Meatloaf
Some days I am at a restaurant and I wish there was meatloaf on the menu. I get tired of the same old steak/chicken/burgers variety. I want meatloaf – like my mom used to make. And mashed potatoes and peas. With apple pie for dessert. I miss my mom’s meatloaf dinners.

Teddy Bear
Did you have a teddy bear as a kid? I know there are different iconic toys that people have over the years. I had a rocking horse that I loved to ride. I had a big wheel bike, but couldn’t wait until I got a real bike. Once I got my 20″ bike, I was free! I rode that bike all over town. Funny how a bike was my most favorite toys and other people lament the loss of their teddy bears.

Post Office Blues
I had a box of toys that I bought for my nephew’s birthday gifts and since I can’t attend the party, I wanted to mail them to his house. I bought them in plenty of time to wrap and box them for shipping. Would you believe that this little box of plastic army men weighed less than 10 pounds but cost me $22.59 to ship them? Holy smokes! That costs too much!

Summer Vacations
I just found out from a friend of mine that he and his wife are headed to the Bahamas for a four day weekend. How great for them that is. I couldn’t help but feel a little envious. I know that’s bad but I tried to contol it. I think I’m doing a little too much of working and not quite enough of living. I feel myself becoming envious of others that are going on vacation and losing their jobs. How funny is that to envy someone who just lost their job?? I think it’s time to take my wife to her favorite vacation destination. You guessed it Las Vegas! Time to stop writing and start packing.

Mothers Day
I guess everyone has a mother or mother figure, and some of us lucky ones have more than one. I have a mother in law and a step mother.And I cannot neglect the mother of my children.
So I’m on the hook for four Mother’s Day gifts. I don’t mind at all. In fact, I get a kick out of buying gifts for my mothers and doing a little somethng nice for them on their special day.
