Manic Monday #123
What sound or noise do you love?
I love the sounds of the Peepers (frogs) outside at night, when the lights are off and I’m the only one awake, standing on our back porch.
What sound or noise do you hate?
Anytime someone is grinding their teeth, mainly in their sleep.  ARG – it’s like nails [...]

Yesterday we grilled steaks and [...]

“What is you favorite summertime drink?”
I love a cold beer on a hot day.  Anything light and refreshing … from Miller High Life to Ichiban … I love a good light cold one on a really hot day!  Of course, anything over 70 F is hot to me. LOL
