The Last Twinkie...

The Last Twinkie...

Jarrod, Crystal, Jason and James stopped by today, with the lousy weather this Labor Day weekend we decided not to go to the fair, instead we cooked up some classic fair food,  Sausage subs, Italian sausage, onions, pile of peppers, on a nice sub roll, yum.

Oh and the best part was saved for last, for desert we had Chocolate filled Twinkies and Ring Dings for desert, two Hostess fav's that were gone to soon.  Rosie had put a couple boxes in the freezer when Hostess gave up and quit making them.  She told the boys to savor the Twinkies as they may never have them again (she sent them home with a couple too.).  I still haven't seen them in stores though I'd heard someone was making them again, and that they were available.  

Yes sir these are tough times...

Yum...

It's official... I've reached that age...

It's official...  I've reached that age...

Rose and I went to McDonalds today for an iced coffee. 

I ordered a large Iced Regular Coffee for me, and a large Iced for Rose "cream only".  

I pulled up the the drive up window and the girl that handed me the first Iced Coffee and explained that it was the one with sugar in it, I placed it in my cup holder.  I turned to get the second coffee.  She passed me Rose's Iced Coffee and says here's the "cream only", and if you mix them up they have these little labels on the cups that tell you what's in them "see" as she pointed to the paper label stuck to the side of the cup...

I'm sure she was trying to be helpful,  explaining this new fangled invention called "labels".

Pointing out the "oh so obvious" to the old man who couldn't possibly have figured that out on his own "even without my glasses" by taking a sip of either coffee...

REALLY?...   

I'm going to get my cane out of the closet, just in case.    Jeesh...
