Let the Holiday's Begin!

Oh Ya! Let the Holiday's begin...

I have been starting my Holiday season with Brandy Beans for the past 7-8 years...
While living in Spokane, WA., I would by my Brandy Beans at the German Deli as well as at Trader Joes... but now that I live here in the mountains of Central California,,, there is no German Delis to be found and the Trader Joes is a good 30min drive down the mountain... but today was  our day to drive down the mountain to go to the City to run errands and... Trader Joes.... and yes I bought not 1 but 4 boxes of Brandy Beans...
Bring on the Holiday's...

What's for Dinner?

Gooble Gooble......

What Will Mother Nature Bring Us?

 

 

Well according to all the weather forecasting by all the weather genius' out there,,, we are suppose to have an  ' el Nino'  Winter,,, in other words... lots of rain and snow,,, So I figured I had better get ready...

 

How about you? are you ready???
lolol!

81 Years Young....

While in the kitchen this morning,,, puttering around the counter where my old mixer sits... it occurred to me,,, that the mixer was built/sold in 1934... the same year as my mom was born... oh my stars!  both are 81 years...young..

How many times have I dusted around it, peeked in the little book that came with it,, and yet never dawned on me, the year and (to me) significance.
But what was even more fun was re-reading the Warranty on the back...

 This is the manual that came with the mixer.

 I love how it was written in simple layman terms about how the warranty works...

"First go to your Dealer from whom you purchased the appliance; he can usually fix the trouble. If he can't, then write us fully, saying what the difficulty seems to be..."

Can you imagine  going to Macy's or Kmart with your non-operating mixer and having a clerk work on it there on the counter... lol!
Such were the simpler of times...

MJFGOTM....

Whoot Whoot,,, I was chosen to be the October 2015, Maryjane Farm Girl of the Month...
