Marmalade Mommas and some funnies....

Do you need a thoughtful, creative (and relatively inexpensive) gift?

One of my friends turned me onto the Alameda Fruit Company (Marmalade Mommas) maybe 3 years ago?  

They sell homemade jams and marmalade made with fresh fruit. Click on the link above and enjoy the ride! They live in Alameda, and you can order online.  I bought 8 jars of lemon marmalade just this week for $12 each. 

 
Here are some funnies from Betty:

I'd heard that the newest Peet's was nice (it had previously been a Burger King). So I rode my bike over there once I got out of very frustrating meeting with well-meaning city officials. The Peets was very nice. But the nicest part was this photo... This gentleman, Sealli was crocheting, like a mad man with a grin as wide as his crochet needles! Before I went and got my iced tea and a ginger cookie, I noticed that there were A's hats, and beanies, and then I saw the colors....blue, white, and gold! Woiryers! That the way grandson, Cadel, says it!  Yes, he was working on a cap! I wondered if he would make one for C? Yep! He would be happy to do so! I told him I had an appointment, and asked how long would he be there. He said at least another hour. That sealed the deal. I told him I'd be back within that time, and gave him my card. Then when I got home, I thought, maybe he could do one for my son, too! I called him. Yep, he could. He'd get on

I need to give credit and thanks to Vicki and Betty for all that they've sent me these past long months.  They have made me laugh out loud...and I'm just me, myself, and I.  I expect I may be posting more on this Boomer-chick-musings blog...but I tend to take a break from now until the new year.  Looking at this, there are too many "I's" in it. So here's to you hoping you'll be having a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.   May all of the rest of my days may I be grateful enough to realize that this world is bigger and greater than I am.     Live richly.... that's the only choice that we've got! marilyn

I write this for my own health and well-being. I do review what went wrong and what went right. But I don’t dwell on either of them too much. The things that went well…those lead to new challenges. The things that went wrong….I know I need to learn from them…then fahget about ‘em! What the biggest personal accomplishment you've had this year? Thinking I must do everything just right. I have started to learn to lean on and leave it to God. S(He) can let me know what I need to do, when I need to do it, and I can be completely satisfied, or, if not, do it again, without the dribble in my head. What's the coolest thing you've seen this year? Sutter..I've seen her work at the (volunteer only) TED Talks in Christchurch, NZ. She's worked her way up to the #2 position...and folks have taken notice. She just started a new job with a huge pay increase because folks have noticed she is a (nice) boss woman. She was born to boss (in a nice way) people around. Where wa
