You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl. And RV and trailer parks are important for many reasons, but I'm sure some folks wouldn't agree.
You know you're a Trailer Crone when even though you can afford California Closets, you'd rather organize your cabinets with cardboard boxes from the liquor store.
You know you're a Trailer Crone when you've been to Walmart four times in two days and look forward to a fifth.
You know you're a Trailer Crone when the 49er fan pumping gas in front of you drops his drawers to fix his belt and you don't even flinch.
You know you're a Trailer Crone when your idea of a vacation is wearing sweat pants and decorating a trailer.
You know you're a Trailer Crone when the dog has more room in the pickup truck than you do.
I love an Aqua Velva and Old Spice Man.
I'll probably still find your blond hair after you leave. It's my way of marking you Jack until I return.
I think my grandmothers were Jewish and didn't know it. They instilled a sense of cleanliness in me that compelled me to make the trailer Kosher. My hands are still recovering from the week. You worked hard, and I appreciate it.
I found the words of the one before me. I hope you found peace.
I had a dream twice that never made to fruition. My sister is right. Who's going to stay at a bed and breakfast where the neighbors run at you with shovels and racks in their hands and tell lies to 911 operators. Maybe I was in the wrong longitude.
12232011 There's no crying in baseball, but there is at DDES. I've said all along that it was a clearing and grading permit if a permit was needed, but we have a maintenance agreement that says we can do what we want. I'm happy you're going to try again, and this was a nice Chanukah present, but you're taking on the Prosecuting Attorney's office, Real Estate, The dysfunctional Road Division, and where the H.E. double hockey sticks is the Executive's office. Can anyone guess what anniversary this is, and this is the week that I revealed my test? It's ironic how my life follows the Parsha's, and I don't read ahead.
You can do this Kate!
Ironically this Parsha was about Joseph testing his brothers, and Jacob going off to Egypt. It was suggested that I envision Jack as Jacob, and pretend he's going off to Egypt. That works since he's going to a triangle, and ironically I've already planned building a pyramid. Isn't Jack a nickname for Jacob.
This is your destiny. What's your name? It's nice to meet you, and you're probably right. Apparently there's an earth angel there.
How was the holiday of trees? Great until the next day when all the men in the family began getting the flu. Our Grandson gave it to them, but it's funny how it didn't hit the women like the men. This year to decorate I cut down the holly berry tree so we had a 14 foot tree on the front porch, and we didn't even need to decorate it. Why did you cut down the holly berry tree? I learned it's actually noxious, and I didn't want the birds in the sanctuary to spread the seeds. It wouldn't be healthy. It took me forever to hand saw it, but I can use the exercise. I really should learn to use a chainsaw. What else? All the electronics went wacky. What do you mean? Our cell phones didn't work correctly, the internet was slow, and the cable went off. That's funny none of our other friends had a problem. I'm blaming it on the Christmas comet that was spotted last night. Either that or the Maxwell Homestead Vortex is overactive today.
Look at all the wood for sale. I'm glad we cut all the wood when we did Kate. Me too Jack. I'm also glad you made me live up to my promise. Me too Kate.

The Rif Raf Diet
I'm moving from the menopause diet where I gained my weight, and creating the Rif Raf Diet. It's pretty simple, and comes from the Torah/Old Testament plus a few ideas of my own. The Rif Raf Diet is for those who don't fit in a nutritional box, and don't eat shell fish. If you eat shellfish, then you'll need to punt. You can replace Starbucks with brewed coffee. You can replace wine with grape juice. What do you replace Tater Tots and Chocolate with? Food from India?
