More Good News! or Share Our Wealth!

Here's some more good news to tell you about. While I was taking a shower this morning, with Henry constantly trying to get into the shower with me, I was counting my many blessings. In fact, I was up to my 147th blessings counted when Tony said, from the kitchen, "Nance, I've got a surprise for you!"

At first I thought that Tony was going to jump into the shower with me, but I quickly blew that idea off, because we are both old and we ain't what we used to be in the looks-department.

While I was drying myself off, Henry Standing Bear tried to help me by licking my toes. "Thank you, Henry," I said, while I was sucking in my stomach, in hopes of buttoning up my too tight 501 Levis. "You've been very helpful. Now, go help Tony."

Standing proud, like he had really been so helpful to me, Henry slowly stretched and then he walked out of the bathroom to go find Tony.

A few minutes later, my top button on my jeans was at last buttoned, emphasizing my muffin-top(s). So, I put on my blue work shirt, tied a pink bandana around my neck to hide "the hide" that once I was so proud of.

Then I pulled on my pretty pink boots and was now ready to receive the world or at least get a delicious cup of Donut Shop Coffee. "Morning Tone," I said, trying to sound cheerful. "What's my surprise?"

Tony smiled, and said, "The rest of your Hans Freitag Wafers Cocoa With Cream filling arrived."

"Are you serious?" I asked, even though I knew he was telling me the truth. Some people call that a control-freak thing, but I do it, because I am hard of hearing and just want to make sure that I heard him right.

"Yes, but I wonder why they just didn't pack them all into one big box?"

"Too many calories," I explained, while I was placing the six new bags of the world's tastiest wafers, on top of the stove. Then I took this picture of our newest arrivals.

"Tony, we've got a ton of errands to run today. We've got to pick up Roy's meds, at Hoegemeyers, run by Pressler's for me to sign off on some paperwork, go to the Post Office Sub-Station, go to the craft store and go to Wolfmueller's Books, so I can drop off Jim & Liz's poster, Kris & Jim's Tom Slick book and something else, but I forgot?"

"Go by Wild Birds Unlimited? Because I'm low on my birdseed."

"Yes, but that's not it. I will remember it in a minute," I said, staring in disbelief at all of the bags of wafers we had. "Tony, I feel like we're sitting on a gold mine here, with all of these wafers. So let's share our wealth." Then I grabbed two bags of the incredibly delicious, Made In Germany, wafers and put them on the breakfast bar. "Let's give a bag of these to Kris & Jim and to Sandy & Jon." And that's exactly what we did.

When we were heading back home, on the down-side of the Medina Pass, I finally remembered what the other thing was that we needed to do today, but Tony was talking to me about me helping him put together an e-book of his beautiful pictures. And by the time he stopped talking and we had stopped Buttermilk to pick up our mail, I had forgotten once again about what we needed to do.

Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing! 

Some Good News—Some Bad News!

Today I have some good news and some bad news to share with you and it came in a package from Amazon Prime. The Hans Freitag Wafers with Cocoa with Cream filling arrived! And that's the good news.

The bad news is that I only received four packages of those delicious wafers, instead of the ten that I had ordered, because they had completely sold out of them, because of their popularity.

So not wanting to complain, I guess you could say that the good news is at least I got the last four bags available. You know, like the glass is half full or it is half empty.

 

So tonight I am going to celebrate and make this a special occasion as I munch on these wafers while counting my many blessings that are nearly up to 200 blessings. And that is something to be happy about, even though it takes me a pretty long time to do it, because I have become more forgetful.

Y'all have a great evening and I apologize for cornering the market and buying up the rest of these delicious wafers on Amazon!

Special Occasions!

I haven't blogged much the past few weeks, because it is hard for me to write "Today has been great" with all of the disturbing and sad world news that we are bombarded with.

But yesterday, for a couple of hours, we did have our spirits lifted, because our dear friends Kent Perkins and his adorable wife, Ruth Buzzi, came by for a very fun visit.

Kent & Ruthie brought their incredibly great and beautiful dogs with them: Buffy, a sweet, male Great Pyrenees and J.J., a handsome, very friendly, male Pit Bull. They also brought us a big bag of Hans Frietag delicious Wafers with Cocoa Cream filling. And while we sat around and visited we also kept passing the bag of wafers around. Seriously, you cannot eat just one.

During our fun visit, Kent played my Martin guitar while he accompanied sweet Ruthie singing several songs. And some of her songs were totally hilarious and they made us laugh. And it felt so good to finally have something to laugh about.

After their In-Cabin concert Tony asked Kent & Ruthie to watch Longmire—Texas Style and this time it was them laughing out loud. And they told us that they loved it, especially Little Debbie's wardrobe with her pink flower-eye-patch.

So when the Longmire—Texas Style video ended, Ruthie picked up Little Debbie and held her in her arms. And as she and Ruthie were becoming fast friends, I grabbed my camera and snapped this picture of them, as Big Al(ice) sat and stared into space—probably plotting revenge for my adorable one-eyed Chihuahua.

Tony and I have never heard of Han's Frietag wafers which are made in Germany, so after we adios-ed our dear friends, I Googled the delicious wafers and found a limited amount of them on Amazon Prime. 

And I must confess that Tony and I love those delicious wafers with cocoa cream filling so much—I ordered 10 bags, that I plan to freeze and only serve for special occasions. Even though we seldom have special occasions around here. So, I guess when they arrive on Wednesday—we will just have to make that our special occasion to eat them.

Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing or at least try to find something good to laugh about!
