Well, as you guys can plainly see from the title today, I’ll have my work cut out for me the next few days…company’s comin’!
Sadly for me, this isn’t good friends dropping in for a visit…this is family (Deb’s family on top of that), coming down checkin’ on their “little sister.” I got to be on my “A-game” while they’re in town.
Melanie, whose husband, JH, has called her “Puss” ever since I can remember, and Christine, “Chris” are the two that are coming today. Since it just aggravates Melanie to no end being nicknamed Puss, I’ll refer to her today as Puss from here on out!!
Puss is the oldest of the whole “herd of ‘em,” and although they’re all nice, (I know Deb will be readin’ this behind me), she probably is the sweetest of the bunch too. She really is very pleasant to be around.
The only problem she gives me is her eating…she fixes her plate, she picks her food up, she brings it to her mouth, then she starts chewing…at about the, SOS (speed of sloth). By the time she finishes her meal, shoot, it’s time to mow the grass again. I know eating slowly is best for you, but she takes eating slowly to a whole nother level!
NASA has attempted to have her come to the Cape and speak with some of the astronauts. The reasoning is for Melanie to train them how to eat much slower than normal, and by doing so, possibly not having to take so many food supplies, leaving more room for payload.
The hope is that if this were successful, that by the time they had eaten 3 good meals, their 10 day flight would be near completion. It might just work.
The talks haven’t taken place as far as I know, as Melanie has never had the chance to go over…she hasn’t finished eating yet.
All jokes aside though, she IS the slowest eater I’ve ever been around, although here at our house she moves with a little “pep in her step” at eatin’ time anymore.
The first time Puss came to eat with us at our place, I broke her of just barely moving. Deb had laid supper out for us, and by the time Puss had gotten around to fixing her plate, it was all gone…I’d eaten everything.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
