My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Cleaning Poem - Feel Good Friday


Cleaning Poem
I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess.
He asked if I'd been 'computering',
And I had to answer 'yes.'
He told me to get off my fanny,
And tidy up the house.
And so I started cleaning up...
The smudges off my mouse.
I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick.....
I was just admiring my good work.
I didn't mean to 'click.'
But click, I did, and oops - I found
A real absorbing site
That I got SO way into it -
I was into it all night.

Nothing's changed except my mouse.
It's very, very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess.....
While I sit here on my hiney.

    Oh, how cute. Thank you for sharing this. Since I had to apply for disability, the computer has become a life-line for me.

    This is the best post I have ever read, the cutest and funniest poem!!! Oh, it has summed us up SO well! I have to show this to my daughters and daughters in law who constantly accuse me of being addicted to my computer! I laughed out loud at the last line and smiled the entire time I was reading. Thank you SO much for making my day much brighter than it was before I stumble on to you blog while looking for a perfect tuna salad recipe! I will be back again and again and again!!!!!!
