I can remember a few years ago when the town notified everyone that lived there, whether in town or in rural areas that we all needed to put an address plaque or at least numbers on our house in such a way that rescue and fire departments could locate the house in case of an emergency.  That campaign to get address signs for homes was due to the switch-over to the new 911 system.

I had a very difficult time getting my mother-in-law to comply with the new regulation for the system.  She had her numbers on the rural mailbox across the street and she was adamant that was all she needed!  I kept trying to explain that the town was requiring address plaques to actually be ON the house itself, so that the rescue people could find her house, not her mailbox!  So wouldn’t you know she put her address on the BACK door of her house, where no body could see it at all?

Now I know where my hubby gets his stubborness from!

This afternoon I wanted to make a loaf of Portugese Sweet Bread using the bread machine. So I printed out the recipe and went into the kitchen to start putting it together. Oh no! We were out of eggs! Well, I’ll just have to put that off until maybe tomorrow then. So I went out to run some errands and buy some eggs while I was out.

The store that I stopped at to buy eggs was running a special – 2 dozen eggs for $2.00! Well, that’s a great deal, so I bought 2 dozen and went happily home. When I got home and opened the refrigerator door to put the eggs away, what did I see? Two dozen eggs already there in the refrigerator! My son had run out to buy eggs, not knowing I was picking some up! Well, I guess I have egg on my face now! LOL!
