Ever end a day knowing that you'll probably ramble on about nothing.  Tidbits for today perhaps?

Did you know that if you put a Krispy Kreme doughnut in the microwave for 11 seconds (10 or 12 doesn't work) that you get the exact texture and temp as a "hot now" doughnut?   It took me a long time to get the exact time right.  If you don't live where they sell Krispy Kreme you have no idea what your life has been missing.

Krispy Kreme is such a fond childhood memory of mine.  Growing up in south Tampa gave me the benefit of walking several blocks and finding the original Krispy Kreme bakery.  I don't think back in those days they had the variety they have now, but I honestly don't think I ate any type of doughnut other than glazed until I was grown.  While the variety is nice for most, I'll always be a glazed doughnut kinda of girl.

If those glazed covered circles of heaven weren't your taste, a walk several blocks in the other direction found you inside the Krystal Burger joint.  A friend told me the other day that Krystal burgers are the same as the frozen White Castle.  We aren't friends anymore - you gotta draw a line somewhere.  While I've now hit 50, and kept going, I can honestly still say Krystal and Krispy Kreme are 2 of the most amazing things to eat.  People the country over have tried to figure out how to duplicate that tiny burger of goodness, but why, there's a restaurant that makes them.  And guess what - they make them, are you ready, . . . . 24 HOURS A DAY.    Take a sliver of greasy beef, layer on some dehydrated onions, a pickle and the bun top then slide it onto the bottom bun with a dab of mustard.  This side of heaven it might be the best thing ever tasted.

So take the time today and stop, relax and focus on a couple of the childhood memories that you still enjoy today.  I just did.  Now I'm off to the mircowave, boss brought in Krispy Kreme today.

WORK IN PROGRESS - MY DESIGN

Here's a sneak peek at the one in progress.  It's the one I raffled to pay for the bike equipment for Wanda and Rene.  Hope to finish it this weekend and send it Romaine who has waited so patiently for it. 

BIKES FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD RIDER

Thought since it's lunch time I'd post all my latest news at one time - As you saw from my pimp my bike series, I have gone back to riding with some neighbor ladies.  Well neither had bikes so I decided to raffle off a new quilt I'm making and see if I could find them some second hand bikes in good condition.  Just so happens that a friend donated 2 bikes she no longer used and I was able to use the raffle money to get them head and tail lights, computers, water bottles, etc. for both bikes.  Even had enough left over for the new seat on my Townie bike.  Sorry this pic is sidways but here is Wanda's new bike.

Here's the newest addition to our home.  I promised Itty she would be my last cat but I missed having a pet around (Shannon's cat isn't very friendly) so I opted for a puppy.  Not sure what made me pick a pomeranian except my son in law always wanted one.  He is cute as a button and only weighs in at 1.5 pounds at 6 weeks old.    Shannon and Robert take care of him most of the time and I think will bond with him more.  But I'll still lavish the love on him.  How can you not - just look at that little heap. 

Finally a Post - But Sad News

Finally I get around to adding to my blog and it's sad news.  I lost little Itty Bitty 3 weeks ago.  She may have had a rough start in life but I know her last 14 years were comfortable and she was loved.  I knew she would pass one day since she was well over 20 but I lmiss that little cat.  The vet did place her ashes in a lovely wooden box and the girls even had her name engraved on it.
