Funny that I’d have conversational hearts as a Valentine’s word after Valentine’s Day but that’s how it popped up in the draw. As a kid I loved (ok I still do) those sweet confections with the red printed words. I think what made them fun was never knowing what message you’d get when popping one into your mouth. I tried to remember some of the sayings for the first piece I did. It then got me to thinking about a guy buying a few bags for a specific message to give a woman. Both verses short and to the point.
Terry’s word of the day yesterday was CHINWAG. I actually heard it before but never used it. I did an acrostic piece on the word about getting together with friends. In fact I used Friday’s Valentine’s word in the piece.
I had the most fun composing the wacky holidays piece. It was Hoodie Hoo Day yesterday. Now in my mind I pictured it about wearing hoodies. How wrong I was. Terry researched it before I could and she wrote a quick piece on it. Since it was something fun to do, I was heading out yesterday right before noon. I stood in my yard at noon waving my arms in the air and shouted “Hoodie Hoo”. My neighbor saw me then inquired how much did I have to drink already. I explained all I had was coffee and he then inquired if it was Irish coffee. Too funny indeed. Although I was disappointed I did not have Jell-O shots available to celebrate the last day of Jell-O week. I’ll make a note for next year.
As I think about the end of this month I feel slighted. Us February born queens and kings get gipped by a few days to celebrate our birthday month. I mean most months have thirty-one days and four have thirty where us in February only twenty-eight although we get an extra day every four years. Not fair! So I’m taking two extra days this year to celebrate; my birthday month now ends March second.
Today is Sunday; the first Sunday of Lent.
I recall during Lent we abstained from meat not only Fridays (which was normal anyhow) but Wednesdays as well. One reason I enjoy tomato soup and grilled cheese now I guess got so use to it. I had that for many a dinner time meal; baked fish and Mac’nCheese baked in the oven another favorite. I loved the baked top of the dish best. Homemade potato soup another favorite along with tuna casserole. Of course living in Northeast Pennsylvania for over thirty years, haluski, pierogies and pizza a lent staple as well as New England and/or Manhattan clam chowder. Friday night fish frys popular of course sponsored by the local fire companies or church. Living here in the Bible Belt area, it’s hard to get accustomed to not having these things available. Even the veterans organizations that have Friday evening dinners seem not to be meat free during Lent. As my husband and I do meat fast also on Wednesdays, we have found it not easy. Tuna hoagies (subs) make a good meal. I’ve become rather partial to Buffalo shrimp from one local eatery. I have a Facebook friend who owns a eating establishment up in Pennsylvania well two in fact. The one showcases her food on social media (she makes me hungry at times). The other advertises her weekend specials and again my mouth waters. Both make and sell pizza at their businesses so I know this is their busy time of year.
Well tomorrow for many it’s back to the grind.
Until next time....enjoy your day and as always Stay Safe.

CHINWAG
Chatting away and drinking coffee
Having an old fashion gabfest on a Saturday
It’s always fun catching up with friends
Now and then we need to get together
With those we only see on occasion
As we chat, coffee time becomes wine time
Great times with buddies a cherished
moment
