Friday Funnies
Each of today’s funnies have a little something to do with what’s going on with me this weekend.
We are in San Francisco not only to visit Marissa but to celebrate Dave’s birthday as well. On Sunday, he’ll turn 56, so vodka really only did come in one flavor when he became of legal drinking age.
This really is always my dream, but when in San Francisco, even more so!
No comment is needed for this one!

My friend, Larry
As many of you know, Arizona Cardinals wide-receiver, Larry Fitzgerald, is a dear friend of mine.
If you don’t already follow him on Facebook or Twitter – now is the time! Here is what Larry posted on Facebook on Wednesday, October 2nd:
“As of yesterday I’m donating .25 per new follower, $1,000 per reception & $10,000 per touchdown for the entire month of October #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth#ThinkPink Please share, like, comment and forward on to everyone you know! Let’s make this the biggest year yet!!!”
By the time I saw the post on Facebook, it had been up for 12 minutes. Here is the text I send him:
“Gotta say, I love your Facebook post. I wanted to comment, “But, of course you are!!!”But I knew it would get lost among the other 1,500 comments you got in a mere 12 minutes. So I just “liked” it along with the other 4,700 likes you already had! All in all – You Rock!! xoxo”
“Love ya Linda, I am just trying to do my part to help people in need.”

FYI
Two years and one day ago, I posted THIS. It’s the easy instructions for making homemade vanilla extract. In it, I tell you to run out to Cost Plus Market and buy vanilla beans. That was good advice back then.
Today, I would like to revise that advice and tell you to run as fast as you possibly can (or drive the speed limit) to Costco and buy as many packages of their fantastic vanilla beans as you can afford, or as you can use, or as you might like to give as gifts. Personally, I bought 5 packages.
It has been about three years since I last found these vanilla beans at Costco, so I know they are only there for a limited time. They are amazing, they are super cheap … a steal really! Ten long fresh, soft and supple, superbly lovely vanilla beans for only $11.19 each. Trust me, you won’t find them cheaper anywhere!

$20 per person plus individual project fees
Hopkins’ Home in Equestrian Manor
12007 N 62nd Place
Scottsdale, AZ 85254
Here’s the scoop – The basic class fee is $20 per person. You pay that to register and just for the opportunity to bask in the glow of “fall crafting”!!! OK, it actually covers the food, booze, and some of the most basic supply costs, such as glue sticks and cheap paint brushes.
When you arrive, you’ll receive a number. The first to arrive (on time, not like 2 hours before, for God’s sake!) gets #1 and the last gets #18, or whatever is the last number, determined by how many people sign up.
