It turns out, 20 years later, that eggs aren’t bad for you after all—or bacon either if it isn’t highly processed, but that kind of bacon is hard to come by. It isn’t often you see this many people in an A&J strip! Maybe that will make a good theme for us here this week: other people in Arlo & Janis. To be honest, I’ll have to think about that one.

What is this “sleeping in” of which you speak? The alarm went off at 4am, just like always.
Well the expected rain never came and we had a nice race. My son, Dan, ran a 36:53.3 in the 10K and led wire to wire. Fortunately the police car in front of him turned on his bubble lights several times as locals were not expecting to see a bunch of runners. I told him that it is every father’s dream to see their son chasing a police car and not vice versa. My daughter came in from Chicago and ran the 10K as well. We were finally all able to run together, which was great.
I ran/walked the 5K and felt pretty good. Very light on my feet with no pounding on the joints. I would walk for a minute at a time then lightly run for about 2 minutes. At the end we finished on a track and I noticed that my calf was starting to cramp up. That rarely ever happened before. It still hurts this afternoon, but I’ve been drinking a lot of fluids and hoping that it goes away.
Steve, you and your family are awesome!
Steve from Royal Oak, nice going with the race. A special occasion, for sure, having your son and daughter running in the same race! I hope the cramp fades away soon.
Jackie, I hope your rose show was enjoyable and the weather was nice for it.
Dear Mindy, I wish you didn’t have to get up so early. What a pain.
Best wishes to all the Villagers for a nice Mothers Day tomorrow.

Come to think of it they might figuratively.

Try dill pickle juice, 2 fingers maybe 3 in a juice glass.
Don’t know how it works, it seems under a min. Both fingers and
calves.
Just had a piece of Tillamook “Special Reserve” Extra Sharp Cheddar
needs a nice sharp Red to go with it. It is a “nibbling” cheese. Little pieces at a time only.
Jackie keep up the good diet – love to hear the recipes.
Is there such a thing as a vegetarian mushroom?
Or is that OTHER than a vegetarian mushroom.
Lots of rose photos to post.
Debbe 😉 Probably the best of all the Hippie Chick songs…

Happy Mothers Day, hon.
Old Bear: Is there such a thing as a vegetarian mushroom? Or is that OTHER than a vegetarian mushroom.[?]
Vegetarian describes people or diets. Vegetable refers to plants, animal to critters. Turns out mushrooms are more closely related to critters than to plants; i.e., when an original eukaryote lineage split in two, say 3 BYO, one branch gave rise to plants and such, the other split later into fungi and critters, according to study of their DNA.
Gen. 1:1-2:4a, the newer, 6-day story, comprises two parts: days 1-3 = the setting, and days 4-6 the populating of the setting. 1=separation of light and darkness. 2 = sep. of the waters above and those below by a dome. 3 = sep. of waters below from the ‘dry land,’ which then ‘brought forth’ plants. Then 4 = population of the dome–sun, moon, stars. 5 = popul. of the air and waters–birds, fishes, whales. 6 = popul. of the land–cattle, creeping things, beasts, people [both male and female]. Nothing about fungi; ancients generally considered them plants, maybe defective. Nor about insects [day 5?] or spiders [creepy, so day 6, no?]. Interesting that plants are part of the setting. No ‘living things’ until day 5. Peace,
Good morning Villagers…
…and a blessed day on all mothers today and always.
GR 😉 thank you, you are very sweet. Thinking of Mom and her favorite song she liked played at every prom and bridal show we put on…..of course, the girls wore her favorite color…..

Yes, I enjoy pickles and learned a few years ago about their benefits. After a while I decided that it might have been a slight sprain so I went to R.I.C.E and woke up this morning feeling better. I need to mow the lawn and then cook for my wife. it is grilling weather, but I have some nice pork chops that I would like to lightly bread and pan fry. The only issue is clean up, which I am not great at and, well, that is the only think that my wife asks me to do.
I have to make a quick business trip to Mexico then my wife and I are spending a couple days at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. If anyone has seen Somewhere in Time, that is where the movie was shot. No cars, only horses and bicycles.
Not sure how you get Berre from Bear!
Thanks Gal. We may not be awesome, but despite my aches and pains, it felt awesome.
A happy and blessed Mothers Day to all.
God bless us every one, especially all mothers.
This duet has little to do with Mothers’ Day (I just apostrophes to avoid catastrophes of misunderstandings):

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in the Village.
Here is a nice article, (in French, so let Chrome translate) on using an IPad to draw comics. http://www.ticeman.fr/lepropulseur/?p=2091
GOOD morning Villagers, I am enjoying Mother’s Day weekend and having a great time. Just bought all the Peeps Easter candy at one store to toss for my Sail Oklahoma Peeps scooping race in October. Good score!
Rose show was great. I got invited by more than one person to join the group and helped one lady whose rose’s roots were being eaten by voles.
Merci, sandcastler! Although I have no need for any of those apps (which do look good), I do enjoy discovering that I can still understand enough French to at least get the gist of what is written.
Debbe, I will be staying Thursday night in Nappannee, In. At this moment I couldn’t tell you where that is but I will by tonight. I’ve been looking at the fire pictures from Canada. That’s a horrible situation.
Steve, I will be arriving in Mackinac Island about noon Sunday. We will be at the Grand Hotel until Tuesday. If you would like to meet we can figure it out if you will be there at the same time.
I will probably be wearing an orange and blue St Louis hockey jacket. It’s a long story. I’m not even a hockey fan.
Happy Mothers Day to all to whom it applies.
I prepared and “catered” lunch to my mom’s apartment. After lunch, I gave her her card, and we sat on her porch under a cloudless blue sky, in a soft warm breeze, talking and reminiscing about old times. Far from a fancy celebration, but it seemed to her…and to me…to be just about perfect.

I am beginning to be mama more and more, slightly tweaked.
I owe more to my kids’ angel mother [not all, just more]. The current TIP BlogSpot is better than some. http://thatispriceless.blogspot.com/ Will shortly leave for the patio grill [ribs and chicken] at my cleaning lady’s home. I’m supplying a 4-pack. Yay, M-Day. Peace,
