Caleb Turns Eleven

Today is Caleb’s eleventh birthday!  He wanted to celebrate at Red Lobster with their all you can eat shrimp dinner.  He thought that maybe being eleven now he could beat his dad.  He couldn’t.  But I love this kid.  Happy birthday Caleb Nathanael!!

German Apple Pie

My neighbor, Hilde, from across the street called me this morning.  I figured it was a neighborhood watch/crime issue.  Nope.  She asked, “Do you like apple pie?”  I thought about going into a Geico commercial as my response but was afraid she wouldn’t catch the humor in it.  ”YES!!!”  She replied, “I have one in the oven for you.  When it’s finished I’ll bring it over.”  Just before hanging up she said, “Oh, it’s a German apple pie.”  I have no idea what that means.  Hilde is from Germany.  I’m on my second piece.  I love Hilde.  I love Germany.

My Favorite Political Ad

This is a REAL political ad being aired in Canada.  Sam Katz is the current mayor of Winnipeg and is up for reelection.  His opponent makes a fine case against him using a most unfortunate accident!  I would vote for the opponent for the shear brilliance of this ad.
