Do You Remember This Comedienne?

 Phyllis Diller:

As your beauty fades, so will his eyesight. - Phyllis Diller    Housework can't kill you, but why take a chance?  - Phyllis Diller       Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the sidewalk before it stops snowing. -Phyllis Diller       The reason women don't play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit in public. - Phyllis Diller       Best way to get rid of kitchen odors:  Eat out. -Phyllis Diller       A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once. - Phyllis Diller       I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford.  Then I want to move in with them. -Phyllis Diller       Most children threaten at times to run away from home.  This is the only thing that keeps some parents going. -Phyllis Diller       Any time three New Yorkers Get into a cab without an argument, a bank has just been robbed. -Phyllis Diller       We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve years telling them to sit down and shut up. -Phyllis Diller       Burt Reynolds once asked me out. I was in his room. Phyllis Diller       What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day. - Phyllis Diller    The only time I ever enjoyed ironing was the day I accidentally got gin in the steam iron. -Phyllis Diller     Old age is when the liver spots show through your gloves. -Phyllis Diller    My photographs don't do me justice -they look just like me. -Phyllis Diller    Tranquilizers work only if you follow the advice on the bottle - keep away from children. -Phyllis Diller    I asked the waiter, 'Is this milk fresh?' He said, 'Lady, three hours ago it was grass.' -Phyllis Diller       The reason the golf pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can't see him laughing. -Phyllis Diller    You know you're old if they have discontinued your blood type.

The barn and house in winter

 

No regrets that we painted our barn green and the house yellow.

And for first time viewers, no the barn is not attached to the house despite what it looks like above.

Cookbook Book Club

 Two local libraries are co-sponsoring a cookbook book club.  We read the same cookbook, try some recipes, and gather for a potluck to share.

Our first book.

Has anyone read and tried any recipes from this?

Our first meeting will be February 22nd.

These are some recipes I've marked so far that I want to try.

It's all vegetarian and gathered from 5 regions of the world where people are known to live long lives: Sardinia (Italy), Okinawa (Japan), Nicoya (Costa Rica), Ikaria (Greece) and Loma Linda (CA, US).

Continued from last Tuesday.

 

Our local library doesn't have one of these anymore.  Someone came in to look for a book and looked around for the card catalog. Nope not here!  They were offered the librarian's computer.

You would think makers of cell phones would consider someway to slam the phone.

One of our vacation rentals had one of these slides.  The granddaughters learned really fast how to climb up the slide.

And there's more to come.
