Trip to Oregon

Last week I went on a trip with my special friend, Dannie to Salem, Oregon to see his family.

It was my first Stone visiting that part of the United States and I had a wonderful time there.

Dannie’s family was nice and we enjoyed spending time with them.

We had a rental car and we put over 975 miles on it in the five days we were there.

We went to Salem, Newport, Bend, Portland and Vancouver, Washington.

Here are some of the pictures I took. I can’t wait to visit Oregon again. And I can’t wait for the next adventure with Dannie.

Do You Remember… TV Dinners

Do you remember having frozen TV dinners when you were growing up?

I remember going to the grocery store with my mom while I was growing up and she would let my brother and I pick out 4 or 5 of a our favorite frozen TV dinners. We thought we were cool that we got to pick different ones and they were ours to eat.

I remember waiting forever for it to bake in the oven. And then once it was done, I would burn my fingers taking the foil off the tray. It would never fail, some of the vegetables would be in the main meal and the mashed potatoes would be in the dessert. Oh, the fond memories of those wonderful frozen meals!

Here are some of my favorites:

  • Salisbury Steak
  • Cheesy Macaroni & Beef
  • Fried Chicken
  • Turkey Dinner
  • Veal Parmagian

But I am also a hoarder of any quote, saying, funny or cute picture I may want to use in the future.

Here are some that I have in my collection to use one day. And yes, I will use them… eventually.

Make it a great day.
