldn't resist this shot of the chairs and silverware lined up just perfectly.
Then, a young man was seated there with his family. Suddenly he bumped his grandpa and said, "Wow! That is exactly identical to my other one, but different!" LOL
Gman enjoyed his lunch and dinner and his birthday.
Be sure to head over to Pat's to check out all othe other rows...
