Sundays in My City


I've been so busy this week, I haven't been outside in the daylight. Consequently, my Sundays in My City pics are from my house, instead. [sorry--pics have disappeared]

The soup swap was really nice; two of my sisters, my sister-in-law Karen and niece Abby, plus my mom swapped Beef Barley, Southwest Taco, Chicken Vegetable, Tomato Bisque, and Chili soups after enjoying some samples and salad for lunch :)

Cooper had some company in Homer (Mary's Australian Shepard), who helped Cooper watched for squirrels while we ate.

Mom and Homer cuddled a little bit...

Then, she told this joke:

A little girl about 13 came down the stairs in a tight, very immodest shirt and was confronted by her grandma as she went to leave for school, "What in the world are you doing? You can't go out like that; I can see right through your shirt!"

"Oh, Grandma..." the girl replied, pointing to her tiny breasts. "These are nothing but rosebuds!" She left for school. When she came home, she was met by her grandma coming down the stairs wearing no shirt or bra.

"Grandma! Have you lost your mind?!  I hope you're not going out like that!"

"What?!" replied Grandma. "I thought you'd like to see my hanging baskets!"

  3. LOL, my mother is so no a joke teller!

    Soup exchange sounds fun. That would require the other females in my family to cook, and my brother in law and nephew in law do most of the cooking in their families!

    Squirrel watching is a favorite past time in our house too. The dog and the cat watch together. What I have never figured out is why they will quietly watch for so long and then all of a sudden Princess practically jumps through the patio door. I guess there is one squirrel who she does not like!

    Have a great Sunday!

    I have some Turkey Veggie soup if you want to trade :) I put up 9 containers last week. I'm thinking that today is a broccoli and cheese soup day.

  13. I like the joke at the end. Go Grandma!!

    That soup exchange sure sounds like an interesting thing to do. Might try it with a bunch of my friends. We get together each month to watch an old film together. Must be make before 1965! A soup swap would go down real well in the cold winter months.

    Loved your post. Thank you.
