a little pressure here to let everyone know that all is well, food is delish and I am doing just fine. I think I have explained that food is the main focus - sorry. An old friend from high school is suggesting Spanyx (I could check that spelling, but I won't) since all I talk about is what I'm eating, but I feel no need to go there. I'll just tell you that my sweet neighbor across the street brought us a really fine barbeque dinner last night and we are still trying to figure out where it came from. I love things that I can taste!
Another dear friend is bringing dinner tonight and then we have Dallas relatives coming in for the weekend to look forward to. I imagine that there are other dinners in between, too. Seems terrible to like food this much - when there is nothing else to do, I guess that what one does.
I know that I can be creative so if any of you have any suggestions on topics to write about, please let me know - I am certain that I can write a doozy of a fantasy that will entertain us all. In the meantime, we'll just be bored together!
Miss you all - xxxgbg

I love to read your writing so please keep on writing. Are you reading any good books?

If you want to write my story for Conquest, I will not complain! Seriously, how many times in your life have you had too FEW things to write?? This must be a first.
ReplyDeleteWe miss you here. Miss hearing your laugh and your voice on the other side of the wall.
I want to do "Enchilada night" for you and your family (with no guest speakers, as I am sure you've had plenty recently!) Just let me know when. . .I think it's supposed to be on a Tuesday, right? Or Thursday?
Keep on blogging. . .we love reading! And by the way, you don't need no stinkin' Spanx!
Cheers,
DeDe
hmmmmm.... how about you write a short story about three 60 year old gringas go off to a spa and get involved with three 20 year old waiters....no wait,three 60 year old gringas adopt baby gorillas and devote themselves to....no wait......
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure you were reading your other emails from your work address so....I am sending you a "comment" about....you guessed it...food. I have you for Friday (or should I say...you have me). I noticed you are having Spinach Lasagna tomorrow...or maybe tonight???..so I thought I had better make (or buy) something else. I also can do Chicken in wine sauce with rice OR I am really, really good at doing take outs from ANY restaurant. Let me know if there is something you really miss...and how many are going to be there since you are having out-of-towners this weekend who may be there Friday! Just email me via pshuford@parkersu.com....I am excited to furnish "whatever your heart desires"(since I am not a culinary expert, I love suggestions for the entire meal...salad, veggie, dessert).

You even have a subliminal suggestion of food in your headline...albeit spelled differently than our favorite part of the meal -- dear Gail, a woman after my own heart! Just think of boredom as a good thing and "keep on keepin' on" with these wonderful blog posts! Have a great Mother's Day! -- Sarah W.
ReplyDeleteSweet Gail,
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to read your notes - just wish I could hear your laugh! I can give you a few topics to write about....try living with 3 teenage girls!!! Oh, you better stick to food - it's much more positive!

You can start writing a book about yourself! A best seller, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteGail, I thought you had been "desserted" - but read on to learn you had been "bar-b-qued" instead!
ReplyDeleteWith this down-time, how about writing a book about FOOD? You are surrounded by inspiration... the menus, the recipes, the cooks, the deliveries, the containers, the leftovers, etc.
Titles to consider...
Convalescing ON STEROIDS
You can Feed a Cold but You Can't Starve a Tumor
Life’s Little CONSUMPTION Book
Singing for your Supper
And, of course, the obvious…
BRAIN FOOD… The Brainiac’s Guide
You MUST keep those creativity juices flowing!
I love you and like you...

Gail,
ReplyDeleteI read your blog every day. There's no reason to feel pressure to be creative. We just want to keep in touch. People bringing food to the door would be reason to celebrate in my household.
Love, Jacque
When you get back to work I'll share my Spanyx story! It is hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteMiss you! Danette
