You know I've told you'all how I love gadgets, haven't I? I haven't....???
Well that's a whole 'nuther story fer another day..
But fer today, this one is the " top o' th' line" and I'm not kiddin'.
Well, you know I'm addicted to QVC GADGETS, don'tcha?
Girls, i'm way behind in my quest thru' life fer the
"THE GADGET QUEEN"
and this one may put me in the winners spot.
I'm a tellin' you when I saw this gadget
I nearly broke my finger hittin' the speed dial to QVC.
Already got a broke wrist.... NO, I wasn't speed dialin'. I was dog sittin'...
but that's another story , too
Back to my original story.... now, what wuz' it ?
Oh yeah... Maurine's Gadgets !!!
Well, it's SHOW N' TELL time
Now , ain't this the neatest thing fer cookin' spaghetti ??
See th ' little yellow " thingamajig" on the side,
well that ain't all, there's another one jest like it on th' other side..
well, now jest wait a minute... don't get too hasty, now.
They're fer measurin' yer' spaghetti..

If'n yer eatin' by yerself... just do one side..
but if yer intertainin' company... you use both of 'em.
Oh Glory... I can't wait to make meat sauce and spaghetti.
I jest know I'm a gonna be buyin' up my some reserve spaghetti.
Wait til I tell ya all the tasty recipes in th' little cookbook that came with it...
Some are not too southern, tho
but, hey, I'm a southern bologna fryer
from a way-back.
You remember when I told ya' about the big ole black iron skillett thet I
inherited from my Mama's Mama.
and I don't know how many more generations back it was used by my ancestors..
well, I can't use it now,... what with my broken wrist... but it's a waitin' in the skillett cabinet..

Gotta check out my spaghetti stash !!!

“AAAWWWW…ALMOST FREE !! “
I feel sooooo free !! I can type… not good, but
with both hands, now.!!
Went to orthopedic surgeon today and after
three weeks of being bound , I was partially
set free.. He let me go with just a wrist brace 11
I can even take it off for a shower.. Gracious Me !!
Can wash my arm again… Oh for a clean arm !!
Isn’t that the most beautiful sight you ever saw !!! It sure was a wrinkled sight.. looked like a dead armadillo . .. and probably smelled
worse… agh agh !!
But I tell you I came away from there singing praises to the Lord… and Dr. Landry, too !!
He looked at the xrays and said “ Looks Good !!” showed me the tiny place yet to mend and said “ If you promise to be good,.I’ll”
….”OH, I WILL….. I WILL “
I’ll let you off with just a wrist brace… Oh Glory !! so I have to keep my promise…well, mostly…. cause gotta go back in two weeks for a checkup… and I’ve heard that he has a temper..and yells…but I’ll cry if he yells at me.
So… it’s back to the sewing machine tomorrow.
Been buyin’ patterns like there’s no tomorow .. and even printed some on card
stock paper and cut out tonight.. I’m ready !!
Well guess this is about all fer tonight
so look for the whole arm soon…
