Spammers Beware!!

June 16, 2011 by 14 Comments

For the past two days, my blog here on WordPress has been inundated with mindless moron, dirtbag spammers and, from what I’m hearing, I’m not the only one dealing with this Internet trash. 

A word of warning, all you feeble-minded, useless pieces of toilet flotsam…I’ve turned all your IP addresses over to the FBI and Secret Service; in a matter of time, you’ll be sharing a cell with Fat Louie or Big Wilma (depending on what maximum security prison you end up in) and your spamming days will be over!

                 

I sound scary, don’t I?  Afraid of me yet?

Presently, I’ve been smacked with more than 250 useless pieces of drivel from people who deserve a beating…from me.  Trust me, I’m not someone to be effed with, especially not this week.

Thanks, and hugs, to Bernie at One Mixed Bag  ( I heart her) who advised me to download Askimet which, for now, is keeping all the cockroaches at bay.

But, I’ll be watching…and waiting….

Kicked up with golden rum, this sweet tea is an interesting take on a longtime Southern classic.

Ingredients

  • 7 cups water
  • 6 orange pekoe tea bags
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup Bacardi 151 or other high-proof golden rum
  • Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

    • Directions

  • Bring 4 cups of the water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add the tea bags. Remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and allow the tea bags to steep for
    5 minutes.
  • Remove and discard the tea bags. Add the sugar to the saucepan and stir until dissolved. Add the remaining 3 cups water and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a pitcher, and add the lemon juice and rum. Chill thoroughly before serving.

    My Flag Day Baby

    June 14, 2011 by 10 Comments

    Today, June 14th, is, in the United States, Flag Day; it commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.

    What makes this day even more important, and special, is that it’s my Granddaughter Emma’s birthday; My Flag Day Baby, as I call her.

    The eldest of our Grandchildren, Emma, is an absolute joy to our family.  As I sit here and write this post, I cannot believe how quickly these past years of her life have taken her from a bubbly baby to nursery school, Cheerleading, an outstanding high school student and, most importantly.. Grandma’s favorite shopping buddy. 

    What more could I ask for?

     

             

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Tonight, we will celebrate with a family dinner and her favorite birthday cake while following the yearly tradition of talking about the morning she was born; how becoming Grandparents was the best gift my husband and I would ever receive. 

    Happy Birthday to Miss Emma Jean, we heart you dearly!
