SAFETY TIPS

Always lock your car, truck, suv, van, etc. doors as soon as you get in even if it is in your driveway. With the goings on in today's world it is always better to be safe than sorry. In fact, I used to insist to my son, Jerry, when he started driving that he always lock the car doors as soon as he got in the car. You don't want someone sneaking up on you and carjacking you or worse. Also, when you pull up to an atm be very aware of your surroundings. Years ago Jackee was making a deposit for the store she worked for and someone snuck up and put a gun in her face and took the money bag. Always be aware of your surroundings when walking in parking garages or parking lots. Walk confidently with your head up. Please always be careful in everything that you do. We don't want you to be a statistic. If you can, take a self-defense course. Chris and I took one given by our police department with two other friends, Debbie and Janellen. It was very informative. Anyhow, stay alert and take care of yourself.

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
