*Today's Thinking in 3s

Thinking in 3s right now. What jumps to mind from today?
hmmm.....old friend memories on my mind today.

Chocolate
* found an actual 'melting chocolate cake' recipe in the recipe magazine I always use but never knew that recipe was in the back! Uggh! Unbelievable! --can't wait to try it!
*it's not "death by chocolate"; its LIFE by chocolate. Think positive you people!
*HERSHEYS

more Chocolate, more Hershey
*hershey kisses
*hershey choco bars!
*Hershey our kitty cat that our MO neighbor found under the outhouse at the track and gave to us, and then he'd sit 5 feet out of reach of her chained dog and torment him with his presence to drive the dog nuts; Hershey was very street smart.

Living near Hershey

MEMORIES that I've thought of today.....

1.Driving 16 hours basically straight thru home to MO where there is some total silence when I turn around to look at 6 & 4 yr. old chili peppers sitting there and giant 4 yr. old chili pepper is covered in BLUE, and I gasp bc he has completely covered himself --face, arms, hands--in blue magic marker, and all I can suddenly do is say "if you don't stop that you won't be able to ride your new bike when you get home ( bc that chili pepper taught himself to ride a PA friend's old banana seat bike--and he never even had training wheels--and he just loved riding it so much they threw it in our car to bring home to MO where little 4 yr. old would get home to instantly go ZOOM down the hill of Humphreys and give us all heartattacks!---and so 4yr. old chili pepper instantly stopped turning himself into a smurf and we didn't hear a peep out of him the rest of the way home/ Humphreys tornado sirens/ lost little boys who went into the woods to search for dinosaur eggs.

2.In 1999 inNew Mexico at White Sands and watching the 'stealths' and fighter jets practice at Holloman, and now I have a stealth magnet on my frig. bc a chili pepper thought she'd give me a souvenir magnet last year of what she wants to drive one day even though she doesn't want to drive cars. ???

3.Reading The STATE newspaper today and thinking of the people in Afghanistan and remembering when my husband came home each time from there.

Weather
-Hot, but not as hot as it could be as when our star, the sun, grows so big that it gets too hot to live.
-Too humid, but not a tropical rain forest, yet!
-Too buggy, but at least these bugs are 'normal' bugs and not extremely creepy like in rain forests, and we don't have malaria here right now.
SO THE WEATHER ISN'T ALL THAT BAD, I SAY!

BEACH
Walk for shells
Build sand castles
Glow lights

MOUNTAINS
*Missed my P.A. trip due to car repairs
*Cool mountain air, creeks & catching crayfish, PA patchwork Amish fields, Cowfield in the mountain on the way to the goat trail, crawling over reservoir watershed, winter snow and hiding under snow-covered hemlock branches, Upstate SC lakes, waterfalls, and hiking, LIGHTNING BUGS
*Kentucky Blue Grass and rich soil where you put a seed in the ground and spit on it and never think about watering it compared to the not-good soil here. William Penn knew what he was talking about when he wrote to England about the fertile land he had discovered. OBVIOUSLY HE DIDN'T ARRIVE TO S.C.! But hey, we got more rain this week TWICE!

In 3s.....OUTNUMBERED HERE 3 to me. (too much testosterone here!)

More than 3 minutes past my bedtime.
That is TODAY's THINKING IN 3s--July 31
