At first glance I thought this was just a photo of someone’s dinner. Then I realized that the chicken wings were posed. Then I looked closer. How clever!

One thing that I really enjoy is a nice cup hot chocolate during the freezing cold winter months and I’m glad that Swiss Miss decided to come out with a wonderful new flavor (Mocha Cappuccino) last year. Their Mocha Cappuccino Hot Cocoa Mix is truly heavenly, and I hope that you can find it at your local grocery. They have matched the flavors perfectly, blended just the way so that each one doesn’t overwhelm the other, so to speak.

I gave up purchasing the type with the mini marshmallows already included, they are way too small and melt away before you even get a chance to let the darn thing cool off enough to take the first sip. So I always make sure that I have a bag of mini marshmallows on hand come winter time.

As with all hot drink mixes that you only have to add water to, I only use 2/3 of the hot water recommended and top it off with milk, it makes it creamier and helps cool it off a bit so that you can get right down to the drinking of. At least there is one good thing that I can say about the winter season.

My best friend sent me this, she comes up with some good stuff every now and then that she knows that I will enjoy.

“I Believe… That just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other. And just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do love each other.

‘The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything they have.”

Today was the perfect day for a ride on the back of my best friend’s Harley Davidson. Man there were so many bikes on the road today it just blew my mind. This summer we have had such extreme heat for the majority of the season that people haven’t been going out riding as much as they were looking forward to this summer. So I guess everyone was making up for lost time this Labor Day weekend.

We took a drive up to Skyline drive and found ourselves in the company of just about every other motorcycle rider in the entire area taking the same route along with us on the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway that is so famous for their nice roads and motorcycle friendly security personal that patrol the place. They are certainly the best riding roads within hours of here and the surrounding counties just eat up all the money that is spent due to all of the bikers coming through.

Gas, Food and Beer are always in demand come nice weather on the weekends. We call this weather “Leather Weather” and you just can’t beat it if you tried.

If you get the chance to catch Sinbad, the comics, newest stand up routine on The Comedy Channel, I would certainly recommend that you take the time to watch it. It is his best ever and I’m so glad to see him back in the spot light once again.

I love it when they have comic marathons, where they have the best of stand up all weekend long. No matter what time of the day or night you can turn the channel to The Comedy Channel and be entertained and laugh out loud, which is always so good for the soul.
