Things Grandma and I saw

In my early childhood, probably late 40's, we didn't have a T.V., so there wasn't much to do after dark, besides go to bed, and wait for sleep. I used to sleep with my Grandma a lot and one summer night, laying in front of the window trying to get a little wisp of cool night air. Grandma was being really quite and she said to me, look in the sky and pointed to where she wanted me to look. There were 3 or 4 tiny little red dots moving around in the sky, like they were playing tag. I ask Grandma, what is that, she said I don't know. She said I see them all the time at night when I can't sleep, I said have you told Mom and Daddy about them? She said no they would just say I was a crazy old woman. I only seen that the one time and I never did mention it to Mom, I don't know why, just didn't.
Planes didn't fly at night where we lived, and not very often during the day. So it rules that out

Judy's Pizza Ho Hum!!!

How to smile and not to lose your mind and run a pizza shop!!! Well.... first thing I am told as I am met in the parking lot, is the new girl isn't doing very good and has made a lot of mistakes today. Now one week ago this same girl was doing so very good, learning really quick, wonder what happened.

The problems for the day was a 14 inch pizza was made instead of a 10 inch how can that happen unless someone didn't write it plain enough to read. Imagine that!!
Next a chicken Parmesan was brought back because some of the spaghetti was sticking out from under the cheese and was hard and there wasn't enough cheese on it when it was suppose to be x cheese, looked pretty bad to me, not enough cheese for x-cheese for sure.

Next someone came to pick up a order previously ordered and 20 hot wings turned into only 10 so the customer had to wait on the other ones to cook. Customer was okay with waiting, which was good.

Next, someone placed an order, paid for it and then it was placed in the drawer instead of being put in the kitchen where it could be prepared, so when the customer came back in to pick it up ... you guessed it ... had to wait on it after it was found in the drawer. Whew !!! are you tired yet cause I am.

Making Pizza

I have been making pizzas since 1967, my first job was at Gina's Pizza, on second and railroad street in Ironton, Ohio.
I was so very excited to be able to have a job, I worked for Clay Grant Jr., who scared me to death. Also I married him 3 years later. I was under the impression if you did one thing wrong you would get fired. Little did I know how much crap I put up with now that I own a pizza shop, Judy's Pizza, and still keep them because they are probably better than a new person. Everyone always knows a much better way to make your recipes, and don't hesitate to proceed to do so. It is a fight everyday in this respect!
It is something I hate and I love all at the same time, I think if I was able to fix all the food myself so it could be done the way I would want it, then maybe!!! That would be crazy though.

Sister Jane's Feather Fear

My sister Jane was very frightened of anything with feathers. I was prettty ornery, I blame it on not having anything to occupy my time, One day I found a little baby bird, with only pin feathers on it for feathers, poor little thing couldn't even fly. I took it to show my big sister cause I knew how scared she was of feathers. So I carried it up to her room to present it to her, I believe that was why she was already in her room , from me trying to show her how pretty it was. But I decided to show it to her at a closer range and she wouldn't let me in if I still had the bird.... but I told just a ittybitty little lie and told here I didn't have it anymore.... so she would open her door. She did open her bedroom door ... and I really did have the little birdie... She kinda screamed at me and run me out of her room ... but see this is the kind of little antics I liked to do ....Maybe it was due to being bored.... back when I was a kid when you got bored you did something .... and those were the things that I did to cure my boredom problem..

Miss Polly Anna

Here is a sweet little girl, not hardly a handful but has so much personality it wouldn't fit in a barrel.
She smiles when she gets nervous, Since she is now 6 years old she has lost a couple of teeth so it is really funny when she smiles now.

When we get company, she is convinced that they have come solely to see her, and zips around to each and everyone to greet them.

She eats like a little pig, until she gets full then she just stops abruptly.

She likes for me and Bobby to sit together with her sitting in between us, that makes her happy.

She is the apple of our eye, We had a hard time keeping her alive but she finally made it, all in one piece, all 2 pounds of her.

Candy Kisses

I heard a song on the radio today and it reminded me of long ago, riding to Bucyrus, Ohio with my Mom and Dad, and I must have been only 3 or 4 years old, I was standing up in between them in the car and that came on the radio, I can remember singing it with my Dad and I was soo proud to be able to sing it with him. That is the only time I can remember hearing him sing.

Candy Kisses wrapped in paper
Mean more to you than any of mine
Candy kisses wrapped in paper,
You'd rather have them any old time,

You don't mean it when you whisper
those sweet love words in my ear
Candy kisses wrapped in paper
Mean more to you then mine do , Dear

I built a castle of dreams, Dear
I thought you were building too,
Now my castles all have fallen
And I am left alone and blue

Once my heart was filled with gladness
Now there is sadness, only tears
Candy kisses wrapped in paper
Mean more to you than mine do, dear
Mean more to you than mine do , dear/

It surely brought back memories of long ago.

This is Something I found and I really like it.

Live Each Day To The Fullest

Live each day to the fullest
Get the most from each hour, each day,
and each age of your life
Then you can look forward with confidence,
and back without regrets,

Be yourself, but be your best self,
Dare to be different and to follow your
own star, and don't be afraid to be happy

Enjoy what is beautiful
Love with all your heart and soul
Believe that those you love, love you.
When you are faced with a decision,
Make that decision as wisely as possible
Then forget it.
The moment of absolute certainly never arrives
Above all remember that God helps those
who help themselves.
Act as if everything depended upon you,
and pray as if everything depended on God.
S. H. Payer
