I first car was an Olds Cutlass, the one I learned to drive on. It was likely the first year the Cutlass came out in 1961.

My first car was an Oldsmobile Cutlass with a white body and blue top. My sister Linda gave it to my sister Annaliese and me. We were both at the University of Kentucky. Parking was free at the stadium, except during football games. Annaliese didn’t drive st the time. I drove that car to death.

I can’t remember the year. Likely a 1970 or somewhere around there.

My second car was a convertable maroon Dodge Polara. My father had a patient who sold used cars and said it was a great car, so my father surprised me with it. I think it was a 1966 and I got it in 1969.

My father just called me one day and said to take my car to the dealership and to pick up the new car. Keith loved the new cool car

I have been making a low-carb beef stew. It has taken hours.

Mine was all the same color, a light blue.

Keith didn't need a car before we were married as his mother rarely drove and he was almost always able to use her car.

Our first car purchase together was a Ford Torino. It was also our first new car. We took his parents with us and his father gave us a lesson in negogiating. We got the car at Town and Country Ford in Reseda. It was maybe in 1970 or '71.

Saturday afternoon greetings! I was outta here at 9:30 this morning for a meeting in Middletown that went on forever. Drove home in the rain, ate lunch, and took a nap.

My first car was an old AMC Hornet station wagon I begged my dad to help me get for $200 from a car dealer on Buford Highway in Duluth, GA.

DR Rodzinski, my first car was also a Hornet, bought new in Michigan for my big career move to Ohio. It was cream colored sedan with no air conditioning, which might have been OK in Michigan, but it’s a lot more humid here. As soon as I could afford it, I bought a Buick Skylark with AC.

I used the Kinder's meat loaf seasoning pack. Very good.

I had been using the Kinder's Buttery Steakhouse seasoning and like it, so I thought i would give it a try.

A nap after your morning must have been nice.

The memorial service this morning was beautiful, and my work colleague appreciated my being there. I don't know if she realized that I forfeited about $300 in overtime pay to be there, as I was scheduled to work today.

It was in a Roman Catholic church. It was an extremely beautiful and modern church, less than 20 years old. All marble and glass and nicely designed.

The male cantor had a very nice voice. No one in the congregations sang on the hymns. They don't provide hymnals in the pews.

We stayed for a lunch afterward. The "undercroft," in this case, is not underground and the space was flooded with light.

Soon will be en route to the benefit concert. I am bringing my jazz hands, and will be sure to post a full repor later.

I had planned to make more cookies this afternoon, but I wasn't in the mood.

I am, however, in the mood for meatloaf.

No rant today. Everything went smoothly.
