CHICKEN SOUP

IMG_2397

ONLY PHOTOS I HAVE TONIGHT ARE OF THE PHEEBS SNOOZING ON THE COUCH

We busied ourselves around the house this morning deciding on and packing up things that we will be taking back to Canada next Spring.  We took a lot of priority stuff with us late last March when we headed back so things going back this time are all secondary.  We don’t have a lot of room in the Motorhome for stuff and even if we did we would have no room for it all once we arrived back in Canada.

I seem to be on chicken soup kick.  Last month when I was sick it was a can of chicken soup that finally stayed put in my stomach and since then I have gone through 5 more cans of it.  Chicken soup for breakfast, chicken soup for lunch, chicken soup for supper and chicken soup for a midnight snack.  Well I haven’t done all that but I can almost see myself headed that way.  When I picked up a couple cans of chicken soup awhile back at Safeway I couldn’t help but notice right away how much smaller the cans were from the last time I bought a tin of soup many years ago.  Another example of ‘Minimum amount of product for Maximum amount of money.  Isn’t it just the way of things nowadays eh!!  And don’t even ask me what I paid for a Big Mac, small fries, and a coffee at McDonalds Sunday.  I’ve been kicking my *ss all over the place ever since!!!!  Luckily I’m not a regular buyer of burgs and to the commenter in Sunday night’s post you might be interested to know the last time I can remember buying a ‘Shake’ was back about 1958.  Think it was Butterscotch.

It seems the Burger King Pheebs and I turned into Sunday while in Wickenburg is actually a brand spanking new building in it’s latter stages of completion.  I was only ever at the older Burger King once or maybe twice that I recall and thinking about it more I seem to remember the former building as being just one story.  This new one is much taller now that I think of it.

GROANER’S CORNER:(( A Lutheran minister is driving down to New York to see a radio show and he's stopped in Connecticut for speeding. The state trooper smells alcohol on his breath and then he sees an empty wine bottle on the floor, and he says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"  And the minister says, "Just water."  The sheriff says, "Then why do I smell wine?"  And the minister looks down at the bottle and says, "Good Lord, He's done it again!"

Employer: "In this job we need someone who is responsible."

A blonde's car gets a flat tire on the Interstate one day So she eases it over onto the shoulder of the road. She carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk. She then takes out two cardboard men, unfolds them and stands them at the rear of the vehicle facing oncoming traffic. The lifelike cardboard men are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies to approaching drivers... Not surprisingly, the traffic became snarled and backed up. It wasn't very long before a police car arrives. The Officer, clearly enraged, approaches the blonde of the disabled vehicle yelling, "What is going on here?" "My car broke down, Officer" says the woman, calmly. "Well, what the hell are these obscene cardboard pictures doing here by the road?!" asks the Officer... "Helllllooooo, those are my emergency flashers!" she replies.

  2. I think moving is one of the most aggravating things, whether you are moving across town or across the country. Good luck.

  3. Things are wrapping up and soon you be back on the road again, exploring new places and enjoying new scenery. I prefer Burger Kind to Mc Dad's and actually Carls' Jr even more but don't do much pf them anymore. Silly Al's pizza is still our favourite.

  7. I use to buy the same thing at McDonalds when I ate their burgers. It didn't take long for the cost to double while ordering the exact same thing.

  8. Pheebs is such a character! At one point she is saying 'enough with the photo shots' and is covering her face. Love it.

  9. I've been thinking about chicken soup for the last week or so. yesterday they had an all you caould eat soup lunch at Jojoba. It was in conjunction with their little half day craft fair and was a fund raiser for the wood and metal shops here in the park. $6 per person. They had seven kinds of yummy homemade soups served from huge Nesco cauldrons. Turkey soup, but no chicken. Our panty is pretty low and we are shopping today, so I think I'get a chicken and make some soup.
