The sun broke through the clouds left over from yesterday’s rain to give us a beautiful morning. The blue sky is amazingly dark and stretches all the way across without a cloud. It is 59° but will get warmer. I have nothing on my dance card today, and my house can stay dusty. I’ll just enjoy the day.

I’ve had trouble getting started today. My muse is elsewhere, probably enjoying the day and leaving me in the lurch. I figure today is perfect for random thoughts.

I am not a user of ketchup, only once in a while on my French fries. I would never desecrate a hot dog or eggs with ketchup, that seems a violation of the natural order. I am also not a fan of yellow mustard. Of late, I have been using German mustard which comes in a glass. My cupboard is filling up with those small glasses. They look like the younger siblings of beer mugs.

I do not drink hot tea. It was a go to, with dry toast, for my mother when we were sick so I associate hot tea with being sick, but I have tea bags just in case, probably really old tea bags.

I wear sandals a lot in the summer. I cannot wear a sandal which has a strap between my toes. My favorite sandals are slip into sandals with a strap across the back of my foot. I bought these sandals in 2011 for my first trip back to Ghana. They have come with me every trip. They are still in wonderful condition. They and I would love one more trip.

I seldom check the back of my cabinets, the ones with spices and can goods. I just add new purchases to the front. The last time I culled was during a cleaning frenzy. I got all the way back on two shelves. One can won the record. It was four years over its use by date.

I get lazy, sloth like, when it comes to meals. Lately I’ve been cooking fried potatoes with caramelized onions. Sometimes I add ground beef or sausages. Usually I get at least two meals from this concoction.

I love breakfast for supper. Either I have fried eggs over easy or scrambled eggs with cheese. I always have toast.

I don’t remember a time we didn’t have a TV. I figure that makes me part of the first television generation. There were only a few stations when I was a kid, but that made little difference. We still thought TV was a marvel.

I will not get dressed today. I will stay in my cozies.
