100 More Things To Do & Peppermint Bars


Today. December 28, 2012. Cold. Rainy. Windy. Gloomy.

Time to do some cleaning in the house. The laundry. The dishes.

The house is heated good… I think. Well … look what I found while cleaning “my corner” … The Lufkin News, Sunday paper dated July 1, 2012. Charm column.

“100 MORE Things To Do In Our Fair City”.

Eeemmm… lets find out some of them.

1. Pick Blueberries at the Grimes Blueberry Farm. (I don’t know where the farm is, someone, like my hubby should know)

2. Sip something warm at Standpipe Coffeehouse. (Yea, I know where Standpipe is… Ted Cruz was there. No kidding I saw his picture on the paper sometimes this year.)

7. Go Thrift Shopping. – Yes! Yes! I like this very much … Lufkin Antique Mall. Heritage Antique. Tried Mama. Thriftier you said? Goodwill. Salvation Army Thrift Store and there are more. Oh … I hate it when it is a cold, rainy, windy and gloomy day like today.

15. Count the flamingos at Ellen Trout Zoo. Not today but that will be fun on sunshine day : )

46. Take a photo in front of a “Welcome to Lufkin” sign. (This is a must! Now, that make me feel more tourist then a resident of this town – but that would be fun for my sisters to see back home. )

 91. Take an online class from Angelina College. (Yupe! Have to find out when their next “Texan Classes” – I have to learn how speak Texan. )

 
May be I should just go and make some Peppermint Bars instead of “mourning and groining” about how cold, raining, gloomy outside are. Yes, I found this recipe on The Journey magazine, December 2012 issues. They are looking delicious. Yes the oven is on, the kitchen is warm … eeemmm Peppermint Bars.
