Sprouted wheat sesame seed bagel, vegan creamcheese, turmeric, cucumber, salt - yum!

Peace to all,

Horrified Almost-vegetarian

I can't believe I just came to my blog to add a new post and what do I find? The Google ad below my entry about my daughter's 99.9% vegan birthday dinner was for A1 sauce with a picture of a steak alternating with a hamburger.

When I signed up I thought the ads would be relevant to the content in each post, and sure it was about food, but the word vegan was definitely in the keywords. I have no idea whether this sauce has any animal products in it, but will now have to research that for another day.

As the old TV commercial queried: "What's a mother to do?".

Peace, Judi

P.S. Do you think this post will generate an add for some lovely Boca Burgers, Tofurkey Sausage, or maybe some Not Dogs? One can only hope!

Louisville Part 4

I played tourist on Saturday and walked all over the city. Here's the latest:

- Waterfront area is in a sad state following recent flooding, part(s) of River Road are closed and walking was dangerous as the mud on the hardscape was slippery. They are working feverishly to get it cleaned up before the festival season begins.
- Lots of great photo ops here
- Wonderful food, if you get here check out Bistro 301 - I had the portabello sandwich and derby pie - yummmmm!
- Finally had a day warm enough to leave the coat off after work and it wasn't raining.
- Because it's downtown, found more places closed early - Payless Shoes closes at 7:00 PM.

Thanks for all of the fun, helpful, loving comments on previous posts. Great big hugs to all!

Merry Christmas

In my family, this year, we did our celebrating yesterday. Several people came to my house and we ate a lot, drank a little, and swapped gifts of joy and time together.

I want to thank one and all for keeping to the agreement of charitable donations in lieu of material gifts. It feels so good, as I said in my last post, to be helping those in need.

After my immediate family left, my sister and I did a "drive by" visit to my in-laws - literally only spent 30 minutes there, but just had to see them. It wouldn't be Christmas Eve without a visit with Trish and Jeff.

Then, Sue and I went to visit our friend, Pat, whom we've known since high school. Another fairly short visit as my asthma kicked in - between the dog at T&J's, the cats at Pat's, and the mold in the fantastic blue cheese my brother brought to my house, I didn't have a chance.

Then, Sue and I took a drive to Saugus to see the light displays so many houses put on 0ver there. It was late so many of them were already turned off for the night - but the ones we saw were just great.

I hope all of you had as enjoyable a holiday as I did. Peace to one and all.
