This ‘n That

* It’s the “ber” months! September, October, November, and December! My favorite time of year!

* I thought this was a cute tip for all you dog people…. Ring your doorbell on your way to bed at night. This will clear the dogs off your bed long enough for you to get in and get comfortable.

* Yes, I really did this. I was making a copy at work, and I accidently laid down the paper on the wrong side, basically making a copy of a blank piece of paper.

* Sorry to hear about the passing of Bob Barker. I really enjoyed watching him as the “Price is Right” emcee. He made that TV show and had a very distinctive voice. I was worried when Drew Carey replaced him when he retired, but for once, I think the studio got it right. Carey stepped up and is doing a good job.

* What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word, Disco? I think of the Bee Gees and Saturday Night Fever!

* Every “c” in Pacific Ocean is pronounced differently. * What is something from your past we need to bring back?

* Depending on the day, I will let the music play continuously, or play the same song on repeat for days.

* September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. A gold ribbon is its symbol. Please give to the charity of your choice to help eradicate this terrible disease.

* Perennials you are supposed to divide in the fall include some of the flowers that I have: daylilies, irises, peonies, and Lily of the Valley. Yes, I should divide them up, but will I? I think I am up for the challenge. Stay tuned…..

* It’s finally football season and you don’t want to miss out on even one second of a game, so here is an easy dip to make. In a large bowl, mix together a packet of taco seasoning, a packet of Ranch dip with one large carton of sour cream. Chill and serve with tortilla chips or Fritos. Enjoy! And if you want to kick it up a notch or two, add in a can of drained Rotel tomatoes, with or without green chilies, jalapeños or some shredded cheddar cheese to make it your own.
