Ahhhh...another relaxing evening. :)

I am so excited! I actually got to come straight home without doing a mad dash to change into my next outfit, next hat, or whatever! I was able to come home, get into my jammies, make myself one of my favorite sandwiches and watch a few episodes of Ma and Pa Kettle. Do you remember the series? I loved Marjorie Main's character as Ma! Lol! She was so funny. And poor Pa always did as he was told. There's something about the Ma and Pa Kettle series that makes me feel like I should be all bundled up at gramma's house (with those jammies that had that footsies on them) eating a grilled cheese sandwich and sipping on some comforting tomato soup. :)

Tonight I'll settle for one of my favorite sandwiches, fresh Genoa salami, a slice of Provolone cheese (it's on the bottom so you can't see it) and tons and tons of avocado!


See these? These are pure evil to Michelle. Never, ever offer Michelle these because she will take the whole bag and eat them in one sitting. I'm almost positive I've gained about five pounds since yesterday.

These are a few funny clips from Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Town. I love it! Don't forget to turn off my player down below.



See? All comfy with my robe covering me....the TV on and my computer up. I guess you could say I had a relaxing evening with technology tonight. Lol!

Happy relaxing!

I don't remember this show Michelle. It sure reminds me of the "Wizard of Oz" with the time frame.

Your sandwhich looks yummy! We adore avacado around here.

Thanks for the kind words on our garage makeover! I really appreciate it. ~Smiles. :)

Diane gave me the link to your blog. Those are all great things. I'm the "Ma Kettle" that she referred to.

That sandwich sounds yummy (love avocado!)& I adore those sweets!

Michelle, my apologies! Your 2 previous posts didn't appear on my blogroll (just the one titled "Bonding") - very strange! (I had the Blogger bug over the weekend too - my early Saturday one didn't appear on blogrolls till late evening! Blogger had over 150 complaints when I checked!)

Lovely post! Hope you're having a great week!

xxxLOL LOLA:)

That is MY kinda sandwich! I was just remarking to dh yesterday that avocados are the main reason why I would want to move to CA....so I could have my very own avocado tree! ;)

I've never watched Ma and Pa Kettle before...I live under a very big rock. LOL!

What a funny show! Looks like you had a great evening. No worries on the package. I have to admit that I forgot about it! I too have been going a million miles a minute. I haven't even had time to ride Fred lately! So sad. Maybe soon!

Patti said...

ok- 3 of my favorite ingredients...yum!!! So funny footie jammie story...Molly and I were in Target the other day and in the older boy's department there were the most humongous one piece footie jammies hanging up. As we passed by, we saw them at the same time and burst out laughing. I can not imagine WHO would EVER buy those things!!!
