I'm Beyond Excited
...........hold me down!

Yes they are! Grandma J was in H.E.B. yesterday, picking up some fresh produce and some other healthy stuff when she saw something that almost made her pee her bloomers stopped her dead in her tracks.

Dear mother of all things holy.....it's not a knock off of America's best cookies evah...it's the real McCoy. It's the Original MOTHER'S Animal Cookies. When Mother's went out of business, the skies thundered and lightning ripped through the valley.......the cookie gods were angry, and so was Grandma J. The news devasted Grandma J's good friends all over the world too.

Look at them.... can you almost taste them? Guess what Grandma J had for breakfast this morning? Uh huh...correcto!

Guess what she's having for lunch?

This is what she's having for lunch. Another Mother's Cookie favorite that's back!

It seems Kellogg's of Battlecreek Michigan is now the keeper of the Mother's Cookie recipes! And all is good in the world.

One more thing........

Ryan, you and Cam have to ask Michael to buy you some of your favorite cookies ASAP!

SUNDAY IN CALIFORNIA...........

.........is much the same as Texas!

Honestly, I wanted to make today a red letter day. The sky was clear, the sun was warm and the morning coffee was excellent.

I'm Catholic, and in Texas my parish is St. Paul Chong Hasang. It was established by a small community of Korean Catholics, and now serves a much larger community with most masses in English. I love my parish.

So here in Southern California, I chose not to go to the local St. Josephs, but I went to mass at St. John Paul II, which is a unique parish that caters to the Polish community. I never knew there was a Polish Community, but the parishoners come from all over Southern California. I loved the mass, and then the festivities they have afterwards with authentic music and food. It's become somewhat of a tourist attraction with all the Polish art, crafts and culture.

Now that I was all holied up, I attended a Little League Baseball game for my grandson Ryan. Just the thing I would probably be doing in Texas. He pitched, caught and played second base and had three grandmas and a great-grandma cheering him on! What fun!

Late afternoon we headed a few miles in the opposite direction for a Harvest Festival at another church. We had some good rockin' gospel music.....not unlike churches in Texas would have, and then we went inside the hall for some bingo!

Yep, of course it was another Catholic church, because didn't they invent bingo?
I won two games in a row, each paying $30. We headed over to the beer garden for some more music, then headed home.

And pictures? I took plenty...but my memory card was in the slot on my laptop and not in my camera. I don't have my cable to download them.

So Sistas? When are you going to start circulating that Blogging for Dummies Book?

I may go to a mattinee tomorrow....maybe....a big maybe
